Previous Hollywood executive sues TMZ for $20 million

Ronald Grigg, a solicitor and previous president of Jon Peters Entertainment, filed a claim for defamation in LA Superior Court over a December twenty-four, 2008 report titled Famous Producer Alleges Crime , Burglary , Date Rape. It detailed a legal action Peters had filed against Grigg. The article states that ( Grigg ) committed crimes during his job, and as such, portrays him as a loathsome criminal, the complaint says. When the suit was filed, Grigg was in the middle of a job dispute with Peters and suffered irreparable harm thanks to the statements in the article, he asserts. Grigg claims TMZ did not analyze the problem and include his side of the tale in the article, giving rise to claims for slander and fake light and at least 20,000,000 in damages. But an examination of its report pointed to the fact that it was careful to restate what was said in Peters lawsuit, which is mostly covered under the fair reporting privilege of the first change.
