LOS ANGELES - MTV and Dickhouse Productions have been sued by a man who claims his publicity rights were violated when he was mocked on an episode of "Rob Dydrek's Fantasy Factory."
Martin Ellyn, who was featured on an August episode of the reality series, claims he never signed a release or otherwise gave the network permission to use his likeness on TV. But shortly after the episode aired, he received a YouTube link from his nephew showing him "mocked as being a smelly old man, whose awkward gait was also a subject of derision to the stars of the show," according to the complaint, filed Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court.
Ellyn says he has a painful medical condition called spinal stenosis, and the episode caused him to be the subject of derision and suffer emotional distress. Damages are not specified. MTV declined to comment.
