'Real World' Producers Respond to Tonya Cooley's Lawsuit, Call It 'Completely Baseless'
'Real World' Producers Call BS on Rape Lawsuit
The "Real World" is firing back at Tonya Cooley's lawsuit ... claiming she was raped by a tooth brush during filming ... calling her accusations "completely baseless."
TMZ broke the story ... Tonya filed the suit against MTV, Bunim/Murray Productions, Kenneth Santucci, Evan Starkman and others ... claiming two guys used a tooth brush rather inappropriately on her while she was passed out and cameras rolled during filming of "The Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Ruins."
Cooley claimed producers knew all about the incident and never told her.
A rep for Bunim/Murray, the production company behind the show, tells TMZ they actually "a thorough investigation" into the allegations -- but "found Tonya Cooley's claims to be completely baseless."
Cooley is suing for unspecified damages.
