Celebrity Justice
Verne Troyer Sues TMZ

Verne TroyerVerne Troyer has filed a $20 million lawsuit, claiming TMZ violated his rights by publishing and airing portions of his sex tape.

In the suit, filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in downtown L.A., Troyer claims TMZ violated his privacy rights and infringed on his copyright and trademark by running portions of the tape on TMZ TV and TMZ.com. He also alleges TMZ violated his right of publicity and misappropriated his name and likeness.

Troyer says the tape was stolen and ended up in the hands of Kevin Blatt, the guy who distributed "One Night in Paris." Blatt is also named as a defendant.

In addition to damages, Troyer wants an injunction prohibiting further dissemination of the video.

Calls to TMZ were not returned.

52. He should be paying us for sleepless nights, for making us puke, and for scarring us for life with these disturbing images. The tape is out there. Get over it!!

53. I can see where he would be mad, i can see where he would feel violated. but has he not seen what happends when celebs make sex tapes and don't lock them up in like a security box? i know he should not have to do this but when one's life is in a fish bowl and these days things like that get stolen. he should try to cash in on the tapes rather than waste money on a law suit that he won't win.

58. Well thi is just a tad sad. If anyone will let someone else tape an intimate moment, well then, you were asking for it. Vern is not a typical celeb, he has many issues and he can't deal. VERN? I am sorry if your a little person, but you are not doing justice to little people.
