 | | Maury Povich and staffers at his syndicated yakfest are breathing easier today after a New York appeals court tossed a $25 million lawsuit that alleged they were responsible for the rape of a teenage guest. |
 | | The plaintiff in the case, the teen's grandmother, alleged in court documents that Povich's show producers told the girl on the day of the taping she should look and act "provocatively" while talking about her older sex partners. |
 | | Povich has yet to directly comment on the ruling, but in a press release on Universal Television's Website, the host recently championed his show's continued mission of tackling complicated issues relating to families and teens. |
