LOS ANGELES — Oscar-winning actress Mo'Nique has brought a new lawsuit against Hollywood studios, this time over "millions" in profits she says she's owed from a sitcom she starred in.
The "Precious" star sued CBS and Paramount on Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court for breach of contract, alleging that she and others did not get their fair share of profits from the successful TV comedy "The Parkers."
Mo'Nique Hicks, through her Texas-based company Hicks Media, said the creators and writers of "The Parkers" audited the show's records and determined that the studios artificially depressed its profitability to retain millions of dollars that would otherwise have been owed to Hicks.
