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.
