I don't THINK they can put you on TV if you haven't agreed to let them put you on TV. However, I don't know if the lawyers could make any argument about you saw the camera and didn't tell them to go away and therefore implied consent to be filmed.blunozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02917109513028096262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977044224939777967.post-45774410138008047372010-05-28T18:12:15.135-04:002010-05-28T18:12:15.135-04:00I was recently filmed for a supposed up and coming...I was recently filmed for a supposed up and coming reality show on MTV, I did NOT sign a waiver. I got drunk, I DID act like a complete idiot. Now, I am afraid that it will air and my husband will be really upset with me, not to mention I look like an idiot (I don't handle alcohol well)... so if I didn't sign a waiver, they can't put me on TV, right???? I knew they were filming though...MelanieMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05199890400186017923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977044224939777967.post-51442574506437531392010-05-18T02:02:55.934-04:002010-05-18T02:02:55.934-04:00Strange indeed.

It is possible I misread this. It all depends on how you read that first sentence. <br /><br />I read it as, she signed a waiver [to be on reality TV while you're drunk], as in, she signed the waiver BEFORE getting drunk / while sober. In that case, I don't think she has a leg to stand on (in my highly educated legal expertise).<br /><br />You opened my eyes to the fact that I may have misread it. Maybe it meant she signed a waiver [to be on reality TV] while she was drunk. In other words, she was already drunk when she signed the waiver. In that case, I agree with you Hilary, I would agree with her lawsuit if the reality TV show producers found some girl drunk in a bar and got her to sign the waiver while she was drunk so they could put her on TV acting like an idiot.<br /><br />Very interesting. Maybe not so frivolous after all.blunozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02917109513028096262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977044224939777967.post-88305565679254454602010-05-10T13:46:00.025-04:002010-05-10T13:46:00.025-04:00It's the first line in the linked-to article t...It's the first line in the linked-to article that has me wondering in the individual's favor...<br /><br />"If you sign a waiver to be on reality TV while you're drunk, does it count?"<br /><br />I would think that the intent to expose and humiliate the individual is pretty obvious if they worked to get her drunk BEFORE signing the waiver.<br /><br />There are without doubt countless frivolous lawsuits filed daily but not everything is always as cut and dry as it appears. And I have little faith in reality TV producers as behaving scrupulously and above board.<br /><br /><i>"In this case, Amirmotazedi claims she was too inebriated to sign a lawful waiver. "Outtakes from the 'Real World'... show that Plaintiff in fact was not in a position to provide her consent to Defendant portraying her in a false light or disclosing private facts about her," says the complaint."</i> This quote comes from http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/37039008/ns/local_news-washington_dc/Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977044224939777967.post-20513867073600255572010-05-10T11:01:53.505-04:002010-05-10T11:01:53.505-04:00You have got to be kidding me!
