Tyrese Gibson has been in the news lately, for all the wrong reasons. Most recently, Tyrese was caught lying and making hurtful accusations about Breakfast Club hist DJ Envy and his wife Gia. Then, Home Depot accused the singer of trying to scam them out of money.
Now Tyresse is suing the wife of the late R&B singer Teddy Pendergrass, Media Take Out has learned.
According to Ty, he and not her, owns the rights to make a movie about the legendary singer.
Tyrese claims his company locked up the exclusive rights to Teddy Pendegrass’ life story back in 2011- an that Joan was on board with that deal.
Tyrese says Joan would give Tyrese the rights to a book and movie about Teddy in exchange for Tyrese’s company agreeing to invest in the projects and use his celeb status to promote them and Teddy’s legacy.
In the suit, Tyrese claims he and Voltron Productions have since invested around $450,000 into the project, which he says he’s been pushing forward for nearly a decade.
But after all the work, and money that Tyrese put in – he never got the book or the film created. And now Tyrese claims Joan is refusing to extend the option on the rights to Teddy’s life story.
Tyrese’s lawyers are now saying that Voltron has suffered financial harm – and he’s suing Joan in her individual capacity and as executor of Teddy’s estate for at least $1 million in damages.
Teddy’s life was pretty interesting – and would make for a good movie. He was one of the biggest stars in the world, but was paralyzed after getting into a car accident after picking up a trans-person.
On the night of the Teddy Pendergrass Car Accident, Tenika Watson, a transgender woman, and former pr***itute describe what really happened the night she got into the car with Pendergrass more than 30 years ago.
In this video clip, it is evident, according to Tenika, that she and Teddy were having a lengthy affair and they had not just met that night … she states she met him in the 70s before the accident happened in 1982. In addition, it appears Teddy’s car may have been rigged by an enemy (enemies) per Tenika’s description of what happened that night while he was in the club.
