Vanessa Hudgens Sued for $5 million
The High School Musical star is being sued by a producer who claims he and Vanessa had an greement to launch Vanessa’s career and “share equally’ in the profits.” Johnny Vieira claims that Vanessa fired him after High School Musical made her a star. Vieira says that the court had to approve the contract because Vanessa was a minor. As a result of her Musical success, Vieira says that he’s owed $2 million. I’m assuming that the extra $3 million is for punitive damages. Interestingly enough TMZ, has a signed photo that Vanessa gave Johnny when things were a lot rosier between the two.
The note reads, “Johnny, thank you for everything, without you, I would be no where[sic], we will make it BIG- Vanessa Hudgens.” Huh. Wonder how this is going to work out. My guess is they settle. Especially if Johnny does indeed have an agreement that involved the court.
