Deidre Hall - Hall Files Suit Against Fan Club Boss

Emmy-nominated actress DEIDRE HALL has filed a lawsuit against the president of her internet fan club for "unauthorised exploitation" of her name and image.

The former Days of Our Lives star accuses fan club president Cathleen Paradis, 45, of refusing to give her control of several internet domains Paradis set up while working for the actress before the relationship went sour.

In a federal lawsuit filed on Tuesday (31Aug10), Hall claims Paradis "refused, and continues to refuse to surrender the domain name deidrehall.com and other domain names on behalf of Hall, unless Hall pays her thousands of dollars."

Hall also claims Paradis has continued "to use her image and likeness of the websites to generate internet traffic and sell unauthorised merchandise, including... private photographs of Hall and her minor children.”

Hall is seeking unspecified monetary damages and possession of the domains.
