“It is full of lies, distortions and misrepresentations and will not succeed. In its effort to extract a great financial agreement, [plaintiff] He presented Mr. Sharpe a secretly recorded video of a consensual sexual encounter. We believe that the video has been very edited and taken completely out of context, prepared to falsely portray a consensual act as non -agreed. “
