It’s become something of a Hollywood staple—need a career boost, how about starring in a sex tape? But the tape celebrity gossip site TMZ.com streamed last week featuring Mini Me actor Verne Troyer crosses the line, says a federal judge, who ordered the Website to remove clips of the video.
Troyer filed a $20 million suit against the Website and video promoter Kevin Blatt, who was the man behind circulating Paris Hilton’s bedroom romp, 1 Night in Paris.
Troyer claims the video footage of him having sex with then girlfriend Renae Schrider was stolen from his home and was “never intended… to be shown to the public,” reports Trans World News.
On Wednesday, TMZ showed clips from the tape on its TV show and streamed further footage on its Website. Blatt is reported to be entertaining a $100,000 distribution deal from adult distributor Sugar-DVD.
Troyer rose to fame playing Mini Me in the Austin Powers series. On its Website, Sugar-DVD touted being in possession of “one of the most shocking and controversial celebrity sex tapes to date," but said they would only release the tape with Troyer’s consent, according to the LA Times.
