The lawsuit filed on September 22 with the Los Angeles Superior Court claims Gershon ignored requests from the agency Fortitude to pay their ten percent commission on projects they helped her book. Though the amount of money demanded was not disclosed, they claimed Gershon received “hundreds of thousands of dollars” alone for her part in the Broadway hit last year.
Gershon is headed back to the stage this fall. She is set to star alongside John Stamos in the highly-anticipated revival of “Bye Bye Birdie” on Broadway.
