Actress sues for $1m over disclosure of real age

[Magneto]

I am not surprised that hasn't happened before now.

Amazon sued in Seattle over revealing actress' age - Yahoo! Movies

IF the website obtained the material from information she provided that was considered to be confidential, I'd side with the actress.

On the other hand, proving they used her personal information could be troublesome.

So she is suing because of how old she is? How is it their fault she's 40? I know that's not the point, but I mean come on! Does she lie about her age to the casting agents?

When I come to power, law suite info will be fully available so the general public can point and laugh at individuals like this.

It isn't the point.

Don't federal laws prohibit an employer from asking your age (prior to hiring / ID)?

I see her as having a legitimate beef if they compromised personal information, as opposed to what was public.

10-1 those companies are sending investigators across the pacific to get a birth certificate and back date some postage.

Hey, if she wants to try to prove her age with me, I'll back her up. I don't see a downside, frankly.

It's not illegal to ask, but it's illegal to discriminate because of age.

It would be interesting to see what the actresses Wikipedia page says.

Let me guess, she was not in her 20's anymore?

And society continues to go down the tubes. How the hell can you sue someone for revealing your age? In fact I think the ones responsible are her parents....they had her too early so I guess she needs to sue them as well.

Yeah, like its not already in all sorts of public information. It won't stick unless they lied about the age.

 

[Ragenarok007]

I smell a publicity stunt. Age is in lots of public records. As long as the age stated was her actual age there is no legal recourse. This is nothing compared to what happened to Clara Bow.

 

[Expat]

What a moron. I hope she has to pay the defendant's costs.

 

[marine2f3]

Sad and pathetic

She needs to quit being a ****ing baby and just get over it. Its because of people like her is why other sue for retarded stuff like hot coffee or becoming fat.

Yep these days you can sue anyone for anything but good luck actually winning.
