London, Dec 31 (IANS) Hollywood actor Ashton Kutcher has won a fight with a porn company as the firm agreed to remove his name from promotional material for a sex tape.

The ‘Spread’ actor threatened to sue after Vivid Entertainment bosses named him in a press release for their forthcoming adult video featuring Brittney Jones, who claims to have bedded Kutcher.

The press release declared: ‘Ashton’s fans will undoubtedly enjoy seeing what the star himself may have experienced.’

The firm’s boss Steve Hirsch initially dismissed the actor’s complaint as ‘without merit’ but after a number of legal exchanges, Kutcher has been distanced from the controversy, reports tmz.com.

‘We decided not to use the A-lister’s actual name in connection with the sex tape,’ said a representative from Vivid Entertainment.
