Jury rejects claims against Costner in Baldwin lawsuit

Source: WWLTV.com

NEW ORLEANS -- A jury settled a business feud between Hollywood actors Kevin Costner and Stephen Baldwin in a multimillion dollar lawsuit over oil-separating devices sold to BP to clean the Gulf of Mexico after the 2010 oil spill.

The jury rejected all claims from Stephen Baldwin against actor Kevin Costner over their multimillion dollar business dispute.

Stephen Baldwin sued Costner, claiming Costner duped Baldwin and his business partner out of millions of dollars in that was awarded in a contract by BP to use a centrifuge to clean up the Gulf oil spill.

Baldwin alleged that Costner and Costner’s business partners kept him in the dark about a looming $52 million sale of the devices to BP, buying him out for $1.4 million on the eve of clinching the BP deal.

Kevin Costner is the one we are rooting for. Stephen Baldwin can go snort some more coke. It's an embarrassment that he's a Baldwin.

Bet he's the black sheep and a hoot in family picnics...

but I'm trying to keep the fact that he is stupid, racist, and an xtian from biasing my opinion on the business deal where Costner lied.

These two and also James Cameron.

I don't really know the details, but I do know that Stephen Baldwin is kind of nuts.

It must suck to be an idiot.

I hung out in a bar with him once... a alternative/gay bar. He did the adult goth thing just fine, but he was an idiot back then, too.
