Former porn star “Melissa Midwest” Harrington withdrew her name from a federal class-action lawsuit against Match.com that claims the dating website used thousands of fake profiles with pictures of attractive people to lure paid members to the site.

Harrington, 31, wanted her name dropped from the suit filed by attorney Evan Spencer because she didn’t want the media attention. Harrington was once the ninth-most searched name on the Internet.

“Melissa hasn’t been in the [porn] business for five years and decided she just didn’t want the attention,” Spencer said Monday to the New York Post. Court filings indicated that Harrington “demanded that she be withdrawn as a plaintiff” because she never agreed to be a part of the suit, the paper reported.

Spencer is scrapping the $4.5 billion lawsuit filed against Match.com and affiliated sites in November for an amended version of the complaint, he told the Post.

“Melissa Midwest” isn’t the first high-profile name to be dropped from the complaint as the lead plaintiff. Harrington replaced Florida model Yuliana Avalos in January.

Spencer dropped Avalos from the lawsuit because he discovered complaints that she sold revealing pictures of herself to Nigerian scammers, who were listed in the suit as having exploited the part-time model, the Post reported. The attorney said the tips on Avalos were given to him by David Rosenblatt, a comedian who has an Internet radio show that reports on Internet scams.

The new lawsuit will list Harrington’s ex-husband, Shane Harrington, as a plaintiff. Shane Harrington owned the rights to his ex-wife’s pictures, according to the Post.

Match.com wouldn’t address the latest development, but a spokesman for the website said the lawsuit is “filled with outlandish conspiracy theories and clumsy fabrications in lieu of factual or legal basis.”
