Gayheart, Dane in Hollywood video scandal

Aug 20 (IBNS) Eric Dane and his wife Rebecca Gayheart are fighting a legal battle over a leaked video that shows the couple romping naked with a friend.

The leaked video shows Grey’s Anatomy star Dane, Gayheart and their friend Kari Ann Peniche filming each other in skimpy lingerie, sheknows.com reported.

Peniche happens to be a dethroned beauty queen, Hollywood madam and the ex-fiancé of Aaron Carter.

The tape shows the couple letting it all hang out in Peniche’s SoCal apartment. The girls were dressed up in skimpy lingerie and soaking in the tub together and the trio appeared to be under the influence of alcohol. In fact in the video, Gayheart also said she needs to lie down because she was feeling “so high.”

Marty Singer, lawyer for Dane and Gayheart, said that it is not a sex tape, per se — no overt sexual acts take place on the video. “From what I’ve seen it’s a naked tape, not a sex tape. At most it’s three people maybe wanting to have sex,” Singer said.

Peniche has blamed her roommate on Celebrity Rehab and troubled country singer Mindy McCready, for leaking the video. Peniche said that McCready stole the video from her computer hard drive after arguing over money. Kari had also filed a stolen property report with the LAPD.

Dane, Gayheart and Peniche had a formal sit-down with McCready and lawyers negotiating over the terms of the stolen hard drive property. Dane was given full legal rights to the tape — but someone gave Gawker.com a three-minute clip.
