Mini-Me Sex Tape Spawns Huge Lawsuit
Verne Troyer, who portrayed Mini-Me in the Austin Powers movies, has sued a porn distributor, a notorious producer and the operators of a gossip website for more than $20 million after a stolen sex tape showing the actor was posted online.
Troyer, who stands 2 feet, 8 inches tall, is claiming invasion of privacy and breach of copyright, according to The Telegraph.
Also named in the lawsuit, which was filed Thursday in U.S. District Cot in Los Angeles, was producer Kevin Blatt, promoter of the infamous Paris Hilton sex tape, according to Reuters.
Porn distributor SugarDVD confirms the tape's existence in a statement on its website, but doesn't address the lawsuit:
"SugarDVD has confirmed the existence of one of the most shocking and controversial celebrity sex tapes to date! A third party has approached SugarDVD with a full-length 50 minute video of Mini-Me in bed with a hot, young, FULL SIZED sexy woman. The tape includes oral sex, a close-up of Verne's "goldmember", and several shots of Verne looking directly into the camera!
