I always said people needed to be careful about content trades. Go figure it would be this jack ass of a lawyer to try and exploit one.

BTW you guys know she was Brittney Wilson in White Chicks, right? LOL love that movie!!

Isn’t that a fact, XXX and Karma. I doubt she made anywhere near $300K with the movie. Unfortunately, it is usually cheaper to settle for $25K or $50K rather than fight the case and I think that is what the plaintiffs are after. It is very difficult to get your attorney’s fees out of even a patently false case, if Maitland and her spouse are lucky they might manage it but before they can get that far they have to front the six figure defense costs. The plaintiffs probably have their attorney working on contingency but defendants don’t get that luxury. I doubt she has it to front which means settlement is the more likely result. I don’t even know if Maitland can come up with $50K (if she can get it negotiated down to the $25K neighborhood she might be able to swing that by cash advances on credit cards), she is a contract performer but those contracts aren’t that lucrative nowadays, if she gets $150K per year off of her Deeper contract with Kayden Kross I would be surprised — and that is before taxes so if she were to front the costs of her defense it would likely take more than one year of her after-tax income to pull it off! She was on Boy Meets World 30 years ago but I doubt her royalties off of re-runs of the show come out to six figures per year.

They want almost 300k from her and she probably actually made a tiny fraction of that with todays porn market.

I predict that in the end the case will be dismissed, or these grifter plaintiffs will lose big and owe Ms. Ward her attorney’s fees.

Setting aside the he said-she said aspects, the whole idea that an amateur video shot in a hotel room has such value is mind-blowingly stupid and outrageous.

I don’t know Maitland and her spouse or relative (they both have the same last name, Baxter) but even taking into account her past mainstream career on Boy Meets World (which was almost 30 years ago) I suspect this is going to be one hell of a financial hit on her whether she settles the case or fights it. Cases like this cost six figures to fight, if Mr. Frank and Ms. Peterson are making this up they deserve to be put in stocks, tarred and feathered by Maitland and the other defendant. I would also like a chance to tar and feather the plaintiffs if the accusations aren’t true.
