Duped by Reality Show, Contestants Sue
Six men who appeared as contestants on a British reality show have hired attorneys to sue the producers and attempt to block Sky broadcasting from putting it on the air. The contestants, who are seen unwittingly kissing and caressing a transsexual male, reportedly plan to accuse the producers of conspiracy to commit sexual assault, defamation, breach of contract and personal injury. According to Britain's Guardian newspaper, lawyers have told Sky that unless the show, titled There's Something About Miriam, is canceled by the end of today (Friday), they will take court action. The newspaper also reported that one of the contestants punched the show's producer when he found out that "Miriam" was a man.
