LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Tommy and Pamela Anderson Lee may want to be less public with their passion after a judge denied the couple's motion to bar Penthouse from distributing a videotape of them having sex.
"Plaintiffs have not consented to public or commercial use of the videotape," Judge Ronald Sohigian wrote in his ruling. "The tape was, however, evidently made, in part, in settings which are not truly private." In the ruling issued Aug. 9, Sohigian said the tape shows the couple having sex in a car on a public highway and in a boat "plying the waters of what is apparently Lake Mead."
In the Lees' $10-million invasion of privacy lawsuit against Penthouse publisher Bob Guccione, they claim Penthouse intended to sell copies of the videotape. The Motley Crue drummer and Baywatch star claim the self-photographed tape was stolen by a construction worker who remodelled their Malibu home last year.
