Snapchat has become a social media platform famous for its public story feature. Although numerous celebrities have shared controversial photos or videos with followers, sometimes they’re completely inappropriate. In the case of former Playboy model Dani Mathers, Cosmopolitan reports the 30-year-old has received three years probation for her Snapchat mistake.  Â
Last July, Mathers photographed a 70-year-old naked woman in an L.A. Fitness locker room. Not only did she invade the unknown woman’s privacy, but Mathers also body-shamed her by captioning the picture, “If I can’t unsee this, then you can’t either.” Mathers posted the photo to her public Snapchat story, although she later claimed the message was meant to be private. Â
On Wednesday, the judge in this high-profile case decided on a punishment for Mathers, who pleaded no contest to an invasion of privacy charge. Not only will she spend the next three years on probation, but she will also have to spend 30 days removing graffiti in Los Angeles. On top of those punishments, Mathers is no longer a radio show host nor is she allowed at any L.A. Fitness in the future.
The Los Angeles Times reports that Mathers never knew the identity of the woman she body-shamed, but according to her attorney Dana Cole, “[She] wanted to be done with [the trial] and accept responsibility for what occurred.” The former model has apologized publicly multiple times since the incident.

The real question to consider now is whether Mathers’ punishment is harsh enough for her body-shaming crime. Â
