Actress Sues Cinemax After Being 'Blindsided' by Sex Scenes
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/actress-sues-cinemax-being-blindsided-401114
Anne G worked on a single episode of the late-night Cinemax series Femme Fatales that was titled "Jail Break."
Anne G says in the suit she was not told when she auditioned or when she was hired under an AFTRA contract that she would be required to perform scenes in the nude and simulate sexual intercourse. She says that on Dec. 6, 2011, the first day of shooting, “she was blindsided with rewrite after rewrite which necessitated her character to simulate sexual intercourse and for her to appear nude but for pasties on her nipples and a sticker on her private parts.”
She says, in the suit, this was all done “without the proper health and safety protections,” nor was the set closed except for essential production crew as union rules require.
When Anne G said she was not comfortable with what she was being asked to do and that she never would have agreed if she knew this involved “soft-core porn,” the suit says, she was told if she did not perform as requested, her contract allowed them to sue her for $100,000 for being in breach of contract.

Blindsided by nudity and simulated sex scenes on a show for Cinemax?
Possibly the most frivolous lawsuit ever.
