MUMBAI: Reality TV star Kim Kardashian isn’t happy that the footage of Kanye West’s proposal to her has hit the Internet. She is suing YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley for posting video of the proposal online at his new Internet venture MixBit.
In a lawsuit filed on Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Kardashian says Hurley was not invited to San Francisco’s AT&T Park, where the proposal took place, but rather tagged along with someone who was invited. He was only allowed to stay after allegedly promising both verbally and in a signed confidentiality agreement he would not publish details of the event. Hurley was photographed holding the signed confidentiality agreement, and the photo is included in the suit.

The lawsuit, in which West is also a plaintiff, says Hurley, who sold YouTube to Google for $1.65 billion, was eager to promote his “new but foundering business” and saw the event (which was ostensibly a birthday celebration for Kardashian) as an opportunity he could exploit.
