MIAMI — According to a story reported by www.xbiz.com , Darwin Select Insurance Co. of Farmington, Conn., has filed suit in Miami claiming Reality Kings operators concealed and misrepresented material facts when they signed a media liability insurance policy with them last year.
Darwin alleges that Reality Kings falsely answered questions about previous litigation on its application.
According to the suit, Reality Kings didn’t disclose it was involved in two lawsuits: One involving adult performer Flower Tucci, who alleged that the adult company unlawfully registered websites using her stage name, and another involving a CAN-SPAM claim brought on by the U.S. government.
In the suit, Darwin also claims that Reality Kings representatives answered “no” to a question on the policy’s application whether it would use unoriginal recordings with productions. The insurer further said that Reality Kings wrongfully said in the application that it receives consents from all performers, artists and musicians relative to scheduled productions.
Darwin’s claim asks the court for a rescission of the policy and to declare that it has no obligation to pay potential loss or defense expenses incurred by Reality Kings.
Another Reality Kings insurer, American Safety Indemnity Company, also has refused to defend the Miami adult company.
