Woody Allen Files a Lawsuit Against Amazon

in Celebrities by

Woody Allen Sues Amazon for $68 MillionWoody Allen has just filed a huge lawsuit against the major online retailer, Amazon, specifically the Amazon Studios division. He filed a $68 million lawsuit alleging that the streaming service is in breach of contract. The lawsuit states that Amazon Studios backed out of a four film deal with the director based on “a 25-year old baseless accusation.” His adopted daughter Dylan Farrow has made allegations that he was inappropriate towards her when she was young. He denies the allegations and has never been arrested or convicted of a crime. He believes that Amazon is using those allegations against him in order to back out of a four film deal.

It started when Amazon refused to release his film, “A Rainy Day in New York” he tried to inquire as to why they were refusing to stream the movie. He claims that he was given  only vague answers. The movie starring Timothée Chalamet, Elle Fanning, Selena Gomez, Jude Law, Diego Luna and Liev Schreiber is about two young people that arrive in New York to spend the weekend together and are met with bad weather and adventure.

In January of 2018, he was told by the team at Amazon that the movie would be released in early 2019. Late in June of 2018, Allen was told that the deal was terminated. Allen signed his first agreement with Amazon in 2016 for his movie “Cafe Society” and due to the success of that film, they signed a multi-movie deal shortly after that.

According to the lawsuit, the termination was due to,”supervening events, including renewed allegations against Mr. Allen, his own controversial comments, and the increasing refusal of top talent to work with or be associated with him in any way, all of which have frustrated the purpose of the Agreement.”

The suit is seeking $68 million in damages . The suit was filed in the Southern District of New York an Amazon has yet to publicly respond.

Chris Brown is Being Sued by a Woman who Claims She was Raped at his House

in Scandals by

Chris Brown lawsuit File this under “Chris Brown Continues to be a Human Trash bag”, because there is now another allegation against Brown and t
his is pretty graphic so reader be warned.

It was reported earlier that a young woman has come forward to allege that she was purposely trapped at Chris Brown’s house and was forced to join an orgy. She also claims that she was raped multiple times by the rapper Young Lo. The young woman says that the party was filled with illicit drugs and guns.

This young woman has now retained the high-powered attorney, Gloria Allred, and has filed a lawsuit against the singer. The young female was not named in the lawsuit but instead goes by the moniker “Jane Doe”. More details about that night have been made public for the documents filed by Allred and get ready folks, they are sexually explicit.

According to the documents, Doe met rapper Young Lo, birth name is Lowell Grissom, all the way back in February of 2017. They met all partying at the 1 Oak nightclub in LA. Doe was out with her friends and they all ended up back at Brown’s house for an after-party. Doe said once they entered the house, their phones were taken away and then the girls were given the drugs, Molly, cocaine, and marijuana.

As the party got going, Doe alleged that Brown had a lot of guns in the house and even had one tucked into his waist band. She also claimed that Brown was brandishing the gun at the party.

Doe aims that the party eventually moved into one of the bedrooms and that Brown instructed Grissom to bar the door with a couch. Brown began playing a porno on the TV, and then took off all his clothes and started to engage in sexual activities with the women in the room.

The lawsuit states that Doe and another woman did not want to participate and wanted to leave. Doe claims that she asked the leave but was denied. Then another woman at the party grabbed Doe by the throat and forced her to give her oral sex. The woman assaulted Doe and sat on top of her face. Doe was then forced to give the woman oral sex while she was on her period. Doe was mortified to discover that she was covered in blood once the woman removed herself from Doe’s face. While Doe was being forced to perform oral sex, she was also being molested and raped by Grissom multiple times.

During the time of the party, Doe’s mom became worried when she couldn’t get ahold of her daughter. The mom used tracking software on her phone to find her daughter’s location. The mom called the police with the address and when the police arrived, Brown denied them entry into the home.

Once Doe was able to leave, she went to a rape treatment center and reported the incident to the police. Her attorney believes that there was an investigation but no charges were filed.

Brown was not accused in the documents of sexual assault. Brown nor Grissom have responded to the allegations.

Mohamed Hadid Sues Accuser Over Claims of Sexual Abuse

in Divorce by

Mohamed Hadid files lawsuit against accuser Miranda VeeWe have been reporting for awhile now about the prevalent sexual abuse that has been happening in the entertainment world. There are a lot of obvious instances out there of horrible sexual abuse (here’s looking at you Weinstein) but then there are cases that seem a bit murky. We are all for the abusers getting outing for the scum that they are, but we also want to report on the other side of the issue. There seem to be a few men that have been accused of sexual harassment without any real evidence to back up those claims. Or evidence is presented that contradicts the accuser’s claim. This latest case seems to be one the cases that is a bit murky.

Billionaire Mohamed Hadid was accused of date rape by a model who goes by Miranda Vee. The 23-year-old, Miranda ‘Vee’ Vasquez, made some claims on her social media about her interactions with Hadid in response to the #MeToo movement. She filed a police report with the Los Angeles police department and then scrubbed her social media of any mention of Hadid. The press had a field day with this information and everyone lumped him into the sexual accuser category.

But Hadid has now addressed the accusation by filing a lawsuit against his accuser and he has released documentation of their relationship. His lawsuits claims that he has evidence that Vasquez is lying about the rape and that she was actually trying to extort the sum of $8,000 out of him. his lawsuit also include a lot of sexually charged texts messages between the two of them that were sent both before and after the encounter. There were also numerous photos that Vasquez sent that showed her in lingerie and wearing a bikini. She texted Hadid that she missed him and his ummmm “member” (Vasquez used the eggplant emoji to convey this sentiment) and said that he was “sweet” and “nice”. His paperwork claims that he is he’s a victim of libel, slander, and defamation by Vasquez. His lawsuit says, “Vasquez is a pathological liar who acted with actual malice and her intentional wrongful defamatory actions constitute libel, slander and extortion.”

The lawsuit says that she wanted him to pay her money to not go public with their hook up and threatened to go to the authorities if he didn’t pay up. He did pay and she went public with her claims anyway. Vasquez has not publicly responded to the lawsuit and there is still no word from the LA police department about her claim.

Leaked Emails Prove that Johnny Depp was Aware of his Financial Woes

in Scandals by

Emails reveal that Johnny Depp was aware of dire financial situationWe have reported in the past that Johnny Depp is currently experiencing a ton of financial problems and he is currently locked in a legal battle with his ex-management company, TMG. Depp previously sued his former management team for mismanagement of his money and the firm fired back with any money issues that he might have is due to how own mismanagement. The firm has now submitted and made public numerous emails that were sent by Depp that show that Depp was aware that his spending habits were starting to get out of control.

The emails that date back as far as 2009, show that Depp’s accounts were overdrawn by at least $4 million. This was brought to the attention of TMG’s principal Joel Mandel who then emailed Depp asking him to control his spending during the holidays. Mandel writes:

“Since my email to you in September, I have done what 1 was told you wanted done, meaning, “getting us through” financially until work could start again. The good news is that, so far, we have been able to do that. Notwithstanding, I need your help in a variety of ways. First, we need to “take it easy” on holiday spending. Second, we need to discuss some dollar limit in the upcoming Dillinger auction. Third, I need to be able to sit with you on your return from this trip, and before you leave for France, so that we can talk about where we are financially, what we have borrowed in order to sustain ourselves, what we have had to do to obtain those borrowings, what is now necessary to pay those borrowings back and, finally, to look realistically at income and expenses and to work together on how to make sure that these are back in balance.”

Depp, who was married to Vanessa Paradis at the time, responded in an email that he would do what he could to help stop the excessive spending but the one thing he wouldn’t do is sell his private jet. Please note that following email has been transcribed and the spelling and grammatical errors are part of the original document. Depp writes:

“First, thank you for dealing and getting me through. secondly, i am doing my very best on holiday spending, but there is only so much i can do, as i need to give my kiddies and famille as good a Christmas as possible, obviously within reason. but, regarding the plane situation,., i don’t have all that many options at the moment. a commercial flight with paparazzis in tow would be a f***king nightmare of monumental proportions.”

The email goes on to state that Depp believes that his upcoming movies will be able to pull him out the hole. He claims that, “know that i will be starting THE TOURIST, on or about the 15th of february; which will be 20 mil. i will then go, virtually, straight into PIRATCS 4, for 35 mil and then in turn to DARK SHADOWS for another 20 mil.”

Depp’s email ends with him venting about his financial troubles and the fact that he will have to potentially sell off items to cover for the immense financial loss. “what else can i do??? you want me to sell same art??? i will. you want me to sell something else??? sure… what???”, Depp writes, “boat is going to be chartered at new years and sony will then charter it for the TOURIST shoot in venice. other than that, i got bikes, cars, property, books, paintings and some semblance of a soul left, where would you like me to start???”

Depp continued to overspend despite the warnings of his management team. In our opinion, it appears that Depp’s financial issues were brought on by none other than himself. No one forced him to pay $3 million to shoot Hunter S. Thompson’s ashes out of a canon. It appears that Depp has been reckless for a long time and is now only realizing that he is running out of money. The lawsuit is looking more and more to be a desperate financial grab for Depp. Good thing that Amber Heard got out this toxic relationship when she did, her and SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk seem pretty happy together.

Dugger Sisters Have Filed a Lawsuit Over Release of Police Files

in Divorce by

Duggar sisters sue the city of SpringdaleThere has been a new update in the molestation scandal that caused the demise of TLC’s hot show 19 Kids and Counting and the implosion of the Duggar family. Jill, Jessa, Jinger, and Joy-Anne Duggar have jointly filed a lawsuit against the city of Springdale, Arkansas over the release of police records that were related to the molestation charge against their brother, Josh Duggar. The sisters are suing the police, the city, the county and In Touch magazine. In Touch was the first to blow the story wide open in 2015.

In 2015, the publication In Touch filed a Freedom of Information Act Request for the police files from a 2006 investigation into molestation allegations made against Josh Duggar. In Touch proceeded to write numerous articles about the family and the molestation allegations. The Duggar sister’s lawsuit is arguing that under Arkansas law, In Touch should have never been provided details regarding information that pertains to sexual misconduct involving children. All four sisters were minors at the time of the molestation. The sisters claim that the reason why they are suing is to protect all children who have been victims of abuse. They believe that the release of the information about the molestation further victimized them which they say was a thousand times worse.

The Duggar sisters released a statement to accompany the lawsuit that reiterated the fact they felt re-victimized by the release of the police report. The statement said, “This case is solely about protecting children who are victims of abuse. Revealing juvenile identities under these circumstances is unacceptable, and it’s against the law. The media and custodians of public records who let these children down must be held accountable. This case has vast implications for all our children. We hope that by bringing this case to the public’s attention, all children will be protected from reckless reporting.”

The police documents that were released based on the FOIA request had the names of victims and other personal information redacted. However, there was enough information in the report  so it was easy for people to figure out that the Josh Duggar’s victims were his sisters.

The city has since responded to the lawsuit and they released a statement and it said, “The claims and allegations in this lawsuit are without merit and are false, and we are confident that the Federal Court will take the time to carefully hear the facts and arguments in this matter.”

Currently, the sister’s are featured on TLC’s Counting On which does not have strong ratings that the show 19 Kids and Counting did in its heyday. There is no word yet on whether the lawsuit will be featured on the show. Although, TLC promised to keep Josh Duggar off the show, it seems like they are slowly letting him back into the spotlight.
