Bristol & Lifetime being sued

Heckler files suit against Bristol Palin, TV network | Anchorage Daily News - The News Tribune

A Los Angeles man who launched an expletive-laden tirade against Sarah Palin’s daughter, Bristol, has filed a lawsuit against the Lifetime Network alleging he was taped for her reality show without his knowledge or consent.


In a federal lawsuit filed Wednesday, Stephen Hanks seeks general and punitive damages, saying he’s a victim of defamation and invasion of privacy after video aired of the heated confrontation.

Hanks alleges he wasn’t told the film crew at a West Hollywood bar in September was shooting footage for the reality show “Bristol Palin: Life’s a Tripp.”

I'm not surprised he's suing. I AM surprised that he wasn't in on it to begin with. I figured the situation as a setup.

He unleashes on her and then whines he's been defamed because somebody caught his insanity on tape?

Funny.

 

[BDBoop]

They didn't get his permission.

Very illegal, bad and wrong.

 

[California Girl]

I can't express how many ***** I do not give.

 

[koshergrl]

Bullshit. You go to a public event that is being filmed, and scream abuse, you have no such right.

This will be funny to watch peter out.

That's why they call Cali the 'sue me' state.

Would love to see the actual footage of him.

 

[koshergrl]

I suspect we'll never hear about this again.

I can't express how many ***** I do not give.

But enough to bother telling us how much you don't dave.

I think not.

I saw the footage when the incident occurred. People figured out by Bristol's behavior that it was a setup.

BDBoop is correct. Yes, I know that's redundant.

 

[BDBoop]

It's a joke.

He goes to a television show taping, has a nutbar rant attack, and wants to claim he has to give his permission for it to be taped?

Joke.

It wasn't a television show taping. Had it been, he would have had to sign a release. Hence the lawsuit.

 

[koshergrl]

The guy is psycho. Drunken idiot attacks her when she's being filmed.

He is the biggest loser.

Okay. Bristol and Lifetime are being sued by the biggest loser, and since he didn't give permission for the footage to air, he will likely win.

 

[koshergrl]

No he won't.

I was filed once at Pendleton Round Up. I was in the Let 'er Buck Room under the stands, whooping it up and having a blast.

My brother saw me on the evening news. I didn't sign a release. The guy popped off when cameras were rolling. He saw the cameras, he knew he was being filmed, they were WITH BRISTOL.

It's a public place, the cameras weren't hidden..why would I sue?

 

[koshergrl]

Of course, I wasn't embarassed by what I said. I guess that makes a difference.
