MTV and its Viacom parent along with producer Bunim-Murray have answered the $5 million lawsuit, filed last month in U.S. District Court in Washington by Golzar Amirmotazedi, who claims she was given eight to 10 alcoholic beverages and ridiculed when she refused to have sex with one of the show's cast members. In pushing her claims of privacy violations and infliction of emotional distress, Amirmotazedi asserts that she was too inebriated to sign a lawful waiver. What say the defendants? Not drunk!

Predictably, the producers first say the release agreement covers them from liability. It states, "I understand that I have no expectation of privacy in (The Real World) house." (The waiver is also more good evidence of the broad rights that people sign away when appearing on reality TV.)

The producers also wish to exploit the arbitration provision of the release agreement and move this dispute out of district court. To do that, they'll have to convince the judge that the agreement is binding, which tests the question of whether Amirmotazedi was of sound enough mind to enter this contract.

Then the answer disputes that the woman was drunk and/or "appeared to be intoxicated." Based on a viewing of the show, Amirmotazedi doesn't appear to be overly inebriated, but then again, one of the show's cast members admits to giving her vodka-Red Bulls and Tequila.
