Verne Troyer's Ex: Abuse Claims "Riddled With Lie Upon Lie"
Friday August 1, 2008
 Albert L. Ortega/WireImage.com Verne Troyer's ex is firing back at the 2'8" actor after he accused her of abuse in a new lawsuit. "This lawsuit is ridiculous and riddled with lie upon lie from Verne Troyer and his camp," Holly Bannon, a rep for aspiring actress Ranae Shrider, tells Usmagazine.com in a statement. "It is in our opinion a transparent attempt to secure as much publicity as he can from his less than average career in the wake of his most recent failure in The Love Guru." On Thursday, lawyers for Troyer, 39 — who is seeking $20 million in damages — said the actor feared for his safety after Shrider once held him against his will. Troyer's lawyer told TMZ: "When you pick up a 2'8" human being and throw him to the floor, it hurts." But Bannon tells Us, "the only abuse that ever occurred in their household was that of emotional abuse inflicted upon Ranae and her dog Lacy on the occasions when he hit Ranae and her dog with his 'reaching sticks' or kicked them when having one of his drunken rages. "This alleged abuse certainly has not seemed to affect his recent round of interviews or his golf swing over the weekend. Is this not the same man who is renown as a professional stuntman in all his movies?" The suit comes after Shrider admitted she had leaked a clip of a sex tape she made with Troyer. (The actor settled a lawsuit he filed against a porn broker that will prevent distribution of the tape.) Troyer recently opened up to Us Weekly about the humiliation he experienced after the footage surfaced. "I put all the trust in her," Troyer told Us. "She kept the tape in her camera on top of the closet where I couldn't even reach it!" Asked how he feels about Shrider, he told Us: "Hate is a good word."

Oh Oshkosh B'Gosh, this nasty little Rumpelstilskins just can't keep from giving the wee folk a bad name. Didn't he audition for the film "Little Man"? Opps, guess I was wrong about that one,Troyer's talent limitations would have put him out of the running for a film that "high brow".

People are so busy nowadays, worrying and fearing what's next. STOP! Think about what you can do to help others that don't have it as good as you do. What have you done lately to "Pay-it-forward" like the book "21 Days To Creating Your Dream Life" talks about? Try doing one thing every week, eventually everyday, to change the perceptions of how people view each other - help someone in need, give to your favorite charity, visit a retirement home and talk with some of the residents about life, help a stranger, hug your loved ones and tell them how much you love them, and most of all - don't let fear drive your life, dance with it, and love life. Try living in the moment, you'll be surprised at what happens!

Yes she looks like a freak... look at her eyes. She has an eerie expression. What about the fact that she leaked her own sex-tape with him? What kind of woman/person does that? There is a lot to be said about her conduct. I wouldn't buy one word that comes from her mouth

2:54 your point of view must at the same level as Verne's. From my point of view if YOU are in MY house and you are mean or abusive to me then YOU have to leave. I can null and void any funky contract in my best interest with minimal problems. So perhaps there is nothing to the story more than both parties needing a PR run.

Hollywood has an ugly underside and we're seeing it now. If Verne was abusive to her she could have left, but according to news sources she's still living in his house which from my point of view means 2 things... 1) she's mentally abusing him 2) she has no money or friends or other place to go. If she was my daughter I'd be very ashamed of her. If she has any friends I suspect they're not nice people. It's so insulting the comments people are making about Verne Troyer on this site. He didn't ask for this publicity. He's fighting to keep something that should have been private private. Have some freaking respect!
