Five years after a famously suggestive Burger King ad ran in Singapore, the woman who appeared in it—without her permission, she says—has publicly excoriated the fast-food chain for humiliating her.

The woman, who has not revealed her identity, posted a YouTube video on Tuesday in which she explains her side of the story. And it isn't pretty. She doesn't claim BK stole the image, necessarily, but strongly objects to the suggestive way it was used.

"Burger King found my photo online from a series I did of various facial expressions and contortion poses, and with no due regard to me as a person, profited off reducing me to an orifice for their penis sludge; publicly humiliating me in the process," she writes in the video description.
