Hunter Biden is not the first person you would expect to file a lawsuit over “revenge” porn. The First Son has filed a lawsuit against Fox News Channel for a miniseries that was streamed on the network in 2022.
Biden’s lawyers claim in a lawsuit filed on Monday at the Supreme Court of New York that Fox deliberately targeted the son of the president “to harass, annoy and alarm him, as well as tarnish and damage his reputation.”
What would it take for an observant reader to question what “tarnishes” the reputation of someone who is a crack addict, had an affair with the widow of his brother (and got her addicted to crack), then with her sister, and then with a stripper, with whom he conceived a child that he refused until a judge made him acknowledge, and tried to write off personal costs like a membership to a sex club as business expenses?
Hunter claims that Fox is out of bounds in this case:
The lawsuit states that “Fox sought to commercialize Mr. Biden through a treatment distinct from the dissemination of information or news,” The lawsuit states that “while using some true information, the show intentionally manipulates facts, distorts truth, narrates events out of context, or invents dialogue to entertain.”
The lawsuit also alleges that “numerous intimate images (both stills and videos) of Mr. Biden were published unlawfully, including showing him naked, unclothed, or exposing intimate parts of his body, as well as performing sex acts.”
Below you can view the full 15-page complaint.
Fox released a statement in response to the lawsuit:
The core complaint is a streaming program from 2022 that Mr. Biden didn’t complain about until he sent a letter late in April 2024. Hunter Biden, a public figure, has been investigated multiple times and is a convicted felon. The program was taken down within days after the letter. FOX News, following the First Amendment, has accurately reported the newsworthy incidents of Mr. Biden’s own making. We look forward to vindicating our rights in court.”
Hunter may be hoping that the network will offer him a generous settlement, given his declining revenue sources. I hope he isn’t holding his breath.
