but how does the "Girls Gone Wild" guy around it?
He just got successfully sued for... something. Not getting release forms?
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I suspect it involves a ton of out-of-court settlements.
Ah. Ok. Like I said, I have no idea on how often/how successful those lawsuits have been.
Contracts signed while plastered still hold, right?I took business law yonks ago, but I'm pretty sure I learned then that they don't. The problem comes in proving you were impaired at the time you signed, though.

Well, if you could prove that you only go wild when plastered....

"Of course I was impaired when I signed it! My top is off! My cooter's showing! I wouldn't do that unless I was drunk as hell!"
I also suspect that his lawyers are very very sleazy and very very experienced. (And that most 18 year old girls would rather just take the money than appear in court and admit that they were dumb enough to sign onto a GGW video, drunk or not.)
I think you also have to reneg on the contract ASAP. I'm not sure that 'after a film embarrasses you' is AS enough.
Now Aimee - it all depends on that person's "no go zones".
I know someone sued Joe Francis, but I think he won. Not clear on how drunk you have to be before you can get out of a contract.
We should totes do the pop culture thing!
