I hadn't thought about this, but Kareem's got a really strong $50 million lawsuit against them, right? They leaked evidence that clearly cost him a lot of money.

He clearly has a case for a lawsuit against TMZ....as does the hotel who's footage they illegally obtained.

Hunt was renting a room there...not just an weekend thing. The hotel most definitely doesn't want sensitive surveillance video of its high-profile patrons sold to a tabloid TV. It's their property...and was stolen. Did TMZ get clearance from them to make it public?

Cleveland PD supposedly never had a copy of the hotel footage... as it was a misdemeanor.

The big question is did TMZ make a public request for the police cam footage...and when? The date will be very interesting. The hotel footage and the police footage were obtained from two different sources. If TMZ didn't make a formal request...Hunt can sue the shit out of both of them.

No. He doesn't have a case and he can't win. He has no expectation of privacy in a public hallway. End of story. He got caught along with multiple incidents of abusing other citizens. He needs to be in jail.

Not that he would have a case anyway, but is the hallway really public?

Although you can frequently just walk in and take the elevator, most hotels have policies restricting access to the guest rooms.

He doesn't have the same expectation of privacy as being inside his own room but I think it would be more than a city sidewalk.

I'm 99% sure a hallway inside of a privately owned hotel is not a public space.

It's not rented to Kareem either, so it's not HIS private space.

It's the hotel's privates space, unless we nationalized hotels across the country when I wasn't paying attention.

Police provided a copy of the police report involving the February 10, 2018 assault incident at The 9 to a representative from the National Football League.

The report did not go through the official public records request process.

So the NFL has a connection at the Cleveland PD...that will give them police reports "off record"?

This is going to get interesting..

Whaddya' think bro, was it the Jesuits?

IN for the long-haul drama!

Dang he's gonna come out ahead, sure he would still prefer to be on the super bowl champs though.

Lol if Kareem is able to sue the crap out of TMZ and the hotel it would be the sweetest thing ever. Tmz have literally tried to destroyl the kid's career in order to gain clicks, and i hope he has no mercy on them whatsoever.
[Reply]

Shit...I would have no mercy at all. TMZ railroaded his ass out of nowhere. "Brutalized"...more like stupid drunken scuffle.

I would come after them with even ounce of my being...for trying to ruin my life for some clicks.

What Hunt did was wrong...but nowhere near deserving the media pile-on/life destroying aftermath.

Now TMZ is trying to dig up dirt on an altercation at a KC nightclub....Hunt HAS to be thinking "what the **** did I ever do to you"...this whole thing is really, really weird...and is getting weirder.
[Reply]

If the incident happened last week then maybe i could understand them leaking fresh news. But they've seemingly been pressuring people for the video for the last ten months, and then they distort the truth by creating a false headline. I really do hate that organization and i pray that Kareem has a case here. Because them losing a substantial amount of money is the only way they will learn a lesson.

The question thats been rolling around in my mind is..."if this had happened before the Ray Rice incident...would people even care"? Nobody was injured and no charges were filed...

That Ray Rice video was brutal...I though he had killed her. He nonchalantly drug her limp body out of an elevator like a meaningless sack of potatoes...it was creepy....just the lack of concern.

What Hunt did was nothing like that..on any level. Not even the same planet...**** TMZ and these SM retards. NFL is treating it like its the same level of violence...and it is not.

TMZ needs to burn for this...
[Reply]

It trully is sickening. Because by constantly bringing up Rice in relation to the Kareem incident, they are pretty much saying "Rice and Hunt did the same thing", which as you pointed out is utterly absurd. The fact is BOTH Kareem and the girl were physical against eachother, it wasn't a one way street and if Kareem really wanted to do some damage, the chance was there but he didn't. Now Kareem is in hell and those smug pr/cks at tmz continue to pile on. Please God let thid kid have a case to sue, it would be such a joyous day to see them punks grovelling for mercy.
