(CelebNMusic247-News) Kim and Kanye Suing Over Proposal Footage Leak
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are suing a co-founder of YouTube on Thursday claiming he violated a confidentiality agreement by posting the proposal video on his video-sharing website
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are suing the man who leaked the video footage of the proposal that was set to air on KUWTK, but a co-founder of YouTube, Chad Hurley, violated a confidentiality agreement by leaking the video on his new video-sharing website.
To recap, Kanye West proposed to Kardashian on her 33rd birthday, Monday October 21 at AT&T Park in San Francisco. It was said the KUWTK film crew was there filming for the series, but rumor has it that the approval of footage is up to Ye. The couple celebrated their first child North West back in June and are heard to be working on number two already.
Here’s the drop:
The couple’s lawsuit states Chad Hurley wasn’t invited to the elaborate Oct. 21 proposal at San Francisco’s AT&T Park, but was allowed to stay because he signed an agreement not to post any video or images from the event. West allowed other cameras to film the event for possible broadcast on E! Entertainment Television, home to his fiancee’s show “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” according to the suit.
Hurley posted a fuzzy 2 ½ minute long video on his new website MixBit, that showed West proposing to Kardashian while an orchestra played. The video also showed the ensuing celebration with Kardashian’s family and invited guests toasting the newly-engaged couple.
Kardashian and West are seeking unspecified damages from Hurley and his company, Avos Systems Inc.
The lawsuit states:
“Exclusive rights, such as those sold by plaintiffs to publication of video of the event, are particularly valuable.”
“If people violate these rights … they are of substantially diminished value.”
A message sent through MixBit seeking comment from Hurley was not immediately returned.
