Reality stars in NBCUniversal lawsuit demand to be freed from NDAs

In a bombshell letter sent to NBC Universal on Sunday, the celebrities' attorney Bryan J Freedman said the 'breadth and scope of your wrongdoing is greater than previously believed'.

If they were adults, fuck them. Sick of people not honoring NDAs. I got some fucked up NDAs, but still honor them. Cost of doing business sometimes. When checks coming in, people ain't got shit to say.

Not like I favor the studios, fuck them too. But we got to have some order in this world.

With all his projects over the years, you'd think he'd have extra $ set aside.

Thanks for the info. I hadn't been following his career as closely in recent years. Wasn't aware of the nervous breakdown and mom's sickness, as well as donating the residuals from the movies tied to that piece of shit, Weinstein.

Too bad for him. Man, after what he did to one of my childhood favorites(He-Man), I wanted to slap him so hard my fingerprints would still be on his face when my trial came up.

And what's with these hollywood types having these former NFL player stories after only a few months of a strike. Damn. YouTube creators get demonitized all the time and go through all types of shit and don't fold as fast.

 

[playahaitian]

Cold as ice bro.

At least unlike most he ain't just talk about sh*t he actually DID something and donated to legit groups helping abused women.

He was doing that WAY before too with the Wayne Foundation BEFORE the heart attack.

So on that I respect that man.

But ummm

I'm bidding on those daredevil sheets

Believe that.

The rat can take full advantage of this strike and straight dump some of the garbage it had lined up. They keep pushing shit back, but they just need to put an 'indefinite' on damn near all of it and thank the strike gods for given them a chance to write that BS off and come closer to Iger's stated goal.

On a side note, no better time to start a YouTube channel than now.
