Verne Troyer has filed a $20 million lawsuit, claiming TMZ violated his rights by publishing and airing portions of his sex tape.
In the suit, filed today in U.S. District Court in downtown L.A., Troyer claims TMZ violated his privacy rights and infringed on his copyright and trademark by running portions of the tape on TMZ TV and TMZ.com. He also alleges TMZ violated his right of publicity and misappropriated his name and likeness.
Troyer says the tape was stolen and ended up in the hands of Kevin Blatt, the guy who distributed “One Night in Paris.” Blatt is also named as a defendant.
In addition to damages, Troyer wants an injunction prohibiting further dissemination of the video.
Calls to TMZ were not returned.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
TMZ has not pulled the clip.
It is still viewable in all its glory here.
Oh, how I hope this thing gets released in full. Please, God. In the past ten days, I have had three of those awful, hurty, way-beneath-the-skin pimples. I am owed this.
When I saw that earlier I started laughing too!… of course after I thought about it for a few seconds and finally understood it. Eh, I’m slow.
Good lord I can’t still believe how did that girl agree to go to bed with Mini Me. Sweet lord Jesus it’s nasty!
“move along folks…….nothing (or little) to see here!”
That was the funniest thing I’ve seen all day!:)
Hey Mire,
That’s the sam thing I was thinking. Apparently the girl is like 22 years old and good friends wth Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian. The picture’s up on celebrityjackass.com
And I dont know why TMZs not taking it down. Jennifer Aniston sued Perez or putting up nude pics of he and SHE WON. But at the same time she made that pick famous…I bet thats why TMZ is keeping it up.
GROSS! GROSS! GROSS! GROSS! GROSS!!!!!! DOES SHE LIKE FUCKING BABIES? BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE!!!! MUTHA FUKIN GROSSSSSSS I FUCKIN SCREAMED WHEN I SAW THAT SHIT, but i am just a little curious to see how they did it LOL!
Listen, Beet, I’ve been wondering what would make you want to imprint those images on your brain??? The thought just turns my stomach. I couldn’t even watch the clip TMZ has up. And don’t get me wrong, it does NOT turn my stomach because he is a little person (hey they should enjoy sex just like a full-length person) but rather because he is a total douche-bag loser! Ewwwwwww…. I could not stomach watching Spencer Pratt have his sexy time either. GRosS!
maybe it’s just me but i think the girl is pretty ugly.
^^ the camera angle is not great but I’m afraid from the clip I have to agree.
Oh my god, when he sticks out his tongue…bleurghhhh….
He is just a disgusting little troll, and he should be thrilled at getting the publicity he is getting out of it, since he hasn’t done a damn thing in years. He didn’t mind VH1 showing him pissing, puking and bleeting like a goat on Surreal Life. I’d rather a sex tape be seen of me than a drunken night pissing in the corner of a weight room!
^^Actually he’s in Mike Myers & JT’s new movie The Love Guru.
You guys – I know it is kinda freaky, but little people are people too. Stop being so closed minded and mean.
Well, he’s a pretty ugly little person. Some little people are rather attractive. Verne, not so much.
umm…..let’s see, what are two of the grossest things that happened to me today….. one would be watching verne’s tongue sticking in some skanks mouth, much like a frog after a fly, and the other is thinking about your painful acne issues while watching verne sticking his tongue in some skanks mouth. they say saliva is good for acne…you should call verne.
Fuck TMZ
@mimi: with the reviews The Love Guru has been getting, I’m not sure if it counts as doing anything.
