Eric Dane and wife Rebecca Gayheart have filed a lawsuit over the nude tape that was leaked online last month.

The video, which was filmed several years ago, showed the Grey's Anatomy star, 36, Gayheart, 38, and former Miss Teen USA Kari Ann Peniche socializing in a Jacuzzi tub and in bed while apparently intoxicated.

The couple is suing Gawker Media for copyright infringement and is seeking $1 million in damages and an injunction preventing any further dissemination of the video online.

In a Twitter response, Gawker's publisher Nick Denton doesn't take blame for posting the video on Defamer.com.

"To quote the great Marty Singer -- Eric Dane's lawyer -- if you don't want a sex tape on the internet, 'don't make one!'"

When the tape first surfaced online, Singer called it a "private, consensual moment involving a married couple ... which was never intended to be seen by the public."

    I don't think that the Dane's leaked this tape. I think the third wheel who has now been in Celebrity Rehab did. Why would you make a tape like this? If Rebecca is finally pregnant as it is rumored that she is, they sure did not need the stress of dealing with this mess. I guess hindsight is 20/20. People do stupid things when they are high on drugs, this is a glaring example.

    lol, how do these things even get out?! I swear sometimes I think it's the celebrities themselves that put them out and go "Oh my goodness...how'd this happen?" It's a freakin publicity stunt, because someone out of the two of them's career is going stale. And why tape it?

    I never liked Eric Dane or his wife, something about them I just never liked. Now I see why. Sure its a private moment but why tape it? After so many sex tapes have been "leaked" why screw with your career, your wife's, and some former miss usa/play mate dum dum? Why would you do that and not keep it secure (if taping urself is how u get ur jollies) How was it stolen

    Why do celebs have to have the cameras on when they have sex? Saving it for posterity? Or are they just hoping it "leaks" out like this one did so they can say "ooopsie!" and oh, by the way, I'm back in the spotlight! Bunch of phony crap! TURN THE CAMERA OFF!!!
