Larry Flynt sued a pair of his nephews when they decided to launch their own company last year and use the family name. He accused his nephews that by launching Flynt Media Corp and by making several videos that are in his opinion nothing but cheap knockoffs, they are ruining his image.
In court, Flynt is seeking not mentioned damages, testifying that his nephews, Jimmy Flynt Jr. and Dustin Flynt were incompetent employees that he hired because of family obligation. They both worked for him several years, even reaching management position before they were fired in November 2007.
Shortly after being fired, Jimmy Jr. along with his brother launched Flynt Media Corp and produced some explicit videos. Flynt got a court order to close their business pending the result of the lawsuit.
They testified that their videos are classy and more modern than those of their uncle’s. “With the new line we are looking to bring back the class and elegance of erotica,” said Dustin Flynt.
Even if Flynt didn’t trademark his name, he says that the name appears on Hustler video productions, in the words “Larry Flynt’s Private Collection”.
Had to LOL on this one. Class & Elegance & Cheap knockoffs Right!!!
