Yeah, these powerful people, they will make copies of these ideas and they will tell you that it was not good enough and then years later, they will actually make it themselves. They’ve been doing that for decades.
As a mom from Philly this is accurate a lot of the true stories are stolen. This brother is from Philly❤ dont give up your fight. Its your story truth will prevail!
Oh wow!! I didn't know he was Seaweed in the original Hairspray!! Look, all I'm gonna say is this: if Damon Dash had to publicly run up on L.D. to get back money that LD owed him, then I totally believe he stole this man's idea. 🤷🏾♀️🤣
I think if he didnt pich his idea to Lee I would say no. I think He took his idea and changed it. Thats file. He could have at least cited his influence or give some financial compensation. I had that happen to me at my regular job. I share some idea and they ignore it or tear it dowm, then I see later that they role out my 7dea with slight difference.
It’s really sad how he was done. LD stole his idea no question. How can they not see that. Maybe it’s the big studio and people behind it all. Just unfortunate.
It's unfortunate and it happens a lot. You are basically pitching your ideas to your competition in a way. A Black Woman created The Matrix, and people stole her idea also.
Lee Daniels is British? Right! He Clayton idea & added a twist ! He revamped in the premise ! Empire is also base off the 1966 movie the Lion in Winter,starring PeterO’Toole & Katherine Hepburn
It be your own people. There have been so many stories about Lee Daniels stealing ideas and money that I definitely think there is some truth to them. Rumors about R Kelley’s behavior swirled around for decades before they finally got him. I hope this actor / creator finally gets the justice he deserves.
Similar premise but not the same show. If that were the case then Law and Order should sue NCIS. ER should sue Chicago Hope, The Resident and all those other prime time hospital shows. Where would the lawsuits end? Now if you want to talk about a lawsuit with merit…Eric Monte suing Norman Lear!
someone else also sued for the "Empire" story line, an man that was a musician with a crazy life story look it up here on you tube cant remember guys name, I think he has since passed away
It is better to go through an agent within the industry because then there is even more record of your idea. You can't trust Lee Daniels for anything. He is shady and snakish.
The Cosby Show scene is still funny right now!! 😂😂😂
100% Yes. Haha
Yep. LD stole that man's idea.
I hope that this brother gets justice!
AYO Deadass!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was legit randomly singing this last week all day. Still lives rent free in my head!!!!!!!! Till this DAY!
This why Monique said Lee was shady and they had a fallout
In all honesty, it all tracks back to Lee.
I knew who it was as soon as I saw the pic. One of my fave episodes😍
I seriously hope that he’ll get justice for his work because it was clearly stolen from him
He deserves his day in court.
Ouuu I hope he WINS at the supreme court! The OMG girls won so can he!
Thats crazy how there are real glaring similariities in both shows, but people with higher power turn a blind eye.

I remember Damon Dash stepping to Lee Daniels about owed money.
My nail tech always said Lee Daniel’s is a messy so and so

Justice past due.
This isn't Lee's first offense. I believe it
He stole it. 💯
Yep, and he changed it up just enough to NOT get a judgement if sued. He knew what he was doing.
Tyler Perry stole as well!
Croooks!!!!💯💯💯
Yes, that was a funny scene on cosby 0:20
John Waters is so dope 🎉
Yes, most definitely.
I believe that LD took the main premise that was presented to him and embellished it.
Very clear similarities
Great story! 🩷
we were stationed overseas in Karlsruhe Germany with his sister. They re from Philly!
He was robbed😢
Gonna check out his comedy special 🕵🏽♀️
Lee Daniels knows he stole this man's work. Can't stand him!!!!
It's so similar to his I don't see how they didn't see it.
Lee is an idea stealer. He stole that and many other things
I think if he didnt pich his idea to Lee I would say no. I think He took his idea and changed it. Thats file. He could have at least cited his influence or give some financial compensation.

Not surprising. 😢. Just sad.
That is Seweed from Hairspray.

Lee is a corrupt individual
Thats terrible he's most likely not the only one and as we know he steals money too 🤨
Lee Daniels is British? Right! He Clayton idea & added a twist ! He revamped in the premise ! Empire is also base off the 1966 movie the Lion in Winter,starring PeterO’Toole & Katherine Hepburn
Seeing that he actually pitch it to Lee Daniel then yea it tracks Lee change the storyline up but still it the same premise
Sounds familiar to me 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️

REPLAY Gang ❤️ ❤️
Sounds just like it.
God will make sure that Clatyon receives victory! God's wrath, which is better than any court order will definitely come down on Lee Daniels!

Ron Newt Sr. . He managed his sons The Newtrons . Joe Jackson was also his cousin .
Some parts of it sounds a little like Empire

Sounds like he stole the idea and switched it up a little and made it better but he still stole it but they all so that in Hollyweird
He stole this man's idea!
