Verne’s New Lawsuit

Austin Powers’ biggest little star, Verne Troyer, has a new lawsuit in his hands. As TMZ first reported, Verne is suing his ex-girlfriend and sex tape co-star, Ranae Shrider. Verne is accusing Ranae of “intentional infliction of emotional distress and battery” in the lawsuit that is being filed today. Verne’s attorney, Ed McPherson, told TMZ, “When you pick up a 2′8″ human being and throw him to the floor, it hurts.” The actor is claiming in the suit that Ranae terrorized him, threw him on the floor and beat the crap out of him. He is also claiming that the damages Ranae inflicted on him exceed a $20 million payment. It’s definitely been a busy day for celeb’s legal dramas today.
