KimYe is playing hardball. Judge Denies YouTube Founder’s Motion To Dismiss Lawsuit If these two are suing over someone leaking the proposal video, we can only imagine what will happen if someone leaks the wedding footage. Someone might lose a leg. According to Radar Online: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are one step closer to a multi-million-dollar pay day. RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that a judge has denied YouTube founder Chad Hurley‘s last-ditch attempt to get the couple’s lawsuit against him dismissed before going to trial. Kardashian and West are suing Hurley for leaking a video of their engagement on his website, Mixbit, allegedly in violation of a contract he signed at the event. Hurley had filed a motion to strike the suit under California’s anti-SLAPP statutes, but according to court documents filed on March 18 and obtained by Radar, Judge Ruth Kwan denied that request, as well as his request for attorney’s fees. The motion to strike the suit was ultimately denied on the grounds that Hurley “benefitted from” posting West and Kardashian’s engagement video, “at [Kanye and Kim’s] expense,” the documents state. The couple have argued that Hurley’s leak endangered their previously established agreements to exclusively license footage of the event, and to air it on Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Do you think the YouTube founder stands a chance in court?
