A man who participated in the popular 'Wife Swap' television show is suing producers for $10,225,000 after the 'wife' they sent to his home was a gay man. The suit filed Oct. 11 claims: -Bedford was distraught over the misrepresentation to the point of nonparticipation. -Defendants threatened if Bedford did not film the show that they would not tell him his wife's location and would not pay for her to be sent home. -Bedford conducted a Bible study for the Haileyville Baptist Church, wherein the gay swap participant invited a gay coalition into Bedford's home for the study. -Defendants repeatedly told him his wife was leaving him. He claims he became emotionally distraught over his and his family's situation to the point of becoming physically and mentally ill. His wife was not informed of his illness. -Bedford was not allowed to speak to his wife during the filming of the episode and not allowed to continue his college work during the filming. Subsequently, he was dropped from one class. -Defendants acted with reckless disregard. As a result of intentional infliction of mental distress he has incurred medical bills, public humiliation, embarrassment and undue grief. He seeks $5 million for that distress and punitive damages of $5 million.
