Verne Troyer is Suing Ranae Shrider for Abuse

Verne Troyer (39) filed a detailed lawsuit which claims Ranae Shrider (22) physically and mentally abused him. The suit asks for $20 million. The mental abuse includes releasing their intimate tape. Troyer says Shrider once held him against his will.

Verne discussed the humiliation he felt after the tape was released with Us Weekly. In the interview he said:

"I put all the trust in her. She kept the tape in her camera on top of the closet where I couldn’t even reach it!"

Troyer told TMZ:

"When you pick up a 2’8" human being and throw him to the floor, it hurts."

When asked by Us Weekly how he feels about his ex now he said:

"Hate is a good word."

Who can blame him?

Holly Bannon, a rep for back stabber Ranae Shrider, said in a statement:

"This lawsuit is ridiculous and riddled with lie upon lie from Verne Troyer and his camp. It is in our opinion a transparent attempt to secure as much publicity as he can from his less than average career in the wake of his most recent failure in The Love Guru."

"The only abuse that ever occurred in their household was that of emotional abuse inflicted upon Ranae and her dog Lacy on the occasions when he hit Ranae and her dog with his ’reaching sticks’ or kicked them when having one of his drunken rages."

"This alleged abuse certainly has not seemed to affect his recent round of interviews or his golf swing over the weekend. Is this not the same man who is renown as a professional stuntman in all his movies?"

Shrider admitted she leaked the intimate tape she made with Troyer. It seems she was one seeking attention to get her nonexistent acting and modeling career going.
