The daughter told her parents, who were unaware of the photo, that the nanny took the picture as part of a “cops and robbers” game, according to an affidavit.

Documents filed Thursday by the FBI and U.S. attorney’s office in U.S. District Court say an acquaintance of the couple’s former nanny has threatened to sell a photo of the child. The photo was purportedly taken by the couple’s former nanny and shows the girl bound to a chair in revealing clothing..

“A criminal complaint was filed today in federal court in Los Angeles by the U.S. Attorney’s office and the FBI stating that Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford have been the victims of an on-going extortion scheme,” Crawford’s spokeswoman Annett Wolfsaid in a statement Thursday. “This crime has been committed by Edis Kayalar, an acquaintance of a former nanny employed by the family. Mr. Kayalar threatened to sell an image taken of the couple’s then-seven-year-old daughter. There was no previous awareness by Mr. Gerber and Ms. Crawford of the existence of the photograph when they were contacted by Mr. Kayalar. The photo was taken by the former nanny as part of a purported game without the knowledge of the parents. The couple reported the extortion threat to the police and the FBI began a criminal investigation in the matter. Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford intend to pursue any and all available legal action against anyone who aids the perpetrator in the distribution or sale of the photograph of their daughter.”

Crawford — who was a regular presence on the runway in the 1990s — married Gerber in 1998. They have two children.

“I have cellulite,” the ’90s It Girl confesses.

“I admit it. But sometimes I just say, ‘Screw it, I am going to wear a bikini. I think I look good for my age. I am not 25; I am 43. That feels like a big pressure, especially when the National Enquirer is dying to get a picture,” says Cindy, who has two children with husband Rande Gerber.

“I am so aware that I don’t want to change the way I live because of that kind of attention. So you say, ‘Screw it. I am wearing a bikini, and I am not putting on a cover-up.’ You just brace yourself for a bad picture.”

At 43, supermodel mom Cindy Crawford defies Mother Nature in the April 2009 issue of Allure. The mother of two stripped down to her birthday suit and lathered up in shaving cream to show us twenty-somethings how it’s done as part of the mag’s annual Anti-Aging Edition.

“…My hands and my decollete. In LA, there are 65-year-old women walking around in Juicy sweatpants, and from the back, you’d think they were 20. But when you see their hands or their neck, you know.”

“I just embrace where I am today. I think I look pretty good for 43,” she tells the publication. “But I don’t look the way I did when I was 23. … I’ve had two kids, and I’m 43, so leave me alone.”

Cindy Crawford has denied a recent report claiming she banned her children from watching Disney’s Hannah Montana after the popular series made her 7-year-old daughter, Kaya, “too sassy.”

“She is a fan of ‘Hannah Montana,’” a rep for the supermodel mom said Thursday. “And she has taken her daughter to multiple shows.”

Former supermodel Cindy Crawford has banned her young daughter from watching Miley Cyrus’ hit Disney series Hannah Montana, because it teaches the 7-year-old to talk back.

“I love Hannah Montana, but she (daughter Kaya) learns to be sassy from that show. I’ll say to her, ‘I don’t let anyone talk to me like that. I’ll certainly not take it from a seven year old in my own house.’”

Forty-two year former catwalk maven Cindy Crawford, now a mother of two, reminds us why she’s graced more magazine covers than any other supermodel in history with a saucy new photoshoot in the December issue of French Vogue.
