Podcasts: Adam Corolla Sued By 30-Year Friend

Carolla, Misraje
Adam Carolla is now embroiled in another lawsuit being brought against him by a 30-year friend who previously brought a lawsuit against the Internet and radio personality.

According to WebPro News, TheWrap.com  is reporting that Donny Misraje is suing Carolla for a few pictures included in his memoir “Not Taco Bell Material.” The pictures of Carolla were allegedly taken by Misraje back in the 80s, and he is claiming copyright on the photos.

The lawsuit is calling for Carolla and his publisher, Crown Publishing, to pay compensation for the books sold thus far. He’s also asking for compensatory and punitive damages as a result of copyright infringement. Finally, he asks that all unsold copies of the memoir be destroyed.

A previous lawsuit brought against Carolla claims that he misled Misraje into quitting his job. The two were to partner up on Carolla’s successful podcast, but Miraje claims that Carolla never paid him for his work. 

The ACE Broadcasting Network podcast is incredibly popular and reportedly is listened to by millions of people. In fact, it has earned the distinction of being the “most downloaded podcast” according to the Guinness World Records.
