PUBLICITY RIGHTS - Wolf of Wall Street edition

"In a voice-over, Jordan Belfort's character states Plaintiffs character was arrested in Miami along with a Swiss banker who plaintiff supposedly knew from law school, which precipitated Jordan Belfort's arrest. Another voice-over claims Mr. Greene's character set up a meeting with that Swiss banker that could launder money. Mr. Greene's character is later seen accompanying Jordan Belfort to a meeting in Switzerland for the purposes of laundering money. Mr. Greene's character is shown doing cocaine on company premises during business hours in another scene. The motion picture included other scenes depicting Mr. Greene's character in a reckless and depraved manner, including more than one scene wherein his character is depicted having sexual relations with a prostitute."

From the Complaint, and as noted by Eriq Gardner's Hollywood, Esq. blog: 

Greene says that he didn't consent to his image, likeness and characterization in Wolf of Wall Street. He's asserting a claim based upon a New York civil rights law that's analogous to a publicity rights statute. He's also claiming the movie contains libelous statements that "permanently damaged" him by portraying him as a "criminal and drug user with misogynistic tendencies."
