Tyra Banks sued by mother of self-proclaimed teen sex addict. Beverly McClendon the mom of a 15-year-old schoolgirl who was shown on “The Tyra banks Show” as a self-described sex addict is filing a lawsiut against the daytime talk TV show host for up to $3 million. The mom states her 15-year-old child was contacted through the TV show after she responded to the show’s on-line call for show guests, then took in a limo, took to to NewYork, put up in a hotel and recorded in an episode of the TV show on sex addicts — all devoid of her mother’s okay. McClendon went so far as to record a missing persons statement while she realized her child was not here.
“It’s like I’m trapped in a dark place with no light shining down, like I’m a prisoner,” Washington announced on the Television show. “I know that I need help for this. … I know it for a fact,” she added.
All of this, moreover the child has as well in no way been diagnosed as a sex addict, says McClendon. Now she is filing a lawsuit against Banks’ TV show along with Warner Bros. Television Group (which is owned, by Time Warner).
Jewel Ciera Washington was shown on the now-defunct program in October 2009. Based on Beverly McClendon’s attorneys, Wanda Jackson along with George Lawson, “the only intent of the Defendants program was to encourage scores in order to improve promotion revenue.”
McClendon’s attorneys claim “both Plaintiffs [McClendon and Washington] have been harmed as well as have received injury … to their fitness and well-being ” as a consequence of the claimed mistakes and alleged slackness by the Television show host and show, its executive producers plus Warner Bros. Entertainment.
The court case filed October eight in U.S. District Court in Atlanta, Georgia, by Beverly McClendon, is claiming an invasion of privacy (the child is a minor), negligence (the show didn’t have go-ahead from the girl’s mom or the labor commissioner, even though she was compensated for her appearance) along with costs to the tune of $3 million. Furthermore written consent and an employment certificate must be obtained prior to a minor can be “employed as a player in a Television production.”
Neither Warner Bros. TV nor Tyra banks, who mostly has something to state, has put a declaration, however a swift look at the week’s Tyra Banks show indicate that mothers who panic that their children might have undergone gay exorcism, or been mixed up in a gal brawl, or dated their best friends ex, or had a traumatic encounter relating female cleanliness might desire to check on their offspring’s situation right now.
