Viacom Inc. must face a $5 million lawsuit brought by a makeup artist who appeared on MTV’s “The Real World” because the woman may have been intoxicated when she signed away her rights to sue, a judge ruled.
U.S. District Judge Gladys Kessler today denied New York-based Viacom’s request to force Golzar Amirmotazedi into arbitration to settle allegations that her privacy was violated and her reputation harmed in episodes and outtakes of “The Real World” that aired last year.
