The aspiring actress featured in Verne Troyer's explicit sex tape was the person who granted a celebrity website permission to air extracts of the footage, it has emerged.Ex-girlfriend Ranae Shrider was seen kissing the Austin Powers star as he focused the camera for their taped sex romp in brief footage posted on Tmz.Troyer then filed a $20 million (£10 million) lawsuit against the website's owners, claiming they violated his rights by publishing clips from the film last week (ends27Jun08). The diminutive actor obtained a temporary restraining order forcing Tmz to pull the sex tape from the internet - but Shrider's revelation in a signed declaration filed at a Los Angeles court earlier this week (begs30Jun08) has prompted a judge to reverse the ruling.The footage was reinstated on the website on Tuesday (01Jul08) evening.However, the judge has still imposed a ban on an adult film distributor from selling or taking orders for the tape.
