Verne Troyer accuses his ex Ranae Shrider of beating him

Star files lawsuit against woman who leaked sex tape

Verne Troyer is suing ex girlfriend Ranae Shrider for battery and emotional distress.

The actor, who played 'Mini-Me' in Austin Powers, has accused her of beating him when he tried to break up with her.

‘When you pick up a 2'8" human being and throw him to the floor, it hurts,’ lawyer Ed McPherson tells TMZ.

Verne, 39, also claims Ranae violated his privacy when she leaked a sex tape of them to a US website.

He is said to be seeking at least £10million in damages.

It is thought other people will be sued, including a lawyer who allegedly tried to broker a deal for the sale of the sex tape.
