Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart Sue Gawker Over Sex Tape
TMZ.com is reporting that Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart have filed a $1 million lawsuit in a Los Angeles court against Gawker.com over the much-clicked upon sex-tape the website posted of the two (plus former beauty queen Kari Ann Peniche) last month. Per TMZ:
Dane and Gayheart filed a lawsuit today in L.A. County Superior Court, claiming Gawker.com had not only unlawfully posted almost 4 minutes of the private video that was shot behind closed doors, but “maliciously” distributed the video and included nude shots of the fabulous threesome
Dane and Gayheart want more than $1 million in damages. Their lawyer — legal pit bull Marty Singer — is also asking for an injunction to pull the plug on the video.
Gawker publisher Nick Denton twittered this just moments ago: “To quote the great Marty Singer — Eric Dane’s lawyer — if you don’t want a sex tape on the internet, “don’t make one!”" This is not actually the first time Gawker has been sued for posting a sex tape. Back in 2005 Limp Biscuit singer Fred Durst sued the site for $80 million for posting a sex tape of him. Later Durst dropped the case and(!) sent Denton flowers.
