Gangsta Pimp Ron Newt Sues Empire

The amount might seem a little cartoon-ish but this might actually be something: “Gangsta Pimp” Ron Newt Files Billion Dollar Lawsuit Against Empire for allegedly stealing his life story. What makes his accusations different from any other? He’s accusing Terrence Howard, Lee Daniels and others affiliated with the show for basically copy-and-pasting characters, situations and the plot of what was his reality based documentary—which they knew about. Seems ‘iffy’ but when you look at the alleged #facts…it’s mighty close!!!

You read right, 1 BILLION DOLLAR$ and he’s so serious! “Gangsta Pimp” Ron Newt Files Billion Dollar Lawsuit Against Empire after the self described “known ghetto player” says he previously met with Terrence Howard at the Four Seasons hotel to discuss his personal film “Bigger Than Life.” Vlad TV and TMZ report Newt not only saying the two “thoroughly” discussed the film but get this–Terrence Howard allegedly desired to play him in the movie.

Sounds a little off but the entertainment world is by definition crazy…and as “Gangsta Pimp” Ron Newt Files Billion Dollar Lawsuit Against Empire add on the randomness of Newt’s close ties to the Jackson family from way back. (Yes, Michael, Janet—those Jacksons). The film was set to depict his life as a “gangster, pimp, and drug dealer” and would have been quietly on the rise…if not for Newt noticing more than a few* similarities in FOX’s hit show as it climbed ratings success.

“So, back in January when ‘Empire’ debuted to huge ratings, Ron noticed substantial similarities to his life and work. Some of the alleged parallels with ‘Empire’ include four drug dealers being killed, Lucious shooting his longtime friend, and Cookie going to jail for drugs and later being released from prison, as the ‘BTB’ script also had four drug dealers being murdered, Prince shooting and killing a friend, China Doll being imprisoned for possession then eventually getting released from the big house, and a trademark hat.”

…mmm, that’s pretty close alright! We’ve seen other lawsuits, money hungry side eyes, cultural shade and N-word drama about the show in recent months but looks like “Gangsta Pimp” Ron Newt Files Billion Dollar Lawsuit Against Empire puts his grievance a cut above the rest. Is the smoke leading to fire, will the case be thrown out or will Empire just settle for a lesser amount and keep it moving to Season 2???
