Case 2:18-cv-10171 Document 1 Filed 12/06/18 Page 4 of 12 Page ID #:4

1 FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL CLAIMS


2 12. The original Sharknado movie was released in 2013 followed by five
3 sequels. The most recent, Sharknado 6 was released in August of 2018. Plaintiff Tara
4 Reid has played the role of April Wexler in each of the films, all of which have been
5 produced by Defendant Asylum Entertainment, LLC. and published by SYFY Media
6 Productions, LLC.
7 13. Due to the success of the Sharknado series, Plaintiffs are informed and
8 believe that sometime following the release of Sharknado 5 in 2017, Defendants
9 Asylum and Syfy entered into marketing agreements with Defendant Aristocrat, a
10 manufacturer of slot machines and video gambling products, to manufacture
11 Sharknado video slot machines. These slot machines prominently feature the
12 likeness of Plaintiff. Attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and made a part hereof by
13 reference is a depiction of Plaintiff Tara Reid on a Sharknado slot machine.
14 14. Plaintiffs are informed and believe that Defendant Aristocrat has
15 manufactured a large number of Sharknado slot machines, the exact number of which
16 is not presently known, which bear the likeness of Tara Reid and has sold, leased,
17 licensed, and distributed them to casinos and gaming establishments in the United
18 States as well as foreign countries.
19 15. Plaintiffs are informed and believe that Defendants Asylum, SyFy, and
20 Aristocrat have realized millions of dollars in profits, the exact amount of which is
21 not presently known by Plaintiffs, from the marketing, sale, lease, and distribution of
22 Sharknado slot machines bearing the likeness of Plaintiff Tara Reid.
23 16. On or about November 22, 2016, Plaintiffs entered into the “Performer
24 Engagement Agreement,” for the Sharknado 5 film. A true and correct copy of
25 which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2. The parties to the agreement are “Shamrocky,
26 LLC. and Plaintiffs Hi Happy Films and Tara Reid. Plaintiffs are informed and
27 believe that “Shamrocky, LLC.” is a fictitious entity and a front for Defendant
28 Asylum, the actual producer. Plaintiffs are also informed and believe that the name
4
Complaint
Case 2:18-cv-10171 Document 1 Filed 12/06/18 Page 5 of 12 Page ID #:5

1 of the film “Silver Shamrock” is also a false name used for the purpose of concealing
2 the fact that Sharknado 5 was the actual movie.
3 17. The “Performer Engagement Agreement” contains a clause at
4 paragraph 11 which provides in pertinent part: “However, in no event shall
5 Performer’s likeness be used for any merchandising in association with alcohol,
6 tobacco, gambling, hygiene, or sexual products without Performer’s prior written
7 approval.” Plaintiffs have never approved the use of Tara Reid’s likeness on the
8 Sharknado slot machines, nor was such approval ever requested by any of the
9 defendants.
10 18. On or about January 24, 2018, Plaintiffs entered into the “Performer
11 Engagement Agreement,” for the Sharknado 6 film. A true and correct copy of
12 which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3. The parties to the agreement are “Fells Point,
13 LLC. and Plaintiffs Hi Happy Films and Tara Reid. Plaintiffs are informed and
14 believe that “Fells Point, LLC.” was FTB forfeited on January 24, 2018 and did not
15 have the legal capacity to do business in California and enter into contracts.
16 Accordingly, said “Performer Engagement Agreement” is voidable at the option of
17 Plaintiffs, who hereby exercise the option to void the agreement. Exhibit 3 contains
18 the identical clause in paragraph 11 as Exhibit 2, requiring the prior written approval
19 of Plaintiffs for her likeness to be used in conjunction with the marketing of alcohol,
20 tobacco, gambling, hygiene, or sexual products.
21 19. On February 9, 2018 Fells Point Productions, LLC. was registered with
22 the California Secretary of State. Plaintiffs on information and belief allege that Fells
23 Point Productions, LLC. at the time of its formation was controlled by the same
24 principals of the FTB forfeited Fells Point, LLC. and at some point in time thereafter
25 assigned the agreement and the production duties to Defendant Asylum. Plaintiffs
26 further allege the movie name “Fells Point” is a fictitious name used for the purpose
27 of concealing the true name Sharknado 6. To the extent that Defendant Fells Point
28 Productions, LLC. has assigned a voidable contract to Asylum, Plaintiffs allege that
5
Complaint
Case 2:18-cv-10171 Document 1 Filed 12/06/18 Page 6 of 12 Page ID #:6

1 their option to void the agreement is enforceable as to Defendants Asylum and SyFy.
2 Plaintiffs allege that they are entitled to all marketing revenue realized
3 by Defendants Asylum and SyFy from the sale of all merchandise related to the
4 Sharknado 6 film in which Plaintiff’s likeness is utilized, due to agreement having
5 been rendered void. Plaintiffs are presently unaware of the exact amount of such
6 revenue but estimate that it is several million dollars.
7 20. Plaintiffs are further informed and believe that sometime following the
8 release of Sharknado 5 in 2017, Defendants Asylum and Syfy entered into marketing
9 and/or licensing agreements with a foreign beer manufacturer, the Northern Monk
10 Brewing Co., Ltd. in the United Kingdom for the production and sale of Sharknado
11 beer. A true and correct depiction of the Sharknado beer can which prominently
12 features Plaintiff’s likeness is attached hereto as Exhibit 4 and made a part hereof by
13 reference.
14 21. Plaintiffs allege that at no time did they approve the use of Tara Reid’s
15 likeness for use on the Sharknado beer cans, nor was such approval ever requested.
16 Plaintiffs are informed and believe that Defendants Asylum, and SyFy, have realized
17 millions of dollars in profits, the exact amount of which is not presently known, from
18 falsely representing to the Northern Monk Co. that they had the rights to license
19 Plaintiff’s likeness for use in conjunction with the sale of beer products and in fact
20 did falsely licenses Plaintiff’s likeness.

22 COUNT I
23 FALSE ENDORSEMENT AND MISAPPROPRIATION OF
24 LIKENESS 15 U.S.C. SECTION 1125(a)
25 21. Plaintiff Tara Reid incorporates by reference the allegations contained
26 in paragraphs 1 through 20 of this Complaint as if fully set forth herein. This cause
27 of action is asserted against all defendants.
28 22. Plaintiff Tara Reid alleges that a celebrity whose endorsement of a
6
Complaint
Case 2:18-cv-10171 Document 1 Filed 12/06/18 Page 7 of 12 Page ID #:7

1 product is implied through the imitation of a distinctive attribute of the celebrity’s


2 identity has standing to sue for false endorsement under the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C.
3 section 1125(a).
4 23. Plaintiff alleges that defendants and each of them without her
5 knowledge and prior written consent misappropriated her likeness for the
6 commercial purpose of endorsing by implication gambling products and alcoholic
7 beverages.
8 24. By reason of the foregoing, Defendants’ use of the likeness and any
9 images of Plaintiff Tara Reid on the aforementioned slot machines and beer cans is
10 deceptive and likely to cause consumer confusion as to the sponsorship or affiliation
11 between those products and Plaintiff Tara Reid, who did not and would not endorse
12 such products. The foregoing conduct of Defendants further constitutes a false
13 designation of origin in violation of 15 U.S.C. section 1125(a).
14 25. Upon information and belief, if not preliminarily and permanently
15 enjoined by this Court, Defendants will continue to manufacture, distribute, market,
16 and profit from gambling and alcoholic beverage products that wrongfully bear
17 Plaintiff’s likeness and in violation of her rights under the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C.
18 1125(a). Plaintiff alleges that she has no adequate remedy at law.
19 26. Plaintiff Tara Reid also seeks monetary damages and attorneys’ fees for
20 Defendants’ willful and wrongful use of her likeness, including but not limited to
21 disgorgement of all revenues earned from the licensing, marketing, sale, lease, or
22 distribution of the Sharknado slot machines and beer cans bearing Plaintiff’s
23 likeness.
24 COUNT II
25 COMMON LAW WRONGFUL APPROPRIATION
26 OF LIKENESS
27 27. Plaintiff Tara Reid incorporates by reference the allegations contained
28 in paragraphs 1 through 20 of this Complaint as if fully set forth herein. This cause
7
Complaint
Case 2:18-cv-10171 Document 1 Filed 12/06/18 Page 8 of 12 Page ID #:8

1 of action is asserted against all defendants.


2 28. This cause of action under California state common law is separate and
3 independent of the federally-based cause of action previously set forth herein, but it
4 is between the same parties and is based on the same operative facts as set forth in
5 the prior cause of action; this Court accordingly has supplemental jurisdiction over
6 said claim pursuant to 28 U.S.C. section 1367(a).
7 29. Plaintiff Tara Reid alleges that Defendants and each of them used and
8 exploited her image and likeness for the promotion of gambling products and
9 alcoholic beverages. Plaintiff Tara Reid did not consent to this use of her likeness or
10 identity and that defendants and each of them gained a commercial benefit by using
11 her likeness or identity.
12 30. As a direct and legal result of the actions of defendants and each of them
13 Plaintiff Tara Reid has suffered economic and non economic damages in an amount
14 that will be shown at time of trial according to proof.
15 31. Plaintiff alleges that the wrongful appropriation of her likeness and
16 identity was intentional and with the objective of exploiting her. Defendants had
17 actual knowledge that they were required to first obtain her written consent before
18 they could use her likeness on gambling and alcohol products because of the
19 provision in paragraph 11 of the “Performer Engagement Agreements,” but refused
20 to do so in utter disregard for her rights under the law. As such, the actions of the
21 Defendants were malicious and oppressive and justify an award of punitive and
22 exemplary damages in an amount sufficiently large to set a public example of
23 deterrence, and in an amount no less than $100,000,000.00
24

25 COUNT III
26 COMMON LAW UNFAIR COMPETITION
27 32. Plaintiff Tara Reid incorporates by reference the allegations contained
28 in paragraphs 1 through 20 of this Complaint as if fully set forth herein. This cause
8
Complaint
Case 2:18-cv-10171 Document 1 Filed 12/06/18 Page 9 of 12 Page ID #:9

1 of action is asserted against all defendants.


2 33. This cause of action under California state common law is separate and
3 independent of the federally-based first cause of action previously set forth herein,
4 but it is between the same parties and is based on the same operative facts as set forth
5 in the prior cause of action; this Court accordingly has supplemental jurisdiction over
6 said claim pursuant to 28 U.S.C. section 1367(a).
7 34. As set forth above, Plaintiff is a famous actress who derives economic
8 value from her identity and likeness, which is recognizable worldwide.
9 35. The use of Tara Reid’s likeness without her permission by Defendants
10 in connection with the marketing of gambling products and beer has caused and is
11 likely to cause confusion among consumers as to the source of the products, with
12 consumers associating the products as being endorsed or promoted by Plaintiff, so as
13 to unfairly compete with Plaintiff, by misusing her likeness and identity in a manner
14 that is inimical to her interest.
15 36. Upon information and belief, unless preliminarily and permanently
16 enjoined by this Court, Defendants will continue their aforesaid willful and
17 deliberate misappropriation of Plaintiff’s likeness. Plaintiff has no adequate remedy
18 at law.
19

20 COUNT IV
21 VIOLATION OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE
22 SECTION 3344
23 37. Plaintiff Tara Reid incorporates by reference the allegations contained
24 in paragraphs 1 through 20 of this Complaint as if fully set forth herein. This Cause
25 of action is asserted against all Defendants.
26 38. This cause of action under California state common law is separate and
27 independent of the federally-based first cause of action previously set forth herein,
28 but it is between the same parties and is based on the same operative facts as set forth
9
Complaint
Case 2:18-cv-10171 Document 1 Filed 12/06/18 Page 10 of 12 Page ID #:10

1 in the prior cause of action; this Court accordingly has supplemental jurisdiction over
2 said claim pursuant to 28 U.S.C. section 1367(a).
3 39. Defendants have appropriated Plaintiff’s famous likeness in connection
4 with the marketing of gambling and alcoholic beverage products, thereby knowingly
5 using her likeness for a commercial purpose.
6 40. Pursuant to California Civil Code section 3344(a) Plaintiff is entitled to
7 recover all profits realized by the Defendants in an amount that will be shown at time
8 of trial together with attorney fees, and punitive damages, in an amount sufficiently
9 large to set a public example of deterrence and in an amount no less than
10 $100,000,000.00.
11

12 COUNT IV
13 BREACH OF WRITTEN CONTRACTS
14 41. Plaintiffs Tara Reid and Hi Happy Films incorporates by reference the
15 allegations contained in paragraphs 1 through 20 of this Complaint as if fully set
16 forth herein. This cause of action is asserted against Defendants Asylum, SyFy, Fells
17 Point, LLC., Fells Point Productions, LLC., and Shamrocky, LLC.
18 42. This cause of action under California state common law is separate and
19 independent of the federally-based first cause of action previously set forth herein,
20 but it is between the same parties and is based on the same operative facts as set forth
21 in the prior cause of action; this Court accordingly has supplemental jurisdiction over
22 said claim pursuant to 28 U.S.C. section 1367(a).
23 43. Plaintiffs allege that at all relevant times there existed written contracts
24 manifested by Exhibits 1 and 3, true and correct copies of which are attached and
25 incorporated herein by reference.
26 44. The agreements contain a provision at paragraph 11 which states in
27 pertinent part: “However, in no event shall Performer’s likeness be used for any
28 merchandising in association with alcohol, tobacco, gambling, hygiene, or sexual
10
Complaint
Case 2:18-cv-10171 Document 1 Filed 12/06/18 Page 11 of 12 Page ID #:11

1 products without Performer’s prior written approval.” Plaintiffs have never approved
2 the use of Tara Reid’s likeness on the Sharknado slot machines, Sharknado beer, nor
3 was such approval ever requested by any of the defendants.
4 45. Defendants breached their contractual obligations to Plaintiffs by selling
5 or licensing the right to publish Plaintiff’s likeness of slot machines and beer cans
6 without first obtaining Plaintiff Tara Reid’s written consent.
7 46. As a direct and legal result of the breach of contract by the Defendants
8 against whom this cause of action is asserted, Plaintiffs have sustained economic and
9 consequential damages in an amount that has not been fully ascertained, but for
10 which leave to amend this Complaint will be requested when ascertained.
11

12 WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs pray for judgment as follows:


13 1. For monetary damages as will be shown at time of trial;
14 2. For appropriate preliminary and permanent injunctive relief;
15 3. For punitive and exemplary damages on the Second and Fourth Claims
16 for Relief in an amount no less than $100,000,000.00
17 4. For an award of attorney fees, costs and expenses in this action pursuant
18 to the Lanham Act and California Civil Code section 3344(a);

21 deem just and proper.

suspended during all periods (a) with written notice, that Performer does not render
material services hereunder because of illness, incapacity, or material default; (b)

action, or any other unexpected or disruptive event sufficient to excuse performance
of this Agreement as a matter of law), or the death, illness or incapacity of a principal
member of the cast. All dates herein set forth or provided for shall be postponed for a
period equivalent to the period of such event. If any matter referred to in (a), other

continue for 2 weeks or more, Performer may render services for others during the
continuance of such suspension, subject to immediate recall on 72 hours notice on the
termination of such suspension. There shall be no selective

of Performer's credit (if any) shall be determined in Producer's sole discretion. In all
third party licensing and distribution agreements regarding the Picture, Producer shall
require that such third party comply with all Producer's credit obligations regarding
Performer. In the event that any such third party agreement has been previously
executed and does not include such requirement, Producer shall notify such third
party in writing of Producer's credit obligations herein regarding Performer.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no casual or inadvertent failure to comply with the
provisions of this Paragraph or failure by any third parties to comply with their
agreements with Producer shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement by
Producer provided Producer shall use reasonable efforts, other than the payment of
money, to prospectively cure any such failure upon written notice from Performer.
Case 2:18-cv-10171 Document 1-1 Filed 12/06/18 Page 5 of 13 Page ID #:17

9.1. Upon condition that Performer appears in the Picture, Producer shall also give
Performer on-screen credit in the main titles that is the same size, duration, and
placement as Ian Ziering's Co-Executive Producer credit as follows: "Co-

prospectively cure any such failure upon written notice from Performer.

10. GRANT OF RIGHTS, The results and proceeds of Performer's services hereunder

transfers, sets over and grants to Producer all rights of every kind and nature
throughout the world and in perpetuity in and to all results and proceeds of

any and all media, including, but not limited to, audio recordings (in any
configuration) containing any material derived from the Picture, including, without
limitation, all or any part of the soundtrack of the Picture, publications, merchandise
(in-character only) and commercial tie-ups. If any such soundtrack, publication, or
merchandise generates income to Producer, Performer shall be entitled to ten percent
(10%) of Producer's gross share if the product license uses Lender's image
exclusively and two and one half percent (2.5%) if the product uses Lender's image
in addition to other performers who also share in product license royalties actually
paid. Producer shall provide Performer with statements and payment annually and
only in the event that royalties are due Performer. For avoidance of doubt, if
$100,000 is paid to Producer and Lender is the only person for which merchandising
is done, then Lender would receive $10,000. Or, if Producer receives $100,000 and
Lender appears with one other actor that is receiving 2.5%, and that actor is paid
$2500, then Lender shall receive a reduction to $7,500. Or, if Producer receives
$100,000 and Lender appears with two other actors that receive 2.5%, and those
actors are paid $2500 each, then Lender shall receive a reduction to $5,000. However,
in no event, shall Performer's likeness be used for any merchandising in association
with alcohol, tobacco, gambling, hygiene, or sexual products without Performer's
prior written approval.

suspended during all periods (a) with written notice, that Performer does not render material
services hereunder because of illness, incapacity, or material default; (b) with notice, that

events (i.e. any labor dispute, fire, war, governmental action, or any other unexpected or
disruptive event sufficient to excuse performance of this Agreement as a matter of law), or
the death, illness or incapacity of a principal member of the cast. All dates herein set forth or
provided for shall be postponed for a period equivalent to the period of such event. If any

recall on 72 hours notice on the termination of such suspension. There shall be no selective

Producer's credit obligations regarding Performer. In the event that any such third party
agreement has been previously executed and does not include such requirement, Producer
shall notify such third parly in writing of Producer's credit obligations herein regarding
Performer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no casual or inadvertent failure to comply with the
provisions of this Paragraph or failure by any third parties to comply with their agreements
with Producer shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement by Producer provided
Producer shall use reasonable efforts, other than the payment of money, to prospectively cure
any such failure upon written notice from Performer.

receive 2.5%, and those actors are paid $2500 each, then Lender shall receive a reduction to
