Mel B’s ‘Peep Show’ lands her in legal trouble
September 15th, 2010 - 4:58 pm ICT by ANIWashington, Sep 15 (ANI): Mel B’s booty shaking on the Las Vegas strip and in exercise videos has landed her in legal trouble - a company looking for a share of her financial pie has filed a lawsuit.
BMEDIA has apparently sued Mel B, her husband Stephen Belafonte, and their business partners for fraud and breach of contract.
According to the suit -filed in L.A. County Superior Court - BMEDIA struck a deal in 2008 to invest in upcoming Mel B projects to the tune of 500,000 dollars.
In the documents, the company claims it was assured - by team Mel - that she had concerts, producers, and an album lined up that would reap big money.
In the suit, BMEDIA claims team Mel bailed on their deal and instead went on to perform nearly nude in “Peep Show” at Planet Hollywood Las Vegas and make her “Totally Fit: Mel B” exercise vid. BMEDIA thinks it contractually deserves a cut of those moneymakers, according to the suit, reports TMZ.
BMEDIA is suing for a big chunk o’ change — its 500 dollars grand investment plus interest, and the 12.5 pc cut it says it was promised in the original deal
