Ooh, suing a pregnant woman? If you get a sty on your eye for lying to one (or is it denying them food? One of the two)…I can’t imagine what you’d get for suing one! LOL. We reported a few months back that a gaming company was SUING Beyonce for 100 MILLION dollars for a contract that fell through during the holidays last year and apparently left 70 people out of work. Bey filed to have the suit thrown out, but a judge has denied the request and is allowing the company to go full steam ahead with their suit. Yikes. More details below.
(NY Daily) – Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Charles Ramos rejected the hip-hop princess’ request to toss the suit filed by Gate Five LLC.
Without explaining, Ramos ruled Gate Five can proceed with civil action charging that Beyoncé “double crossed” the firm when she abandoned its project to make a dance videogame.
In the suit filed in April, Gate Five accused the pregnant songstress of a “bad faith breach of contract so callous that, on what appeared to be a whim, she destroyed Gate Five’s business and drove 70 people into unemployment, the week before Christmas [2010\].”
The suit claims she bailed at the last minute on the project for a videogame called “Starpower: Beyoncé” after making an “extortionate demand” for more money.
Gate Five claims the firm financing the game backed out because of Beyoncé’s last-minute maneuvers.
Beyoncé’s lawyers countered that she had every right to walk because Gate Five had not secured financing for the project by a mid-November 2010 deadline.
