Kim Kardashian and
Kanye West sued a co-founder of YouTube on Thursday [Oct. 31] claiming he
violated a confidentiality agreement by posting a video of the couple’s
marriage proposal to his new video-sharing website.
The couple’s
lawsuit states Chad Hurley wasn’t invited to the elaborate Oct. 21 proposal at
San Francisco’s AT&T Park, but was allowed to stay because he signed an
agreement not to post any video or images from the event. West allowed other
cameras to film the event for possible broadcast on E! Entertainment
Television, home to his fiancee’s show “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,”
according to the suit.
Hurley posted a
fuzzy 2 ½ minute long video on his new website MixBit, that showed
West proposing to Kardashian while an orchestra played. The video also showed
the ensuing celebration with Kardashian’s family and invited guests toasting
the newly-engaged couple.
Kardashian and West
are seeking unspecified damages from Hurley and his company, Avos Systems Inc.
“Exclusive rights,
such as those sold by plaintiffs to publication of video of the event, are
particularly valuable,” the lawsuit states. “If people violate these rights …
they are of substantially diminished value”.
A message sent
through MixBit seeking comment from Hurley was not immediately returned.
West proposed to
Kardashian on her 33rd birthday; the couple’s first child North West was born
in June.
The lawsuit was
first reported by celebrity website TMZ.
