Tony to X17 -- Screw You, Sue You for $20 Mil

Posted Dec 19th 2007 7:42PM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has obtained a lawsuit filed by Tony Parker -- Eva's hubby -- against X17, the photo agency that published reports and text messages alleging that he cheated on Eva Longoria shortly after the couple were married.
Tony and Eva
In the lawsuit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, Parker alleges X17 defamed him, claiming, "X17 had to know that the story was false, or at the very least, it had to have entertained serious doubts about the credibility of its supposed source."

X17 published stories that French model Alexandra Paressant had "an affair with Mr. Eva Longoria and that the two carried on a secret relationship for about two months."

The San Antonio Spur seems particularly pissed that X17 never sought to "verify the information with Mr. Parker, Ms. Longoria, any of their representatives or....anyone else who might have knowledge of the truth or falsity of the allegations."

The suit states, "Tony Parker has never had sexual relations with a woman named Alexandra Paressant."

The suit seeks at least $20 million.

93. How hard is it to find it the chick was at the wedding?

She is a starfu**** and she plays in the big leagues: Ronaldinho and Thierry Henry are international megastars.
Heck, Parker is a step down for her.

She has known/screwed famous people before, so this is absolutely not a stretch for her.
And cheating is a lot more tolerated in public office there than here. The french president used to bang Emmanulle (Sylvia Krystel) and she used to take the presidential plane. Its not like it was a state secret.


Whore-model: same difference.

-------------------

Who are all the retards on the 1st page who want to call in some network because some chick got knoked up?
Are you people living in Iran?
Im surprised some sow hasnt offered to stone the girl for screwing around.

The only people more retarded are the ones who are going to stop to visit a GOSSIP site because of what they said about Eva. Unless you are a 12 year old, girl, you are a retard.

95. The story WAS FAKE.

Anyone who followed the story on X-17 should have known that is was all BS! The photos were of Hana Nitsche. There is no Alex Parrasant. She is a fraud who PRETENDS to know celebrities so stupid gossip rags will pay to get stories from her.

I feel sorry for Tony, Eva and all the other famous people she is terrorzing.

From Celebitchy.com

"We were initially a bit divided as to whether married Tony Parker could be guilty of the hotel romps that were claimed by a French model. Alexandra Paressant went to paparazzi agency X17 with an amusing tale of hooking up with Parker on separate occasions, claiming that he was seeking sex outside his new marriage to Eva Longoria because the petite actress thought sperm was bad for her skin, didn’t want to have sex in front of mirrors, and didn’t like certain sexual positions. Paressant offered four text messages presumably from Parker and her plane ticket to San Antonio as “proof” of their relationship. Parker sued X17 for $20 million, claiming they didn’t do their journalistic duty by failing to report his side of the story and not adequately checking out the woman’s story.

Paressant claimed last year that Brazilian soccer player Ronaldinho performed poorly at the World Cup because he was busy bedding her and playing Playstation late into the night. Ronaldinho also sued her for that claim, and while I initially thought that he had actually dated Paressant the real story is that, like Parker, he’s never even met her. She called Ronaldinho constantly, though, pestering him and threatening suicide. She also seems to not be a real model and to be using another woman’s pictures and passing them off as her own.

Dana Kennedy at The Huffington Post investigated the story and concluded that all of Parressant’s claims about both Parker and Ronaldinho were fabricated. In fact she found that many of the photos on X17 were of German model Hana Nitsche, a second runner up on Germany’s Next Top Model’s second season.

There are two different videos of a woman who is supposedly this Paressant person on X17, and she looks an awful lot like the German model mentioned in the Huffington Post article, Hana Nitsche.

It turns out that all of the videos and photos were of Hana Nitsche, not this Paressant person, who no one has ever seen, and that Paressant tricked Nitsche into recording the videos and sending the photos to X17 in an elaborate ploy. Nitsche told her story to the German press in which she revealed the plot"

X-17 should have done their homework. They were totally lame to post the story without checking the facts.

This woman is as fake as they come and she sounds pretty nuts too, the women in the photos on the X17 site and her MySpace page isn't even her. How long did she think this was going to last? She's getting herself in a lot of trouble and seems pretty unstable. If she's not unstable then she's extremely vindictive.
