In 2005, several alt-models complaining of censorship and mistreatment of the models by management, launched a simultaneous legal and media battle against the site they had called home, SuicideGirls.com. In addition, the models complained that their SuicideGirls.com contract limited them from making a living since it included a non-compete agreement barring them from modeling for any other site or agency that dealt with nudity or erotica.
