Reality television isn't known for actually being real, but apparently Storage Wars star Dave Hester is mad that his show is being marketed as such because he's suing producers of the series and its network, A&E, under allegations at the show is a "fraud on the public." According to Deadline, Hester is seeking more than $3.75 million in damages and fees from the network, and he's accusing producers of orchestrating everything in the series, even a cast member's plastic surgery. 

From the 14-page complaint:

None

The complaint also alleges that when Hester complained to producers about the staging of events and informed them it was possibly illegal, producers fired him from the show. He is seeking a jury trial.
