A New York City judged tossed out a lawsuit against hedge fund manager Maria Kristina Dominguez after complaining that Vibe magazine published a topless photo of her in a mermaid outfit taken at one of the rapper's parties.

People should not expect privacy when Diddy throws a big party, Judge Doris Ling-Cohan ruled, noting that his "White Party" events attract significant attention from the public and many news organizations.

The 28-year old woman had filed a $3 million suit alleging invasion of privacy. The photo was initially published in the November 2006 issue with the caption "Mermaids Gone Wild."

It showed a photo of the plaintiff and two other women dressed as mermaids at a swimming pool during a 2003 East Hampton party.
