Dangerfield's Wife Sues to Stop "Extremely Sensitive" Vid

1. I have to assume much of the footage is showing Rodney in ill health. I not sure why this footage was shot. However; if Permut was a real friend, he wouldn’t put it out for public consumption for his own ambition under the guise he’s doing it for friend.

Allow us to remember Rodney as the funny and self-enfacing comic that he was.

4. Some people will do anything for money.

Permut, don't be a sleez ball, let the man lie in peace. What's wrong with you people in show business.

Sounds like he was your friend. Is this the way you treat friends?

5. Is it questionable? Sure. Is it illegal? Probably not.

7. this is just sick.....for the love of all f*****g things let the man RIP and don't use his family's suffering for personal gain

8. He was invited into the home, so to her I say too bad so sad. He can probably do whatever he wants with HIS film. Tacky yes, illegal-doubt it!

9. Probably shows him making racist jokes. That's the only reason I can think of that his wife would protest having it made public. Dangerfield has always reminded me of my step-grandfather...racist, bigot and male-chauvenist. Hope that's not what it turns out to be!

10. Time to rename our country "The anything for a buck States of America". People that do stuff like this have the moral equivalence of a rapist.

11. It should not surprise us if he was racist, bigoted and male-chauvenist. It was part of that generation. It would serve no purpose to show that now. 12:02 said it - let us remember him as a classic funny man.

Why smear someone for profit?

12. RODNEY DANGERFIELD WAS MY FAVORITE COMEDIAN GROWING UP WATCHING CARSON OR WATCHING ANY TV COMEDIAN. IT WOULD BE A SHAME IF THIS PARASITE FILMER WOULD SHOW SENSITIVE MATERIAL OF RD. SO, I HOPE HIS WIFE GETS AN INJUNCTION TO STOP THE SO-CALLED, "FILM," IN ITS TRACKS. BUT, THEN, AGAIN, AS RD CALLED IT, THE FILM WOULD BE SO APPROPRIATE TO HIS, "I DON'T GET NO RESPECT," ACT.

13. If the man was filming RD with his consent, he (RD) must have meant it to be shown to someone. There must have been an understanding between them, or RD would have had the man removed. It sounds like the wife is going against the deceased wishes. Just sayin.

14.
Where was the wife when the friend took 200 hours of footage while Rodney was in ill health?
That's a lot of hours to be filming someone ill.
