RV Dealer Challenges Taylor Lautner To Push Up Competition

We previously posted Taylor Lautner’s lawsuit against a RV dealer for breach of contract, fraud and emotional distress.  According to Yahoo (Associated Press) and Gossip Cop, the RV dealer offered to settle this out of court with a push up competition against Taylor.  *rolls eyes*

The owner of an RV dealership sued by Taylor Lautner over a customized vehicle challenged the ” Twilight ” star Monday to use his muscles instead of his lawyers to resolve the case.Brent McMahon, who owns McMahon’s RV in Irvine, Calif., offered to compete in a push-up contest to settle the breach of contract lawsuit that Lautner filed Aug. 23 claiming the dealership failed to deliver a $300,000 RV on time for use as a dressing room on the set of the actor’s latest film.

McMahon and his attorney denied wrongdoing and said they will vigorously defend the case in court if Lautner, 18, doesn’t accept the challenge.

The dealership said Lautner’s camp had sought a $40,000 settlement to resolve the case, leading to the unorthodox proposal by McMahon. The 47-year-old businessman said if he won the contest, he would donate the settlement money to Children’s Hospital of Orange County .

Lautner’s attorney Robert Barta declined comment, citing the pending lawsuit.

Lautner’s lawsuit claimed McMahon’s failed to complete the customized RV on time, and it needed additional work after it was delivered.

It was unclear what upgrades Lautner sought. McMahon said the vehicle was given a custom paint job.

Lautner gained fame for his role as Jacob Black in the ” Twilight ” movie series. He is currently filming “Abduction” and will reprise his role as Black in the two-part ” Twilight ” finale.

Seriously? SERIOUSLY?  *rolls eyes to the back of my head*  This RV guy is unbelievable. 

Comment below!  I can’t wait to read them!

Gossip Cop confirms after the break.

Taylor Lautner’s breach of contract lawsuit, stemming from an undelivered trailer, may not be resolved by a judge or jury.

It could all come down to a push-up competition instead.

Yes, you read that correctly.

Last week Lautner sued McMahon’s RV after the company failed to deliver a promised $300,000 trailer the actor was going to use as a dressing room during his Abduction filming.

According to the suit, Lautner didn’t receive the trailer by the agreed upon date, and on the grounds of “emotional distress,” the Twilight star is seeking $40,000 in damages.

But the RV company’s owner, Brent McMahon, is roaring back – or perhaps pushing back – with the suggestion that he and Lautner settle the issue through a push-up contest.

Again, you read that correctly.

McMahon has vowed that should he win, the money would go to the Children’s Hospital of Orange County.

Lautner’s lawyer has not commented since the lawsuit is still pending.

An attorney for McMahon has denied any wrongdoing and promised to defend the company in court, should Lautner decline the challenge.
