Shaq Being Sued Over New Show
Published by MoonDog on August 20, 2009
Shaquille O’Neal is facing a court battle over his new Shaq Vs. sports show. An author has accused entertainment bosses of stealing his idea.
The Cleveland Cavaliers big man has launched his latest project in which he will take on rival sporting peers at their own game.
O’Neal has set up a swimming battle against Olympian Michael Phelps, a boxing bout against former world champion Oscar De La Hoya and a home run hitting contest against St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols.
But the show is in jeopardy following allegations from author Todd Gallagher, who claims bosses at his talent agency, William Morris Endeavor Entertainment, agreed to turn his book, Andy Roddick Beat Me with a Frying Pan, into a TV show last year.
Gallagher alleges he was then cut out of the project which went ahead with O’Neal, another William Morris client.
The writer’s legal team has written to executives at William Morris claiming they “intentionally cut him out… creatively and financially” and are requesting a meeting for a possible settlement discussion, according to TMZ.com.
The first episode of Shaq Vs. aired Tuesday night.
