MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A Tennessee man has filed a lawsuit saying producers of a reality television show about drag racing encouraged violence between him and the host.
WTVF-TV reported Wednesday that Chad and Genny Larkin filed the federal lawsuit against Discovery Inc., Pilgrim Media Group and “Street Outlaws: Memphis” host Johnathan Day.
Genny Larkin says a producer instructed a cameraman “to get in there and get a better shot” instead of intervening during the fight between her husband and Day and another man.
She says her husband nearly died. The lawsuit says the show in February aired a scene of Chad Larkin’s bloody face and edited the episode to portray him as the aggressor.
