Porn star James Deen has blocked the distribution of a documentary that addresses rape allegations against him, according to a lawsuit filed by the film’s director.

According to the suit, Demopoulos was hired by Deen’s company, Seven Sins, to direct the documentary in 2. She shot footage of Deen at the AVN convention in Las Vegas and elsewhere, conducted interviews and gathered archival footage. She was on track to complete a director’s cut in late 2.

The producers screened the second version for Deen on July 3. He had some requests for changes, but his overall reaction appeared to be positive, the suit alleges. However, three months later Deen appeared unannounced at the producer’s Culver City office. The producer was out of state shooting a film, and Deen persuaded a production assistant to turn over a binder of signed releases, Demopoulos claims.
Deen also asked a post- production staffer for the footage from the film, but the staffer recognized him and refused, the suit states, and Deen then walked out with the binder. Without the original releases, Demopoulos says the film cannot be shown at film festivals or aired on Showtime.“This was all captured on security footage,” the suit claims.

Defendant James Deen maliciously refused, and continues to refuse, to return the original releases, thereby hijacking the Picture to the substantial detriment of Plaintiff, as well as that of her Producer and of Showtime.”Two days later, Deen tweeted: “I respect the desire (need) to fight tooth and nail until you have no other options when it’s for something thats right… despite all odds.” Demopoulos perceived this as a threat and an admission that he had taken the binder to prevent the film from being distributed. According to the suit, Deen subsequently told Demopoulos that he owns the production company and can control the release of the film.“These are my binders,” Deen said in an email, according to the suit. They will stay with me. I also will be picking up copies of the footage as soon as the[y] are able to transport it onto drives.”Demopolous alleges she originally thought the project would take only one year, and was not paid for the additional work required after the rape allegations surfaced.
She also says she accepted a lower rate because Showtime had agreed to air the film. Demopolous accuses Deen of interfering with her relationship with Showtime. Deen’s attorney declined to comment on the suit.
NBA Draft 2. 01. 7 - Fans should remember son Lonzo Ball is no La. Var. NEW YORK - - Magic Johnson and the Los Angeles Lakers made it official at 7: 4.
ET Thursday, when Showtime met 'Zotime with the second pick of the NBA draft. Lonzo Ball was selected as a point guard by the greatest point guard of all, and wouldn't you know it, he walked onto the stage without his stage dad in tow. La. Var Ball long ago predicted this night would come. Actually, he long ago predicted his oldest of three boys would be drafted in Markelle Fultz's spot, the No.
But who's keeping track? From Manhattan to Brooklyn, from the Grand Hyatt lobby to the floor of the Barclays Center, La. Var led his oversize entourage on a high- voltage trip around the big city while doing nothing to temper his standing as the most polarizing face and voice in basketball, college or pro.
And while doing nothing to lighten the alleged load he has planted squarely on his son's shoulders. Markelle Fultz and Lonzo Ball went No.
No. 2 on a wild NBA draft night in Brooklyn.• Draft recap: All 6. Social buzz• Sixers take Markelle Fultz No. Lonzo Ball heads to Lakers at No.

Var and, by extension, on Lonzo, too, fans should remember that the son is not the father, and that the NBA is always best served when a visionary playmaker such as Lonzo walks through its doors."I'm truly blessed to be able to play for my hometown," Lonzo said, "and I can't wait to get on the court."Out in Los Angeles, Lonzo will play a beautiful game for the beautiful people. He will play the game that Magic Johnson and Larry Bird played. The game that Jason Kidd and Steve Nash played. The game that Le. Bron James prefers to play.
Ball movement, with a flair, is the best product the NBA can offer, and Lonzo is selling that product all week. In his one- and- done year at UCLA, while his old man provided running commentary from a bullhorn, Lonzo was the embodiment of every virtue in John Wooden's cherished pyramid. He delivered more assists in a single season (2.
Bruin before him, and he allowed T. J. Leaf and Bryce Alford to score more points than he did. Now the kid gets to learn from Johnson, the one and only."Obviously, he's the best point guard to ever play," Lonzo said of the Lakers' president of basketball operations, "so I'm looking to go in there and just learn from day one."There's never going to be another Magic Johnson, so I'm trying to be myself. But if I can come halfway short of him, you know it's going to be good."Once more, with feeling, the son is not the father.
Long before he predicted that Lonzo would lead the Lakers to the playoffs in his rookie year, La. Var said his kid had better athleticism and perimeter aim than Johnson. Lonzo? He said he hopes to be half the player his boss was back in the day. Truth is, Lonzo is Magic minus 3 inches in height and minus the electric personality. La. Var might have realized early on that his son lacked that Hollywood sizzle and decided to make up for it times 5. So be it. People say La.
Var is destined to ruin his kid. People said the same thing about Richard Williams when he decided to raise Serena and Venus Williams his way straight out of Compton, instead of the way academy coaches and governing- body elders wanted them raised. At last count, without even tallying up their doubles victories, Serena and Venus won a combined 3. Grand Slam titles. The Lakers hope No. Lonzo Ball can help turn around the franchise. AP Photo/Frank Franklin IIHow many titles will Lonzo win? La. Var said his kid can top Michael Jordan's six (of course he said that), but it all depends on whether Johnson and his general manager, Rob Pelinka, can recreate Showtime by putting the likes of 2.
James and Paul George around him. Isiah Thomas, best little man to ever play the game, recently spent a day with Lonzo for NBA TV and came away more impressed with Lonzo's disposition than his step- back, corkscrew jumper. Given Ball's even temperament, work ethic and game- day IQ, Thomas saw the UCLA playmaker as the safest pick in the draft."This is a real basketball player," Thomas told ESPN. He's a pass- first, shoot- second guy, but he can shoot. He's not a pass- first- because- I- can't- shoot guy. I'm not saying he's going to dominate the NBA, but he's definitely going to help your team win a lot of games."More people play on ESPN than anywhere else.

The Isiah- Magic rivalry was only 2 degrees cooler than the smoldering Bird- Magic rivalry, so it was fitting to ask Thomas if Ball could end up being a poor man's version of Johnson. Or perhaps something even better."I will say Lonzo has Magic's brain," Thomas said. As a student of the game and knowing how to get his teammates involved and understanding how to motivate his teammates to get the best out of them, Lonzo did that in high school and college, and I don't see that changing now. When you get people who are willing to help you look better and want the best for you and not necessarily what's best for themselves, that's what building a team is all about.
And I've never heard selfishness mentioned in the same sentence with Lonzo Ball."He'll be a superstar, but with him, the criteria for superstar - - that box will have to be altered a bit. If your criteria for a superstar is you've got to score 3. Kevin Durant or Le. Bron James, those are rare people we won't see for another 3.
But I believe Ball will be a superstar in his own way."The selfless way. The only way to turn basketball into ballet. Watch The Wedding Video Mediafire.
Bob Cousy, six- time NBA champ with the Boston Celtics, was the first marquee player to embrace this concept. Cousy was the founding father of the no- look pass, and whenever he got carried away and threw one into the stands, old- school reporters would go running to his curmudgeon of a coach, Red Auerbach. They would ask Auerbach if he would start forcing Cousy to throw conventional chest passes, preferably with two hands and a bounce."I don't give a s- -- how he does it," Auerbach would tell them, "as long as it gets to the target."Cousy loved that answer. It was Red's way of saying, 'Keep doing it, the fans love it,'" he said. At 8. 8, Cousy has seen the game evolve a dozen times over, and frankly, he's sick and tired of watching teams run the high pick- and- roll with shooters stationed in the corner.
But one central truth about the sport has remained untouched: A great passer takes the sport places no other player can. Editor's Picks. Lonzo Ball's ZO2 sneakers are already being offered for sale in purple and gold on the company's website Thursday night. It didn't take long for NBA players to throw shade on the newest Laker. First up: Sixers stars Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons.

And I think you need a point guard who comes over half court thinking, 'I have to do something wonderful for the other four guys,' and not, 'I have to do something wonderful for myself.'"Not many people have exceptional passing skills, but when you have that, you can do a lot of damage to the defense. You can talk about the 3- pointer and the slam dunk, but that wears off. Creative passing never does."Lonzo is the ultimate creator of this draft, not to mention a prospect who already carries himself like a pro. Thursday night, after Lonzo made his way onto the draft stage (alone) wearing a purple Lakers cap and a black Big Baller Brand bow tie, the kid showed he's more composed than many older figures around him.
