they should better focus ONLY on their core business which is Editorial photography !

instead now they have videos, news, creative, forum, apps, blogs, facebook .. ? it's a red flag to me when a business starts spreading too much, smells of desperation.

after all what's their core product all about ? a huge non-edited collection which is not keyworded in-house and therefore prone to any sort of spam, sorry that's not going to fly against agencies like Getty or other editorial specialists !

From Wiki:

Glamour photography is a genre of photography in which the subjects, usually female, are portrayed in erotic or exciting ways ranging from fully clothed to nude but in ways that either may conceal or may otherwise not especially draw attention to the subjects nipples and vulva. Glamour photography is typically less explicit than pornography and erotica although the term may also be used as a euphemism for erotic photography.

What career? She has become a walking time bomb, no photographer would want to shoot her anymore, risking to be sued. Great publicitiy, she is now getting more focus on the adult shots, more focus on the porn ads and more focus on here being a liability. Bad publicity is still publicity but obviously not the one you want in this case. Unless she expects to lose the case and just wants to jump start her 15 minutes of fame.

I have been with them for a while but my newer batch has been accepted and  older batches are still in queue.

In 2012 Getty had 80M images, I estimate them now to have 105M images, and now they added the Istock collection of roughly 15M images. Growing their library by 14% overnight to 120M images.

Just as any other business, issue an invoice with payment terms. Freelancing as a photographer is no different from any other freelancing job. Payment after delivery is very common.
