ST. LOUIS • A video of a group of women brawling in front of a St. Louis barber shop has sparked a fight of a different kind - this time in court.

The video was purportedly shot March 24, 2010, in front of Big Tymers Barber and Beauty Salon by Kenneth Boyd. The suit says Boyd sold a copy for a "nominal fee" to Big Tymers owner Arvelle White, who unbeknownst to Boyd sold the video to Court TV, the suit says.

The video then ran on the "Battling Babes" episode of the network's "Top 20 Most Shocking" series, the suit says.

Reached Monday, Boyd lawyer Annette Heller said that Boyd did not know the women or White, but gave White a copy for $2 or $3.

The suit seeks unspecified damages from Turner Entertainment Networks Inc. and Courtroom Television Network LLC.

White and the network, now truTV, could not be immediately reached for comment Monday evening.
