Jersey Shore "cover up"

On an episode of Jersey shore a famous boardwalk fight Ronnie and Sammi left the bar and a fight broke out between Ronnie and this guy who was bothering them at the bar. On the episode they mainly show the guy starting the fight by cursing at them and whatnot but in the real raw footage, it shows the real thing. The real which shows Ronnie and Sammi were clearly antagonizing the couple by spitting out homophobic slurs and other insults before the incident became violent. The couple Joshua Thomas and Kristin Perrenod filed a lawsuit and claims that they have a DVD that show what really happened that night. Although a waiver was signed, the couple think thats its unfair because they were clearly intoxicated in the video and the waiver should not have been allowed. What I think is that this may be just a publicity stunt, possibly involved with the show, how can they have a DVD if they were intoxicated, who was filming all this for them. But if it is true then MTV should come clean and say that Ronnie and Sammi was the real cause.
