nice job by mtv here...
It looks like MTV has gotten a little lost in translation.
A Russian mother-daughter team is suing the Viacom subsidiary for "emotional distress" allegedly caused by a case of miscommunication on the popular reality show "Date My Mom" - in which a male contestant chooses a daughter to date, based on her mother's sales pitch.
Fortysomething movie producer Irina Stemer and her 19-year-old daughter, Anastasia Camras, appeared on the June 23 episode. Speaking Russian, their lawsuit alleges, Stemer told potential suitor Jorgen Sampson: "My daughter has a very big heart."
But according to court documents obtained by the Daily News' Michelle Caruso, MTV's English subtitles translated: "Jorgen, there is no better piece of a- than my princess Anastasia."
The mother-daughter duo was "mortified and humiliated," claims their lawsuit, which seeks $2 million in damages for libel, intentional infliction of emotional distress, false light and negligence.
Yesterday, the plaintiffs' attorney, Sam Perlmutter, declined to put Stemer on the phone and told Lowdown that Camras was "too shaken up" to speak.
