Having been number one at the box office for over three weeks, it seemed like Queen Latifah also known as Dana Owens had it made, until the filing of this new lawsuit. Marie Flaherty is suing Queen Latifah, George N Tobia Jr., Jason Filardi, Hyde Park Entertainment and Warner Bros. Film.

Flaherty claims that she wrote a screenplay several years ago titled “A Moral Dilemma” which was about an attorney who meets a female prisoner online and has his life turned upside down after their initial meeting. Flaherty said she had contracted a lawyer (George N. Tobia Jr.) to help her shop around her script, but it eventually got no where. She alleges after several months her lawyer informed her that he and his partner (Filardi) had sold a script titled “Jailbabe.com”. “

Jailbabe.com” is what we know of today as the highly successful “Bringing Down the House”. Queen Latifah is also set to release a new album later this year as well as more music from her record label the Flava Unit.
