Cougar Lawsuit
Three women described as "cougars" on a G4 TV show are suing the channel and the hosts of the show for $1,000,000.
In a video segment called "The Great Cougar Hunt" for the show, the women were branded as "cougars" (older women who seek younger men as sexual "prey"). The three women found the portrayal of their night out as "highly outrageous and offensive." They also claim they were filmed without consent.1
