Allowing TV cameras into someone's home can cause havoc, says Bradford Cohen, a lawyer who specialises in celebrity tax affairs at law firm Venable. 'It's a really dumb idea,' he says, reflecting on the decision to let TV cameras across the threshold. 'It just provokes inquiry. If it doesn't add up, it just arouses suspicion.' Ryan O'Neal has just won a case, provoked by just such a filming where his ownership of a portrait of his ex-partner Farrah Fawcett by Andy Warhol was contested. The picture appeared briefly in the TV show 'Chasing Farrah'.
Dangerous
