Presumably private? Not so fast. These reality shows routinely play both sides of cell phone conversations. There is no recording device attached to the cell phone, and receivers that can intercept cell phone calls are illegal, so presumably there's a recorder at the other end.
A&E might be able to sue the kid, if what he sold the Enquirer was their property, but I think they'd rather distance themselves from the whole mess.
“Presumably private? Not so fast.”
Duane was under the assumption the conversation was private. I’m not questioning the legality of what his son did. Perfectly legal in that state from what I understand.
This is a morality play. Both men acted in perfectly legal ways. What I am seeing is that many FReepers believe it is more acceptable to betray the trust of one’s father, ruin his career and sell private conversations to the media than say something bad about a black girl who was trying to con him.
