RARE LAUNDRIE FAMILY SIGHTING The Laundries sighting comes amidst various lawsuits being pursued against them by the Petito family and the Lifetime film's premiere. The Gabby Petito Story premiered on Saturday, with Skyler Samuels playing Gabby and Evan Hall acting as Laundrie. Viewers have ripped the film as a ...bad after-school special,... but other actors have defended their decisions to act in it. Douglas Taurel, who plays Gabby's father, Joe Petito, spoke exclusively to The U.S. Sun about his decision to accept his role. Taurel admitted that he had ignored the case that captivated the country last summer until he was cast in the film. InstagramLifetime's film, The Gabby Petito Story, premiered on Saturday and follows the deadly cross-country road trip of Brian and Gabby '/ ' Romain Maurice for The US SunHurricane Ian left a path of destruction in North Port after making landfall in Florida last Wednesday '/ ' Romain Maurice for The US SunOver 100 people are feared dead as rescue efforts continue '/ ' Romain Maurice for The US SunIan heavily damaged North Port's infrastructure '/ ' Romain Maurice for The US SunNorth Port was among the hardest hit areas in Florida '/ ' ...When the story came out, I saw it on TV, I was just like the rest of the nation, but I ignored it mainly because I didn't want to watch it as a TV show because I knew that was someone's family,... Taurel said. ...I know people were talking about it, blogging about it, and I just felt like this is actually someone's daughter. I don't need to watch his tragedy.... While the Petito family did not give their approval for the movie, Taurel said he would want them to know the project was meant to honor Gabby. ...We're trying to honor Gabby's life and her legacy and the way she lived her life, and bring respect to the family for what they're going through,... he told The U.S. Sun. PETITOS LEGAL BATTLES Gabby's parents are currently involved in a $50million lawsuit against the Moah City Police Department \- where they claim officers ...failed to protect... their daughter in a domestic violence call weeks before her murder. The lawsuit, unveiled by the Petito family's attorney Brian Stewart, accuses Moab City PD of a series of negligent failures during an encounter with Gabby and her soon-to-be murderer boyfriend on August 12, 2021. Meanwhile, in late June, a Florida judge allowed the Petitos' civil lawsuit against Brian Laundrie's parents to go to trial. The court's ruling was made based on Laundrie family attorney Steven Bertolino...s statement during the search for Gabby, which Judge Hunter W Carroll called ...objectively outrageous.... Bertolino said during the search for the missing vlogger: ...On behalf of the Laundrie family, it is our hope that the search for Miss Petito is successful and that Miss Petito is reunited with her family.... The Laundries' silence and Bertolino's comment \- while allegedly knowing Gabby was dead \- provided false hope and invoked emotional distress, Petito's lawyer Patrick Reilly argued in court. ...Because the Laundries' statement by their attorney in the context of the unique faces of this case is objectively outrageous, the Court concludes that Plaintiffs 'Petitos ' have stated causes of actions for intentional infliction of emotional distress against the Laundries,... the judge wrote. ...If the facts of this case truly were about silence with no affirmative act by the Laundries, the Court would have resolved this case in the Laundries' favor on the concept of legal duty.
