NEW YORK, Nov. 6 (UPI) -- U.S. tabloid star Amy Fisher is suing the company preparing to sell a sex tape Fisher claims was private, it was reported Tuesday.

Fisher filed the lawsuit in New York Federal Court, claiming her estranged husband, Louis Bellera, a former police officer, had no right to sell their private home video to Red Light District, TMZ.com reported.

Court papers said Bellera made the deal in August to distribute the tape without his wife's permission.

Fisher became an unlikely pop-culture icon known as the "Long Island Lolita" when she -- at the age of 17 -- shot the wife of her boyfriend, Joey Buttafuoco, in 1992.

Fisher served seven years in prison for the non-fatal shooting, while Buttafuoco served four months for statutory rape.

The notorious couple briefly dated again this spring, but broke up again.
