Michael Moore Sued for $85 Million

Michael Moore can’t escape controversy when it comes to his film “Fahrenheit 9/11.”

The filmmaker is being sued by a war veteran who claims that Moore used an interview he gave to NBC News out of context and portrayed his as anti-war, E! Online reports.

Sgt. Peter Damon, 33, filed an $85 million lawsuit in Suffolk Superior Court in Massachusetts last week.

The lawsuit claims that the film “creates a substantially fictionalized and falsified implication of a wounded serviceman who was left behind when Plaintiff was not left behind but supported, financially and emotionally, by the active assistance of the president, the United States and his family, friends, acquaintances and community.”

In the film, Damon, a double amputee, is seen on a gurney talking about how much pain he is in and how the painkillers take the edge off. His scene is preceded by a Democrat claiming President Bush is leaving all kinds of veterans behind.

Moore has not commented on the lawsuit as of yet.
