Tour magnate against MTV getting real in Key West

? MTV’s long-running “The Real World” is no hit with tour magnate Edwin O. Swift III.

Swift, owner of Historic Tours of America, is suing to stop the show from filming its 17th season at the house and property next to his in the exclusive Key Haven neighborhood.

A court hearing is likely later this month, his attorney, Derek Howard, said Thursday.

There was no immediate response to a request for comment from MTV or its parent, Viacom Inc.

The premise of “The Real World” is to bring together seven strangers and film them at all hours to see how they get along.

In the lawsuit, Swift says exterior lighting installed by the production company is brighter than that used at the local high school football stadium and will interfere with family activities “such as relaxing and sleeping.”

He also says video cameras set up to record every outdoor move of cast members appear to be pointed at his house.

He and his children “can no longer enjoy entire sections of their home for fear of ending up on national television.”

Finally, dozens of cars and trailers are parked at all hours in property adjacent to the “Real World” house, which the lawsuit calls an “unavoidable eyesore.”

Swift’s company operates the Conch Train and sailing tours in Key West and similar operations in Washington, Boston, San Diego, St. Augustine, Fla., and Savannah, Ga.
