Ellis George LLP filed a complaint today in Los Angeles Superior Court on behalf of world renown entertainers Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.  The suit stems from the online posting of an unauthorized video of West’s recent marriage proposal to Kardashian.  According to the suit, the defendant, YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley, “finagled entry into an exclusive event to which he had not been invited, and which involved two people (Kardashian and West) whom Hurley had never before met.”   The suit goes on to allege that Hurley agreed that he would not publish any aspect of the event, yet he immediately breached his promise by posting a video of the event on his new business’s website.  The suit has been covered by, among others, CNN, TMZ, US Weekly, Rolling Stone, and The Hollywood Reporter.  Ellis George attorneys Eric M. George, Russell F. Wolpert, and Ira Bibbero represent Kardashian and West.
