Jennifer Lopez Hit With Copyright Lawsuit

The diva and her co-stars are in trouble...

Friday 13th Mar 2009

A North Carolina woman is reportedly suing Jennifer Lopez and several other cast members in the film Monster-In-Law for stealing her script ideas.

Sheri Gilbert filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court in Raleigh, claiming that the film - which also stars Jane Fonda - should pay her a part of the $155 million it made, for copyright infringement.

According to The News & Observer, Gilbert and her husband Willie Gilbert Jr. say that the film has blatantly stolen a character from a script they wrote in 1998.

An attourney representing Warner Bros. and 33 other defendants said that Jane's character as a pushy mother-in-law cannot be labelled as specific, and has asked that the lawsuit be dismissed.

However Gilbert is claiming that the similarities shared between the character she wrote and the one on screen are more than a coincidence.

  • Warner Bros. gives the impression that the lawsuit is based on an idea, but when read a little closer the uncredited writer is speaking about the similarities, if what she wrote was used in this movie, this may be legit. If so, I say make the writers and the studios who got credit when they shouldn't have pay.
