“YOU HUMILIATED ME ON LIVE TV — NOW PAY THE PRICE!” — Late-night host JONNY KERR files $50 MILLION lawsuit against ex-businessman REX THORNE after on-air ambush

LOS ANGELES — In a late-night spectacle that some viewers called “television gladiatorial theater,” Jonny Kerr, host of the popular show The Kerr Hour, filed a $50 million lawsuit Wednesday against former real-estate magnate Rex Thorne after what Kerr’s lawyers describe as an “orchestrated ambush” during a live broadcast.

According to the complaint, filed in Superior Court, the incident unfolded two weeks ago when Thorne — a polarizing public figure known for surprise appearances — arrived unannounced on The Kerr Hour and interrupted a segment on celebrity philanthropy. Kerr alleges Thorne launched a barrage of personal attacks, brandishing a printed memo and repeatedly calling the host “a shill,” all while cameras rolled to millions.

“The footage shows a coordinated attempt to publicly humiliate Mr. Kerr and destroy his professional relationships,” reads the suit, which claims intentional infliction of emotional distress, defamation, and interference with prospective economic advantage. Kerr is asking for $50,000,000 in compensatory and punitive damages, plus a public retraction and an on-air apology.

A spokesperson for Thorne responded with a single sentence on social media: “Mr. Thorne stands by his right to challenge, and will vigorously defend free speech.” Thorne’s team has not yet filed a formal response in court.

Late-night producers say the episode spiraled when off-camera security briefly restrained Thorne and the band tried to play the show out. “We do live television,” Kerr quipped later on a digital statement, “but we didn’t sign up for ambushes that feel like a reality show plotline.”

Media analysts say the suit doubles as a publicity flashpoint: “Both sides are capable of turning courtroom drama into ratings gold,” said one analyst. “Whether this ends at a settlement, a headline-grabbing trial, or a televised apology remains to be seen.”

For now, The Kerr Hour continues to air, and the Turner Network issued a short statement emphasizing the safety of talent and staff. The first court date for the case is scheduled for next month; both legal teams declined further comment.

Time to revisit the question. With some distance and perspective, do you support Donald Trump’s decision to move against Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro? Supporters argue it was a firm stand against authoritarianism, corruption, and human rights abuses. Critics warn about escalation and foreign entanglements. Either way, it highlights a broader debate about America’s role in confronting dictators abroad. Where do you stand now? 👇

Kaitlin Collins is a badass. A journalist that’s not afraid to ask pertinent questions and doesn’t allow crooked politicians to demean her. She is also a wonderful role model for young women and girls. That’s way more than we can say about anyone in the White House in 2026.
