lawsuit

TSN’s embarrassing publication of a Twitter joke alleging an adulterous relationship between Toronto Maple Leafs winger Joffrey Lupul and actress Elisha Cuthbert, the wife of teammate Dion Phaneuf, may end up costing the network and the fan that tweeted it. During TSN’s TradeCentre deadline coverage on Monday, a running scroll at the bottom of the screen published tweets sent to the #TradeCentre hashtag. One of the tweets from Anthony Adragna, a Leafs fan, made the allegation. The players and Cuthbert have retained legal representation. TSN responded to the first demand with prominent network host James Duthie reading a prepared statement on Sportscentre and again on the pre-game show prior to Tuesday’s game in Florida.
