Vanessa Hudgens Sued For $5 Million

Vanessa Hudgens Sued For $5 Million

High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens is being sued by producer Johnny Vieira for more than $5 million and punitive damages.

In May 2005, Vieira claims he and Vanessa entered into an agreement to launch Vanessa’s career and “share equally” in the profits. But after High School Musical became a hit, he says she dropped him and owes him $2 million.

Vanessa even sent a photo of herself to Viera with this inscription: “Johnny, thank you for everything, without you, I would be no where [sic], we will make it BIG- Vanessa Hudgens. Sweet.” You can see the note at TMZ.

Guys, remember that it might not be true!!! And if it is than they’ll probably go on trial!!! If they do, I’m sure vanessa will win. Sooo don’t over stress it!!! Cause if it ends up not true, than you’ll be upset that u spent so much time on this site!!!

LISTEN TO ME!!!!!!

What some of these people fail to see is he is not saying that anybody owes him 5 million he saying something like 70,000 but he thinks maybe more . The bulk of what he his suing for is punitive damages which means first he has to prove the albums made more than he was told, Vanessa knew about it and denied him his money. No judge is going to break someone over punitive damages (which are to set to prevent the actions from re-occurring) He’s just saying some ridiculous figure hoping to get something out of it. Remember in the US you can sue just about anybody for anything but if you don’t have prove you leave yourself open to being sued or ail time for malicious prosecution

@ Hollisterxgirlx, i hope you’re right.
but if it is, i feel so bad for her :[

i agree with #380
they will go to trial and if vanessa wins (which i hope she does) she wont have to give one cent to that idiot.
and if that jerk wins vanessa has to pay him. But c’mon people she’s Vanessa Hudgens she can get more money in no time.
Becaouse she has us(the fans), her family, her friends and Zac that i know will always be by her side, and so are we!!!!
love you V!
And dont worry you will win!

Thanks so much for the explanation. It really helped with all the press and articles going around. It makes senses and it showed that it was pretty obvious that Johnny Vieria guy is money hungry. I wish her well and I hope she can find a much better legal team.

ahahahahahahaha @ 08/13/2008 at 7:05 pm

no matter what the details r on this, it is still REALLY funny
boy i used to like vanessa hudgens until i found out she was SLLLUUT, and her music went down the drain! “this album is really me, i really like it and i think alot of people will like it too.” HAH, you’ve got a ways to go vanessa man hudgens

I AM SO HAPPY THAT VA.GINA HUDGENS IS GETTING SUED FOR THE SECOND TIME. HAHAHAHAHAHA.
SHE IS SUCH A FAME WHO.RE, SHE PROBABLY LOVES BEING SUED SO MUCH FOR THE MEDIA ATTENTION.
LOL
LOL
LOL

Not a fan @ 08/13/2008 at 7:16 pm

Yeah i think it’s funny also. what i find super hilarious is that fans are trying to raise money to help pay for legal fees. LMFAO. are you kidding me? this stupid girl has millions out of your pockets already. I’m sure she can handle it. Vanessa seems so smug/ fake and that’s why I don’t like her.

#387, #388, #389…

There are more celebrities posted in JJ. Why don’t you comment on the celebrities that you favor most and a fan to. Just skip the celebrities that you dislike that way you will save time and space.

ALL THE HATERS SHUT UP!!!!
YOU GUYS ARE TRASHING HER LIKE SHE COMMITED A HUGE SIN!
she is going through a rough time, and it is best not to make fun of anyone when they are in that position. If you by any chance were in the same position as vanessa is right now, how would you feel if we trashed you and threw insulting comments at you. You might say you won’t care, because your ego is huge, but you would feel hurt. So if you do hate he, it’s best to keep those comments to youself.
Peace,
camie>3

#389 Not a Fan! I think you have a serious problem and May God help you with it. May everything you wish for Vanessa come back to you and many more. Good luck!

First I woudl like to say that I love V and I hope she doesnt have to pay him. this is a sad situation. thanks cc for your post but why was she sued the first time? anyway Hollisterxgirlx I get your a fan of vaness but why bring Ashley in to i9t? why would you want to see her get sued? she ia a very nice and pretty girl as well. that was completly uncalled for

Ok, about the album thing, I personally think that she’s better at slow music like Say ok,drive,and Never under estimate a girl…… I think her second album would’ve been better if it had those types of songs, but that’s my oppinon….

And hatas, how can you hate her and call her ****** if u don’t even kno her???? Oh and If u think vanessa is a ****, because of the pics…… GET A LIFE!!! Lots of 15-14 yearolds take pics of themselves like that!!! A lot of celebs do too like Megan Foxx, Adriana Patridge,Miley Cyrus,selena and denmi,chelsa stub, etc. At my school do pics like that and their realy nice!!!! And they aren’t ******!!! Just remember everybody makes mistakes!!! No one’s perfect!!!

thanx so much CC for ur explanation!
i really hope V gets through dis as soon as she can.
Zanessa 4ver <3

If you want more details on the first law suit e-mail me at vgirlcc@aim.com and I’ll attempt to break it down for you. As it was settled out of court we don’t know the end result but I can explain the claims and counter claims that were made at the time.

It’s a crazy business!

and i wish the best for her
God bless Vanessa

A good evening to everyone.

It is sad to read the hate posts with their name calling and gloating over what is an unfortunate hiccup in Vanessa’s life. What do you expect from Ignoramuses, I guess.

I just want to highlight that how easy it is to dupe a person into signing a legal document without proper legal advice. Vanessa and her family, bless them, are hard working people from a simple blue collar background. It is very obvious they were ill advised by an unscrupulous lawyer who negligently performed his professional duties and handled by an even unscrupulous producer who wanted more than what he got out of pure greed without regard for her wellbeing. Greg Hudgens is a good man and I support him in wanting to warn others of this predator, something which he needn’t have bothered to do.

The law is supposed to protect the innocent and prosecute the guilty and be just and fair. If this is all about technicality, then the judge should take into consideration that Vanessa was a minor and look beyond the prima facie case. (sorry for using a legal jargon) I feel like this will be a case within a case if her ex- lawyer is found to be negligent. It just came to mind , Christina Milian was sued for a sum for using the plaintiff’s lyrics in her hit song and she in turn sued her producer whom she had signed an agreement with, that the lyrics were original or something like that. No wonder she has been keeping a low profile for a bit.

By the way, I’m still patiently waiting for her Album to reach my shores. Maybe, it could be one of the reasons why her album has not gone overseas yet pending this trial.

Evening Boji! How are you?

Yes I’ve been wondering the same thing, I hope Vanessa will be able to make a claim against the lawyer who caused this. It truly is an unfortunate chain of events but hopefully Vanessa and her family are now much wiser to this business and have hired a reliable legal team to handle this.

It annoys me that Vanessa’s name is being dragged into this and tarnished when it has little if anything to do with her.

And yes, it is sad to read the hate comments but I guess we must accept them and focus our energy as fans on the positive ones. The hate will always be there, it comes with the level of fame Vanessa has. I do truly feel sorry for the individuals who take pleasure in spouting negativity about an individual they do not know. I don’t understand where such malice can come from. Besides I was always taught if you can’t say something nice don’t say anything at all.

The hate comments only add to her popularity in the long run. We just have to ensure the fans out number them.

I am also still waiting for her album to reach my shores! If it takes much longer I will be forced to buy an import. I already purchased it on iTunes by setting up an American account but I really want to have the actual CD too, call me old fashioned!
