News spread that Jason Pierre-Paul injured his fingers while playing with fireworks on the Fourth of July.  There were rumors that he lost a finger but no one was quite sure if he did or how many then ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter got ahold of JPP’s medical records and posted them on Twitter.  Schefter found himself under fire with many people upset that he went so far.  Well now JPP is apparently taking action.

via NY Post:

Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul is flagging ESPN and its reporter Adam Schefter for posting his private medical records online to millions of readers.

Pierre-Paul, 27, sued ESPN and Schefter in a Florida court Wednesday citing a violation of his privacy.

Schefter “improperly obtained” Pierre-Paul’s medical chart showing the defensive end had his right index finger amputated and posting the record on Twitter to nearly 4 million followers, the suit says.

“This action arises out of ESPN reporter Schefter’s blatant disregard for the private and confidential nature of plaintiff’s medical records, all so Schefter could show the world that he had ‘supporting proof’ of a surgical procedure,” the suit says.

JPP is suing for $15K which isn’t that much money but it will certainly make reporters think twice when sharing certain information.
