Kim Kardashian and Kanye West will be receiving their $440,000 settlement from winning a lawsuit against the YouTube co-founder, Chad Hurley, who reportedly shot Kanye's secret wedding proposal and shared it online without their permission.
The couple, who just tied the knot last year, sued Hurley and accused him of manipulating his way into the proposal venue situated in San Francisco to see the supposedly secret proposal in 2013.
Adding to the lawsuit filed against Hurley, reports claimed that Hurley still leaked the video online via MixBit, despite after signing a confidentiality agreement.
"Hurley wasn't invited to the event, but that he was allowed to stay if he signed a confidentiality agreement.", Business Insider reported.
Kim and Kanye after they found out about their leaked wedding proposal, were enraged and immediately contacted their lawyer, Eric George, to file a lawsuit against the accused.
The lawsuit also claimed that Hurley was too desperate after his YouTube sales declined twice at the time. Following the charges, Hurley needs to settle the said amount within the next few days in order for the cast to be dismissed.
Hurley and YouTube founder, Steve Chen, sold YouTube to Google for an amount of $1.65 billion back in 2006. Hurley resigned as the company CEO in 2010 and transferred his company position to Salar Kamangar.
After Chen and Hurley sold YouTube to Google, Hurley leaked the video via his founded app, MixBit, that works for video editing by only using smartphones.
Following the collapse, Hurley tried other ventures and funded US F1, however, though he and his group were granted to govern body FIA, they could not generate enough sources and still folded.
Meanwhile, Kim and Kanye, who are happy parents to their only daughter North West, said that the footage of Kanye's secret wedding proposal only belonged to the "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" show producers, Bunim/Murray and E!.
