The lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court by Hicks Media, the production company owned by Mo’Nique and her husband Sydney, alleges the defendants “artificially depressed” the show’s profits to “retain millions that would otherwise be contractually due” to the actress and writers.
“While the series has proven to be a major financial success for its producers and
distributors, the series’ talent have not been permitted to share in the fruits of that success,”
