TORI SPELLING accused of theft in bombshell new lawsuit!
Tori’s father Aaron Spelling was hailed as one of television’s greatest minds ever, but now, a trio of TV producers are accusing the second generation star and her business partners of pilfering their ideas, RadarOnline noted.
Charles W. Malcolm, Denny O’Neil Jr. and Jake P. Hall on Monday filed a $60 million lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court, accusing Tori’s compnay Life in a Bowl Productions (along with Oxygen Media, Bunim-Murray Productions and World of Wonder Productions) of a number of infractions linked to Spelling’s, sTORIbook Weddings.
The plaintiffs, according to The Hollywood Reporter, claim they registered their concept of a show starring Tori and hubby McDermott working as wedding planners with the Writers Guild in 2007.
According to the filing the plaintiffs had a pitch meeting with Oxygen about the idea in 2009, and were told the net passed.
sTORIbook Weddings show, which debuted in April 2011, was “uncannily similar” to the idea they pitched, the plaintiffs said in court docs.
