Verne Troyer, the little guy who’s best known for his work with Mike Myers in the Austin Powers franchise and now the steaming pile known as The Love Guru, has sued gossipmonger TMZ.com for posting a sex tape starring the actor.
In the lawsuit (view PDF here), Troyer says he sent multiple cease-and-desist orders to the website both before and after they shared the video, which features the dwarf performer with his ex-girlfriend Ranae Shrider. The tape was allegedly stolen sometime in the past year.
The suit also names One Night in Paris porn peddler Kevin Blatt as a defendant for trying to broker a deal for the video’s sale through an online porn distributor. Blatt reportedly has received offers as high as $100,000 for the footage.
Troyer is seeking ONE MEEELLION DOLLARS in damages.*
And sorry, sickos: TMZ pulled the post after the lawsuit hit. You’ll just have to wait for someone else to leak it to satisfy your pervy intentions.
*Sorry, couldn’t resist. Multiply that by twenty.
A more fundamental for me is why would anyone get their rocks off watching a midgit having sex with some Hollywood bimbo?
I heard it’s already nominated for an AVN award for Best Short Subject.
Trust me fellow sickos. There are some things you can’t unsee. I only saw a still photo somewhere, and am currently typing this blind because I gouged my eyes out with the eraser end of a pencil. They grow back right?
Sounds like Verne “brokered” the deal on his terms. The “trailer” was already out, he was offered 100K and then he said it was leaked? Not likely. The trailer shows nothing, he put it out there to get people talking and then sued for the higher amount. Nice work Verne, pretty smart for a short guy.
Pasta, I think we saw the same still photo. I will never be okay again.
He’s just following the same formula that all these people with sex tapes have. It’s a side line all on its own for the desperate, washed up, and pathetic.
I saw that photo and I can’t express how utterly repulsed I was by it. I think I’d rather be stuck in a room full of spiders than submit to that tongue.
How exactly is this hypocritical? Sorry guys … not Deceiver-worthy. Someone ought to suspend Simon for a week with no kibble. Get on it, Oversneer.
Huh? What did I do?
I don’t recall Mini-me ever taking a stand against celebrity sex tapes, or saying that Kim Kardashian should’ve dropped her lawsuit and shut her pie-hole. (Insert pie-hole joke here.) I kinda feel sorry for the guy, if the tape got stolen. And for the girl too, since everyone now knows she’s been banging an Oompa-Loompa.
Okay. But I didn’t write this.
And even if I did… lighten up!
OOPSIE — I meant Holly.
Crack the whip in her direction, please.
Sorry, Simon.
When I saw the trailer I thought “now this is the hottest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.”
And by “hottest” I mean it made me throw up in my mouth and made my vagina shrink up like a dried apple.
But after One Night in Chyna I think I could handle the whole video.
FangFang — for the record, and I admit I wasn’t clear, I think TMZ is the one in the wrong here. They received and ignored a bunch of legal warnings from Troyer and did it anyway. I found it particularly ironic that they titled the original post “Mini-Me Sex Tape: Avert Your Eyes!” (and you can still see it in Google’s cache) when they should have avoided running it in the first place.
Just trying to avoid the whip.
Wait, Ruby, you watched One Night in Chyna? Did you lose a bet or was it a game of Truth or One Night in Chyna?
Still resisting the urge to see what everyone is grossed out over.
I’ll stick with 2girls1cup.
I wonder how all these sex tapes wind up getting “stolen” to begin with. Who knows exactly who has a sex tape and where to find it, did they show it to someone and said person stole it, did the thieves steal anything else, or are they all just full of shit? To be fair, maybe just some of them are full of shit.
Rocko, I was just curious. I’d heard rumors of what the rampant ‘roid use had done to her girly-parts and I had to see for myself. There aren’t words to describe it, unless you can think of one word which sums up “oh my god!” “awesome!” “jesus christ!” and gagging.
Geez Ruby, now I’m curious too. That was Chyna with a Y?
