Bruce Willis Sues Former Friend
Bruce Willis has sued a childhood friend, claiming he tried to extort at least $100,000 from him by threatening to release private photos of the action star.
The lawsuit claims that Bruce DiMattia was "overcome by greed" and was "jealous of his former friend's success," so he threatened to disclose personal information about the actor unless Willis bought him a car and paid him at least $100,000.
DiMattia worked for Willis -- and lived rent-free in a house owned by the actor -- from 2002 until 2006, the lawsuit said.
He was responsible for maintaining Willis' personal items and memorabilia and organizing photographs and videos of the actor and his family.
