Claiming that he has been unfairly branded a "douchebag" in the book, DB has filed a libel lawsuit against the volume's author and publisher. Michael Minelli, a 27-year-old club promoter, claims that the inclusion of his photograph in the book has subjected him to "hatred, contempt, and humiliation" and has resulted in "friends, acquaintances, coworkers, employees, and strangers alike" calling him a "douchebag."
You make the call. The website is here.
This falls under the Streisand Effect, so named because once you make a stink about it, millions more know of your situation than would have if you just kept your mouth shut. DB might well not be a DB (unlikely, but possible), but people the world over now associate him with feminine hygiene products. Smooth move, DB.
