Could have sworn I'd seen interviews/articles before about how this person doesn't care and uses it to brag to his friends.

That's certainly possible - the article quotes him from a few years ago talking about how it's been a positive experience that opened doors for him.

We all process things differently, but making a joke of something that hurts is a VERY common way of dealing.

Idk if his claims of trauma are real or not, but I'll tell you what - that image was worth more than the ~$200 his parents got for it and on those grounds alone I'd award him a few hundred thousand.

Why do you think it would be worth more than $200? People bought the album for the music, not the cover. And even if the art might be worth more, wouldn’t it be the photographer who made the image that deserved it? Any other baby could substitute, and it would be essentially the same image. What unique quality did this particular baby contribute?

You'd wish the courts to bail out anybody that ever made a deal that turned out not so great?
