Niki Taylor lawsuit

On January 29, 2007, Niki Taylor filed a federal lawsuit charging E! Entertainment with slander and emotional distress for her profile on Boulevard of Broken Dreams.[1] She alleges the producers promised to promote her successes but instead misrepresented her as a failure. "The first episode," the Complaint stated, "... is a false portrayal of Ms. Taylor as being continually plagued by ill fortune and tragedy."[2] The lawsuit indicates the documentary alarmed a cosmetics company with which she was negotiating to start a cosmetics line.[3]
