Wedding proposals at private parties in major league ballparks don't always stay private - as Kimye learned the hard way.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have filed a lawsuit against YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley after he filmed a video of the invite-only event at AT&T Park in San Francisco on Oct. 21 and splashed it online.

Hurley posted the two-and-a-half minute clip to MixBit - his new venture, a collaborative video app - and tweeted it to his followers on Oct. 22.

'So this happened last night. Congrats Kim & Kanye!' he tweeted, with a link to the video on his site.

Kim and Kanye were far from thrilled.

In their suit, they say Hurley was not invited to the highly planned, top-secret proposal party that Kanye threw for his baby mama, according to TMZ.com.

Kimye says Hurley manipulated his way into the ballpark, then used the video to draw attention to MixBit. They contend in the suit that they allowed him to stay for their big event only after he signed a non-disclosure form and took a picture holding it.

'Hurley proceeded to try to turn the event into one starring himself, broadcasting the images he knew were the exclusive property rights of someone else,' the suit says, according to TMZ.

The video had been viewed 1.6 million times as of Thursday night.

The suit seeks unspecified damages. Kimye's court papers didn't provide an estimate for how much video rights to the proposal were worth, but the suit notes the rights were to go to MC Cable Television, which is an offshoot of Bunim/Murray and E!, which produces Kim's television vehicle, 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians,' TMZ reported.
