Scarlett Johansson case opens up against French author Gregoire Delacourt. His novel La premiere chose qu'on regarde (The First Thing We Look At) incorporates a character which makes fraudulent use of Johansson's name, fame and image for commercial gain. [1]

Johansson sued Delacourt for making false claims about her love life in the novel, and presenting her as a sex object. The character based on Johansson has two affairs, something that Johansson never experienced in her actual life. This was seen as defamatory. Johansson sought 50,000 euros, and that the book not be made into a movie. She was awarded €2500, and €2500 in legal costs.

Pronunciation[edit]

Her last name being of Danish origin (from her father, as mentioned in the article), shouldn't it be pronounced "yohannson"? What is the source for it being pronounced "djohansson"? CielProfond (talk) 13:25, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

It is weird, because her last name is the Swedish spelling of that surname. The Danish spelling would be Johansen. Perhaps her distant relatives are from Sweden? Anyway, being Swedish myself, something along the lines of "yohannson" is indeed how it is pronounced. Not knowing phonetics myself, I can't update the page. Nymf (talk) 15:18, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
Ah, according to List of Swedish Americans#cite_ref-19 her great grandfather was indeed Swedish. Nymf (talk) 15:24, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

173.206.4.9 (talk) 12:45, 4 August 2015 (UTC) Dear Editors, The birth place of where Scarlett Johannson was born is incorrect. She was born in Alberta, Canada. The place she grew up in is called Fort McMurray. This means she is Canadian.

In the beginning section it says that Scarlett grew up with "little money" in quotes. It is quoting a photo caption from a 2010 article in Glamour magazine. I would think this is false. By the time she was 18 she had been in 12 feature films. She also went to a private elementary school for acting in New York City. The tuition cost is 38k a year. I would think the idea of her having little money is far fetched. It doesn't provide and factual or reliable information. It simply quotes an obscure photo caption.
