Fred Stoller sued for defamation by Kenny Kramer
Fred Stoller, author of “Maybe We’ll Have You Back: The Life of a Perennial TV Guest Star”, was sued for defamation by Kenny Kramer, the inspiration for the “Seinfeld” character Cosmo Kramer. Kramer alleged that Stoller’s book included a passage about him being homophobic, based on a NYC bus tour that Stoller took. Stoller wrote about the tour going to Greenwich Village to revisit the “Seinfeld” episode “The Outing,” famously including the line “Not that there’s anything wrong with that.” Stoller added that the guide seemed like “some sort of deranged cheerleader.” A judge dismissed the case in July 2014. Stoller stated, “My book is a lighthearted memoir. Obviously this shouldn’t have happened. I never wrote something to get anyone or be mean. I just wanted to tell my story and be humorous and connect to people.”
