“I feel like I have no privacy," Troyer said. "Just because people are seeing something that was meant to be between me and her. That's the biggest reason that I'm, you know, trying to stop the tape from being released.”

“I’ve been, for the past two weeks, three weeks probably, spending a lot of money to fight this. I have my lawyer, and he’s doing a great job,” Troyer said.

According to Troyer, the couple had been dating about six months when the actor decided he wanted to break up with Shrider. He said this is what motivated her to give the footage to the website TMZ.

“I broke up with her in the middle of June; it was something probably to do with that. It was basically when she decided to give the tape away. I highly doubt that she thought that would get me back with her. Ransom or something,” Troyer said.
