Sent their reply back to our host and asked them to forward to the complainanit.
Host said not our job, so we did it instead. No reply from complainant. In the meantime the host emailed us and said they forcibly removed the content. Wrong action completely on their part.

The original complaint was a case of model's regrets, moving on, however the complaint read the model owns the content. Completely false.
Your host followed the law. Even if it’s a bogus complaint the content still has to come down before it goes back up and there is a process for your counter-affidavit. This really sucks because there is a lot of inaccurate DMCA lately, but the teeth to the law actually allow you to sue the complaining party as a false DMCA is subject to liability. Unfortunately nobody is ever suing these companies and holding them accountable.
