Bruce Willis is suing a childhood friend, claiming that he tried to extort money from him by threatening to release private family photos and other personal infromation.

Bruce DiMattia was a friend of was Willis since childhood. The lawsuit claims DiMiatta was “overcome by greed” and “jealous of his former friend’s success.” He allegedly asked Willis to buy him a car and pay him at least $100,000 in exchange for not releasing personal information on Willis.

DiMattia worked for Willis maintaining Willis’ personal items and memorabilia and also lived rent-free in a house owned by the actor from 2002 until 2006.

When DiMiattia’s employment ended this year, he has wouldn’t move out of the house and kept much of Willis’ private property, according to the suit. Willis is reportedly seeking $1 million in damages.

No, he doesn’t need the money. But good for Willis for taking a stand here! If his allegations are true, how shady of his friend. It sounds like he was getting more than compensated for his job of organizing photos… free rent plus what I’m sure was a healthy salary! Nice friend. Read the details at MSNBC.
