Verne “Mini Me” Troyer plans to lawsuit against his sex tape co-star, Ranae Shrider, for allegedly beating him and causing him emotional distress.
Troyer’s lawyer told TMZ that Ranae once picked a lock on his door, pushed away a scooter that was blocking it, and then threw him to the floor. The lawyer released this statement,
“When you pick up a 2′8″ human being and throw him to the floor, it hurts.”
In the lawsuit, which will be filed in Federal court any moment, Troyer is accusing Shrider of intentional infliction of emotional distress and battery.
What others said:
Dlisted says, “Remember how we’re all riding on that bus to hell together? Well, I’ve just being upgraded to first-class air for laughing so hard at the image of Mini-Me getting thrown. Midget tossing!”
“I feel like I have no privacy. Just because people are seeing something that was meant to be between me and her. That’s the biggest reason that I’m, you know, trying to stop the tape from being released.
I’ve been, for the past two weeks, three weeks probably, spending a lot of money to fight this. I have my lawyer, and he’s doing a great job.
I broke up with her in the middle of June; it was something probably to do with that. It was basically when she decided to give the tape away. I highly doubt that she thought that would get me back with her. Ransom or something.”
If all of this isn’t bad enough, the woman still lives in his house! Can you say psycho?
“She’s still in the house. I saw her when I left today, and she was calling me names and stuff…so I can’t get away from it.”
I think he should call the police and have her removed from the house — then sue her!

If you ever wanted to see Mini Me having sex, a judge says it’s okay:
The woman in a sex tape featuring Verne Troyer — best known for his role in the “Austin Powers” movies — says she allowed celebrity Web site TMZ to broadcast snippets of the tape. Troyer’s ex-girlfriend, Ranae Shrider, signed a declaration filed in federal court in Los Angeles stating the tape was created with her video camera. Her statement prompted a judge to allow TMZ to reinstate a post featuring snippets of the tape.
The judge had temporarily barred TMZ from showing or broadcasting any portion of the tape on its Web site or TV show. The post was restored by Tuesday evening.
The judge has still barred a porn distributor named in a $20 million lawsuit filed by Troyer from distributing or taking orders for the 50-minute tape.
Troyer starred as Mini Me in two “Austin Powers” movies. His lawsuit alleged the tape was stolen. Shrider’s statement says she believes she also owns the tape, but so far has only given permission to TMZ to air it.
This gives more credibility to Justice Potter Stewart’s famous line about pornography (actually, obscenity, if you want to be technical about it): “I know it when I see it.” Still, there are some things I don’t want to see. This may just top the list.
The latter, the June 25th report that launched the suit in question, makes light of the whole matter,
Yes, that’s Mini-Me Verne Troyer in a sex tape shot with his former live-in girlfriend at the couple’s apartment. A third party has snatched up the tape and although no deal has been made, we hear dealer Kevin Blatt, who brokered the deal for Paris’ video, is entertaining a $100k offer from SugarDVD to distribute the nastiness. We would have thought the tape was worth at least ONE BILLION DOLLARS.
You can also view the actual video there, if you must. Gone Hollywood wouldn’t do that to you!

The humorous comments are abound. Could anyone watch this tape and actually be turned on by it? I would really like to know.
