Former Real World cast member sues MTV after being allegedly raped with a toothbrush
Tonya Cooley, a former cast member of The Real World: Chicago, has filed a lawsuit against MTV, Bunim/Murray Productions, and two male contestants on The Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Ruins, claiming that she was sexually assaulted while filming the show in Thailand in 2009. According to TMZ, the suit alleges that fellow cast members Kenneth Santucci and Evan Starkman “took another male participant's toothbrush and rubbed the toothbrush around plaintiff's genitals, including rubbing her labia and inserting the toothbrush into plaintiff's vagina” while Cooley was “passed out cold.” (Probably from being really tired, from all the challenges).
