Tyra Banks Sued By Mother Of Alleged Teen Sex Addict

So what do you do when your 15-year-old sex addicted daughter appears on the Tyra Banks show without your permission?

You sue, of course! Because you know, realizing the bigger problem is your daughter’s issues and focusing on fixing those, is just silly.

Beverly McClendon, a social worker in Georgia is suing Tyra Banks and her talk show’s executive producers, Warner Bros. Entertainment, for $3 million, after her daughter was featured on Tyra’s show without parental permission.

McClendon is suing for negligence – claiming the show paid her daughter for the appearance, but did not get permission from the labor commissioner to employ her.

According to the lawsuit, which was filed in an Atlanta federal court on October 8th, the Tyra Banks show contacted her teen daughter on her cell phone, after her daughter responded to a request on the show’s website for teen “sex addicts.”

The mother also alleges her daughter was picked up by a limo at her Georgia home and flown to New York, where the show put her up in a hotel – all without the mother’s knowledge. She even claims a missing persons report was filed with the local police when she realized her daughter was gone.

The mother’s lawsuit also says the teen girl was never diagnosed as a sex addict.

Here’s the best part – the mother, who clearly does not have a tight enough leash on her child, says her daughter has suffered damages because the show was “undoubtedly watched by sexual deviants, perverts and pedophiles.”
