Suit: Porn Star Took Old Friend's Name

(07-10) 20:57 PDT HOUSTON (AP) --

A Houston woman is suing a former high school classmate who took her name and starred in pornographic movies. Kristen Syvette Wimberly, 25, is asking Lara Madden and film distributor Vivid Entertainment Group to stop using or publicizing her name, which Madden took as a stage name.

The two met in ninth grade at Kingwood High School. According to the lawsuit, they "were friends but eventually that friendship ended due to conflict."

Madden, 25, began her adult-film career in 2004 and has appeared in about a dozen adult films using the name Syvette Wimberly.
