Actor Colin Farrell is suing a woman for allegedly trying to distribute and profit from a sex tape he says the two recorded with the agreement it would never be made public, the Associated Press reported.
The lawsuit filed Monday seeks monetary damages as well as a temporary restraining order and injunction prohibiting the sale or other use of the videotape, AP said.
The news service reported that Farrell, 29, accuses Nicole Narain of trying to distribute the tape through an intermediary. The two had an intimate relationship 2 1/2 years ago and both agreed that the 15-minute tape that shows the couple having sex would be jointly owned by them and would remain private, according to the suit.
The lawsuit also accused the 31-year-old woman of working with the owner of an Internet porn business and contacting the news media about the tape, the AP reported.
The lawsuit said the release of the videotape would irreparably harm Farrell's reputation and career, the story said.
