Melinda and Scott Tamkin, two associates with Keller Williams Realty in Beverly Hills, Calif., are suing a writer for the CBS show “CSI” because they allege they were portrayed unkindly in a show because of a real estate deal that didn’t work out right.
The "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" episode featured a real estate practitioner named Melinda who dies. Her husband Scott, a mortgage broker, is suspected of killing her.
The Tamkins believe they were portrayed in the episode and sued writer and producer Sarah Goldfinger for defamation and invasion of privacy. They are seeking $6 million in damages, alleging that the show kept potential customers away.
The Tamkins represented the owners of a home that Goldfinger wanted to buy in 2005, according to the lawsuit. Goldfinger pulled out when the sale was in escrow.
