Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Can Sue Over Engagement Footage

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's lawsuit over their leaked engagement footage can go ahead, a judge has ruled.

The couple were taking legal action against YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley for posting a 150-second video of the rapper's lavish proposal at San Francisco's AT&T Park stadium, but the tech entrepreneur had sought for the case to be dismissed on constitutional grounds, claiming it violated his rights to free speech. He also argued he wasn't informed he wasn't allowed to film or distribute the footage but a judge ruled yesterday that the word "CONFIDENTIALITY" could be seen clearly on a document he signed when entering the stadium.

And Chad could also face fraud charges, website TMZ reports, as the judge agreed with Kim and Kanye's view that his "wrangling" over the case has been "improper."

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Are Suing YouTube Co-Founder

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Engagements, Legal Issues,

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are suing YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley.

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star and the rapper claim the billionaire "manipulated" his way into AT&T Park in San Francisco and released unauthorized footage of the moment the "New Slaves" hitmaker proposed to her on her 33rd birthday on October 21.

According to court documents, obtained by gossip website TMZ.com, the couple are accusing Hurley of scheming to post the video of the intimate moment on his new Internet venture, MixBit. Their lawyer Eric George also trashes the entrepreneur, claiming Hurley is desperate to find a "second act" because two of his other businesses have flopped since he sold YouTube for $1.65 billion.

It was previously reported that Kanye invited Kim's close family and friends, along with several well known Silicon Valley founders to watch his surprise proposal, but Hurley wasn't invited and they only let him stay after he signed a confidentiality agreement. They attached a picture of him holding the agreement to the lawsuit, which also states, "Hurley proceeded to try to turn the event into one starring himself, broadcasting the images he knew were the exclusive property rights of someone else."
