Kansas City Radio: Woman Wins 'Porn Star' Case Against KBRZ

UPDATE 5PM 9/26:  A woman who sued KBRZ over being called a porn star has been awarded at least $250,000 in damages.

Ashley Patton sued Entercom Kansas City, the owners of 96.5 The Buzz and broadcasters of "Afentra's Big Fat Morning Buzz" for false light invasion of privacy and negligent supervision.

KSHB-TV41 reports a hearing has begun to decide punitive damages in the case.

Patton had sued over an April 2012 broadcast in which DJs Afentra (Bandokoudis) and Danny Boi (Daniel Terreros) asked listeners to send in the names of local residents who "were said to be local porn stars," according to the lawsuit. Two listeners texted Patton's name, the lawsuit claimed, and during a Google search, Danny Boi found an adult film actress with a similar, but distinctly different name.

The DJs announced Patton's name and high school, as well as placed it online and kept a podcast of the show online until Patton complained, according to court documents.

Testimony continued Thursday in the trial of a woman who’s suing a popular Kansas City radio station, according KSHB-TV41.

Ashley Patton accused DJs Afentra and Danny Boi of wrongfully calling her a porn star on KRBZ 96.5 FM's morning program "Afentra's Big Fat Morning Buzz."

Patton testified at the U.S. Federal Courthouse in KCK that even two years later, she struggles with anxiety. She blamed the DJs on Afentras Big Fat Morning Buzz, who broadcast a Google search with her name during a segment on local KC porn stars.

Patton has nothing to do with that line of work; instead she was going to law school when the broadcast happened in 2012.

The mistake came down to one misspelled letter.

Defense attorneys cross-examined her, trying to prove the show's mistake wasn't intentional and her stress was caused more by law school than the radio station.

Patton is asking the station's owners to pay $150-200,000 in emotional damages.
