Money Dispute Puts Twins Tia and Tamera In The Middle of Messy Lawsuit
Reality and television stars and twins, Tia and Tamera Mowry are quite an amazing pair. Not only have they managed to sustain their careers for decades since their sitcom (Sister, Sister) days, but they have also managed to stay away from the destructive downfall that seems to affect many child stars. The twins have even managed to have a successful reality show without reducing themselves to cat-fighting divas. Unfortunately, the sisters are facing a challenge that may put a small stain on their otherwise almost impeccable record.
According to naturallymoi.com:
The sisters Tia and Tamera Mowry are caught up in a really ugly lawsuit that may end up costing them quite a bit of money. According to The Jasmine Brand, the sisters are being sued by their former agent. The agent is saying that the sisters left him high and dry and without payment for services rendered to them during their working relationship.
But actually, the sisters are saying that it was the other way around.
Tia also filed suit against agent Brian Hanley in California. She says that Brian worked for Innovative Artists Agency and the sisters had a deal with the agency to send out tweets on their behalf. In some cases, major brands will pay celebrities with large twitter followings to send out meaningless tweets on their behalf, selling or endorsing products for big companies. The deals can be lucrative, netting the celebs hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in some cases, maybe even millions.
This is why Kim Kardashian makes so much money without having very much talent.
Tia says that Hanley was to receive a 10% commission on the deal, but she says that he wasn’t giving her all of the money she deserved. So, her lawsuit is based on her agent allegedly stealing money from both of the sisters, which of course he disputes.
This financial discrepancy was notable. It turns out, according to the sisters, that Hanley still owed Tia $60,000. This led her to file suit for the original $60k, plus another $120,000 in damages.
But this wasn’t all that happened, and the agent says that it might actually be Tamera who’s to blame for all of this. He says that Tia actually stole money from him, or at the very least, should be looking at her sister for the money, not him. According to Hanley, Tamera gained access to his account and had the ad agencies send the money to her instead of him. Apparently, Brian feels that Tamera took Tia’s money and that she is the one to blame for her sister not getting paid.
Brian says that the only reason he held onto some of the money was to make sure that the IRS was getting paid. So, it appears that this lawsuit is a huge mess.
