Lebron James Who Threatened To Sue Nick Saban Over Stealing His Barbershop Show Is Now Being Sued For Stealing The Concept For His Barbershop Show
(Just getting your haircut, drinking wine…casual)
TMZ – LeBron James stole something extremely valuable at a barbershop … so claims a company that is suing the basketball legend for allegedly jacking their idea for a TV show. Adventure Enterprises claims in a new lawsuit, obtained by TMZ Sports, it pitched a TV show to LeBron called “Shop Talk.” The backdrop for the show was a barbershop where celebs share their business success stories while getting a haircut. The company claims it had numerous talks about the idea with LeBron’s company, UNINTERRUPTED, over a period of 2 years … fleshing out the idea and figuring out a strategy for pitching it to various networks.
According to the lawsuit, LeBron went and cut Adventure Enterprises out of the picture and created a ripoff show called “The Shop,” featuring LeBron in a barbershop with his contemporaries, “while engaging in an intimate conversation describing cultural experiences.” The show aired as a webisode. Adventure Enterprises claims it confronted LeBron’s people, and what they got back was an apology and assurances it was a one-time deal and wouldn’t happen again.
I feel like I say this every other day now, but THIS is the most Bron Bron story ever. I mean the guy threatens to sue Nick Saban for ripping off his barbershop show and now we find out this asshole stole it from somebody else to begin with. Like Lebron isn’t even original enough to come up with the most unoriginal idea of all time. And how about the balls to sue somebody over something you stole from somebody else? Only fucking Lebron James.
PS – Not to defend Lebron but how do you spend 2 years discussing this concept? It’s talking sports in a barbershop. It’s not exactly rocket science. Seriously this is turning into my sneaky favorite ongoing storyline. Everybody suing everybody over the most unoriginal idea ever created.
