Jason Pierre-Paul suing ESPN, Adam Schefter
USA TODAY Sports
The Giants defensive end is going after the World Wide Leader in Sports and its top NFL reporter.
On February 24 Jason Pierre-Paul filed a lawsuit against ESPN and its NFL insider, Adam Schefter, for releasing his private medical records that revealed he would need surgery to amputate his right index finger.
Pierre-Paul, 27, is seeking more than $15,000 in damages saying Schefter violated his privacy by posting his medical records on Twitter for his 4 million followers to see. The lawsuit specifically says the reporter “improperly obtained” the records while “JPP” was being treated at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami.
