TV bosses are facing a £10,000 lawsuit after filming a passer-by on the street for a documentary about obese people.
Gordana Knezic, 40, said she had no idea that Croatian station HTV were filming her as she shopped in the capital Zagreb .
She says she was horrified to see herself on TV later described as an example of an overweight person.
Programme-makers say they have already apologised. HTV spokesman Janos Roemer said: "We have been in contact with the lady concerned."
But Ms Knezic said she would still be taking them to court.
She said: "I was absolutely staggered when I turned on the TV to see myself in a film about fat people.
"It was terrible. An apology is not enough. I want to make a point with this legal case. I want to show that attacks on human dignity like this cannot be tolerated."
