Ellen DeGeneres Sued Over Using Someone's Name in a Joke

FUSE TV - Ellen DeGeneres Sued Over Using Someone's Name in a Joke

Ellen DeGeneres has been known to let her viewers help her get in on the laughs by setting them out to find hilarious coincidences out in the world. Fans can submit videos and photos on her website, and from there, who knows? She's been known to make a ton of people famous (shout-out to Sophia Grace and the Damn, Daniel kids).

But one person featured on the show was not too happy about her 15 seconds of fame, and according to TMZ, is suing the tv host for defamation and invasion of privacy.
