Why? The headline they used WAS misleading and they may have obtained the video in an underhand way, so why not?

So Kareem Hunt is going to sue TMZ for using a sensationalist headline and the fact that they may have obtained the video illegally? Hell, that's tabloid journalism 101.

Deformation of character regarding that headline?

Do you understand what sensationalism is?

Here, I'll give you a hand.


(especially in journalism) the use of exciting or shocking stories or language at the expense of accuracy, in order to provoke public interest or excitement.
"media sensationalism"

It would only be defamation of character if TMZ published the story without any evidence. As it stands, they indeed have a video that shows Kareem Hunt shoving a woman to the ground and kicking her. I'm sorry that they used an over the top adverb that you don't like to describe what happened, but that isn't illegal.

This is correct.

Er that's RUBBISH, there is no evidence of anyone being "brutalized" on that video, and if there had been, charges would clearly have been filed. Stop being a tmz groupie and get with reality please. THEY LIED and Kareem has a solid argument for deformation of character. FULL STOP.

P.s. the fact that you claim Kareem "shoved her to the ground" just reveals your bias even more. Just pathetic.

You don't think there are KC cops who are Chief fans that wouldn't do the same for the Chiefs front office?

You're a god damn reerun.

Wow - you don't know how the law works.

Was it a clearly a misleading headline? Sensationalist, yes. Misleading, no.

As for how they obtained the video, there was a representative of the hotel who likely sold it to them. The only legal issue in that case is that the employee likely breached his employment contract as the video was the property of the hotel and the employee was not authorized to distribute it.

How the hell was it "not" misleading? Are you blind? Where did he "brutalize" the girl in that video? Please let me know because clearly i must have missed the five punch combo followed by a body slam

The Cleveland police is investigating the obtaining of their police video interview with the victim not the hotel security video TMZ released, at least that's the way I understood it.
