claiming he violated a confidentiality agreement by posting a video of
the couple's marriage proposal to his new video-sharing website.
The couple's lawsuit states Chad Hurley wasn't invited to the
elaborate Oct. 21 proposal at San Francisco's AT&T Park, but was
allowed to stay because he signed an agreement not to post any video
or images from the event. West allowed other cameras to film the event
for possible broadcast on E! Entertainment Television, home to his
fiancee's show "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," according to the
suit.
Hurley posted a fuzzy 2 ½ minute long video on his new website MixBit,
that showed West proposing to Kardashian while an orchestra played.
The video also showed the ensuing celebration with Kardashian's family
and invited guests toasting the newly-engaged couple.
Kardashian and West are seeking unspecified damages from Hurley and
his company, Avos Systems Inc.
"Exclusive rights, such as those sold by plaintiffs to publication of
video of the event, are particularly valuable," the lawsuit states.
"If people violate these rights ... they are of substantially
diminished value."
A message sent through MixBit seeking comment from Hurley was not
immediately returned.
West proposed to Kardashian on her 33rd birthday; the couple's first
child North West was born in June.
