Taylor Lautner Used by McMahon's RV for Publicity

Taylor LautnerBrent McMahon, the owner, took the media attention from the lawsuit and used it to bring attention to himself and his company by challenging Taylor to a push-up contest.

Instead of going to court, Brent wants Taylor to compete against him in a push-up competition and if Taylor wins Brent will pay him $40,000. If Taylor loses Brent will donate the money to charity.

Brent told reporters, "We're taking a negative and making it into a positive to benefit the sick children at Children's Hospital of Orange County."

Either way, McMahon's RV ends up paying out 40k, but in return imagine how much they'll make off the publicity Taylor would bring them.

Taylor's lawyer's have released a statement declining the offer and criticizing McMahon's RV for their publicity stunt.

The statement says,

McMahon's RV's response to our client's legitimate claim further demonstrates the lack of professionalism that Mr. McMahon, his company and his employees have exhibited from the outset, and that compelled the filing of this lawsuit in the first place.

Taylor did however say he would happily settle the lawsuit if McMahon's RV donated $40,000 to CHOC, but he will NOT under any circumstances agree to compete in a push-up contest.

    Damn but young people in film and TV are all ordinary.They do not look like movie stars at all. More like waiters, car salesmen or house painters. People are really unattractive who are the so called stars of tomorrow. What has happened to show business? Really has hit bottom.

    So funny....what a weird request on McMahon's RV. I think it is great that Taylor Lautner is willing to settle if the money goes to CHOC, but I would love to see who would win the push-up contest. My money is so on Taylor!
