Used how? They're "used" all the time if someone refuses permission 
because she believes the use will damage her reputation.  She doesn't 
have to give an excuse or explanation.  If by use you mean "as a legal 
foundation for a claim of infringement," then you won't find many, if 
any, cases in US case law.  But you'll find them all over Europe, where 
the Berne Convention and WIPO default to jurisdictions whose national 
laws do recognize moral rights as a legal basis for a claim of infringement.
