Quote The star of the Syfy movie franchise is accusing the producers of the films of misappropriating her likeness and image “for a commercial purpose without her consent,” including slot machines and alcoholic beverages...She is now suing Asylum Entertainment and SYFY Media Productions for $100 million in damages. Quote the defendants made “millions of dollars in profits … from the marketing, sale, lease, and distribution of Sharknado slot machines bearing the likeness of Plaintiff Tara Reid (https://www.casino-review.co/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/ICRSharknado-696x392.jpg) this is the Tara Reid one (https://www.vegasmessageboard.com/forums/data/attachments/23/23939-98158cfb0ef5fad46e316d5e81c69c4b.jpg) Title: Re: Tara Reid sues Sharknado producers for 100 million Post by: Alex on December 08, 2018, 12:04:56 PM She'll need more than that to buy a part in a decent movie.

If she wins i think the money should be taken from her and put into education tho, in order to try to offset some of the damage to america's intelligence the sharknado movies did.

Title: Re: Tara Reid sues Sharknado producers for 100 million Post by: BoyScoutKevin on December 11, 2018, 01:57:33 PM Not too bright, but what can you expect from someone who makes a series of films called Sharknado. My guess is that at the end of the day both parties will settle for something under $100 million.
Title: Re: Tara Reid sues Sharknado producers for 100 million Post by: Trevor on December 28, 2018, 12:37:01 AM Considering the budget of most Asylum films, I don't think they could pay even a quarter of that $$$ :buggedout:
