Ryan Seacrest is being sued by a participant in one of his crappy reality shows who claims she was “humiliated” during a taping.
The show, Shahs of Sunset, is described as a “Persian Jersey Shore”. Anyone who signs up to be filmed by a reality show crew should be aware that humiliation is the price of famewhoredom. (Via TMZ)
Ryan Seacrest is being sued by a woman who claims she was “humiliated” in a taping of the new reality show he’s producing called “Shahs of Sunset” … insisting she was “forced against her will” to play the role of the “bad girl.”
The show is being hailed as the “Persian Jersey Shore” — featuring a bunch of young, rich Persians gallivanting around Los Angeles.
But according to a new lawsuit, filed by a woman named Kathy Salem, the show is just as insane and violent as every other reality show in TV … a lesson she claims she learned at a fancy Hollywood party back in July.
Salem claims she signed a waiver before entering the shindig and understood she would appear on the show … but “she did not understand that she might be blind sided and forced against her will to play a demeaning and humiliating role.”
Salem claims when she was inside the party, she was confronted by the stars of the show — who began to bully her and become “verbally abusive” because she was talking to a man who was allegedly engaged.
Salem claims things escalated quickly — and she was attacked by multiple people — one of whom tried to rip her top off and another who threw a cup of water in her face.
Salem claims the show is set to air in February — but she wants a judge to force Ryan to pull any footage in which she appears.
Salem is suing Seacrest, his production company and Bravo — demanding at least $100,000 in damages.
Calls to Seacrest’s people have not been returned.
