    Tonya Cooley lawsuit concerning The Ruins

    Tonya Cooley sued Bunim/Murray Productions, MTV, and fellow contestants, alleging that she was sexually assaulted while filming The Ruins and that production encouraged or failed to prevent degrading conduct toward female participants. Bunim/Murray rejected the allegations after an internal investigation. The case was settled out of court approximately one year later, without a public trial resolution on the merits.
