Verne "Mini Me" Troyer Sues Web Site Over Sex Tape Story
Friday June 27, 2008
 Isaac Brekken/Getty Images Verne "Mini Me" Troyer has filed a $20 million lawsuit against celeb Web site TMZ.com for running a clip of his sex tape online. In the suit (filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles), the actor, 39, alleges that the site violated his privacy rights, infringed on his copyright and misappropriated his name and likeness. He claims Kevin Blatt — who distributed Paris Hilton's One Night in Paris — stole the tape (Blatt is named as a defendant in the suit). Troyer is also seeking an injunction prohibiting further dissemination of the video. TMZ — which reported the news on its Web site Thursday — aired the 20-second clip earlier this week. The snippet shows Troyer tongue-kissing a former "live-in girlfriend" in their apartment. A source tells Us the rest of the tape is considerably racier.

Shannon - you're an idiot. Yes sex is a private matter, and so is the video you put it on. Maybe you just need to get laid and tape it. :)

1.) If you're famous in any way, don't make a sex tape unless you don't mind it surfacing. They should all know that by now.

Any celebrity that is stupid enough to make a sex tape should know that eventually it WILL become public! If I were on the jury deciding his claim, I wouldn't give him a dime! Stupid is as stupid does!

What's with all these celebs insisting on making a sex tapes? Cause they always end up getting brought out into the public eye. If you are a celeb you shouldn't make these types of tapes unless you are able to take out a personal vault in Fort Knox to keep it safe.

Thats what he was hoping for all along..someone to leak it so he could sue! He should be paying TMZ to publicize that sh!t and they are doing it for free. He should be thankful and call it a day.

First of all, there was nothing to see in that little clip (no pun intended) that was released. Nothing except his hugely gross tongue going after that manly looking girl. It was disgusting! And didn't anyone ever teach Verne not to videotape things he wouldn't want the whole world to see? Kinda like momma teaching you not to write things you don't want the whole world to see? I hope the court throws this whole thing out!

Why video tape sexual incounters? It's a private matter and should never be taped. What can you expect doing stupid things. You get what you deserve. I hope he gets nothing. I can only imagine how silly the tape looks. I can't imagine this dork tongue kissing anyone.
