Aerosmith's Steven Tyler Files Suit Against Online Impersonators

by Lee Bains on September 25, 2008 at 06:02 PM




Earlier today, Steven Tyler -- lead singer and founding member of Aerosmith -- filed suit against individuals on Google's Blogger site, which Tyler claims is full of bloggers that have been impersonating him in their online postings, News.com.au reports.

The lawsuit alleges that these anonymous bloggers have caused harm to Tyler and his girlfriend Erin Brady by revealing private facts about the couple's lives, using his image without permission, and spreading falsehoods. Blogs written on the subject of Tyler's recently deceased mother were, according to the suit, particularly hurtful.

The blogs in question were taken down by Google earlier today and are under review to assess any breach of Blogger's terms of service.

While we believe anybody who says anything about anybody's mama deserves to have their butt whooped, one question does remain: Who, having seen any recent picture of Steven Tyler, would want to impersonate him? [From: News.com.au]
