Actress from Innocence of Muslims Suing Film’s Producer and YouTube for Making Her Life Miserable

Cindy Lee Garcia, an actress who starred in the unfortunately-infamous Innocence of Muslims , is suing both the film's producer and YouTube, claiming that her involvement in the low-rent, Islamaphobic flick has made her life pretty unpleasant. A complaint filed by Garcia's lawyer earlier today in Los Angeles Superior Court alleges fraud, slander, and the intentional infliction of emotional distress. Garcia claims that after the YouTube splash Innocence made in the Middle East last week, she has received "credible death threats," lost her job, and is no longer allowed to care for her grandchildren. Moreover, Garcia says she unwittingly stumbled into this trifecta of suckitude — she claims that producer Sam Bacile (an apparent pseudonym, explains the LA Times , for Nakoula Basseley Nakoula) tricked her into working on Innocence , having told her that he was really making an adventure movie called Desert Warrior about ancient Egypt. And, really, who wouldn't want to be in a movie about ancient Egypt? M. Cris Armenta, the lawyer representing Garcia, says that the lawsuit "is not a First Amendment issue. This is an invasion of privacy issue." All Garcia wants to do, he says, is "clear her name, get the content taken down and let the world know that she did not consent to have her image used in this way." Otherwise, she could struggle to regain some semblance of normalcy in her life — just ask Salman Rushdie .

Back in December of last year, Ironhide Games released an iPad version of their hugely popular tower defense Flash game Kingdom Rush HD [ $2.99 (HD) ]. It didn’t drastically reinvent the tower defense genre or anything, but its production values were at a really high level and the game exuded a very likable kind of charm. Of course, it didn’t hurt that it had fun and challenging gameplay, either. One major bummer though was that it was iPad only, but this past June Ironhide let everyone with iPhones and iPod touches in on the fun when they released a small-screened version simply called Kingdom Rush [ Free ]. And for the next week or so, you can grab this version of the game totally for free. Be sure to check out our original review of the iPad version, and know that since then both the iPad and iPhone versions have been updated pretty heavily, most recently adding a new 2-level campaign, a new hero type, and a new in-game shop to buy different goodies. You can also visit our forums for discussion or help with Kingdom Rush , but for free it’s pretty much a must download if you like these kinds of games in any way.
