A former cast member of “Beverly Hills Nannies” and her husband were sued Monday by his father and stepmother, who allege the couple have conducted an electronic campaign of harassment toward the plaintiffs.
Real estate investor Kenneth Slaught and his wife, artist Elizabeth Slaught, filed the lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court against Ariane Bellamar and her spouse, Tanner Slaught, who is identified in the court papers as Kenneth Slaught’s estranged son.
The suit alleges libel, false light, intentional infliction of emotional distress, Internet impersonation and cyber piracy. The suit seeks unspecified damages.
Representatives for Bellamar, who, according to the complaint is a “former adult film actress seeking to become a reality television star and to promote herself in the legitimate acting and entertainment business,” and Tanner Slaught could not be immediately reached.
“Defendants’ ongoing conduct is comprised of more than 70 incidents of electronic harassment on such media as Twitter and Instagram aimed at plaintiffs across multiple social media accounts and different websites,” according to the suit, which alleges Bellamar and Tanner Slaught have admitted they intend the “drama” with the plaintiffs to be the focus of an upcoming reality show.
Bellamar and Tanner Slaught, who married in October 2014, have falsely posed as Kenneth Slaught and have sent “harassing messages that Kenny is a disgusting deadbeat dad (who) hired prostitutes for his children” and “libelously asserted that Elizabeth has given acid brownies to friends and her children,” the suit alleges.
The two also have falsely claimed Kenneth Slaught is addicted to pornography and that he had a child out of wedlock before marrying his wife, according to the complaint.
