If consent forms were signed...after intoxication..

Under contract law, to be legally bound to a contract you sign, you must have the mental capacity to enter into that agreement. Any level of intoxication obviates the signor's clarity of thought and judgment and invalidates the contract.-Legal.zoom story above.

Certainly there can be no rational ground for asserting that a man can have a moral obligation to obey a legal rule that does not exist, or is kept secret from him, or that came into existence only after he had acted, or was unintelligible, or was contradicted by another rule of the same system, or commanded the impossible, or changed every minute-- Legal Realism and the Social Contract

I realize that....but like I said...if you take a look at the 'Girls Gone Wild' lawsuits...the girls all stated they were under the influence and were underage when they signed consent (even though they signed they were over 18 when they were not)....they still lost in court.

Take a look at any standard model/actor release form.....it is very explicit. There is always a 'hold harmless' clause.

The production company et al may just pay everyone off rather than go to court anyway....
