ANOTHER LAWSUIT?!?: Jesse Ventura Back in Court Against Chris Kyle, American Sniper

A multi-million dollar verdict against the widow of Navy SEAL legend Chris Kyle isn’t enough for Jesse Ventura – he’s filed another lawsuit in a grab for even more money.

In July, the disgraced former governor won $1.8 million from the Kyle’s estate in a dispute over a subchapter about a California bar fight between the SEAL sniper and a man he called “Scruff Face” and publicly identified as Kyle during subsequent interviews.

The latest lawsuit, a naked grab at money from a deceased hero, is against the books publisher, Harper Collins. According to documents filed with the court, the publicity of Ventura getting dropped like a sack of potatoes “generated by the false and defamatory story about Ventura substantially increased sales of ‘American Sniper,’ thereby generating millions of dollars in revenues and profits for Harper Collins.”

  2. Well... he has a point, and he won his defamation case. The "sniper" folks made money with apparently false stories, as litigated in court. I think this article should really tone down the rhetoric and stick to the facts.

    This doesn't look to me like profiting off of a dead man, it looks like getting back a people who profited from a lie that defamed Ventura. They also used the Ventura name and brand to boost sales. I think Ventura has every right to win these cases.
