In 2003 she won an injunction against Rutter preventing him from distributing the video or accompanying photographs, but in 2004 the video began being [14] [15] distributed online through a Russian website.

When Diaz was asked if she can speak Spanish she said:

Diaz in June 2007

Igo, 'God, you know, it all sounds so familiar. I know what you're saying, I really do. I just cannot respond to you back in Spanish. I can ― [16] barely speak English properly.' I didn't grow up in a Cuban community. I grew up in Southern California on the beach, basically. And I'm third generation. I'm of Cuban descent.
