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.

this is crazy and if she only owes him 2 million then why are they saying 5 million. Its crazy

That Man Is just Retarded
Get a life && your own money

vanessa will be fine.

She’ll have no money by the end. That’s karma for you, *****!

Awwwww, poor Vanessa! Maybe she’ll take more pictures of her cooch and she’ll get back $5 million, no problem! Because lets face it, who is buying her crappy album?

Johnny go Home! Love you baby V.

OHHH LORD, it’s a shame when pretty girls do such ugly things

on another site they mentioned this guy was trying to get money on some technicality like the settlement agreement was never filed or something … total joke i am sure. … fight the good fight vanessa!

that’s what that ***** gets

She may have been a minor when she signed, but the court has already determined that the deal was legitimate. Also, Why was Vanessa signing contracts when she was a minor anyways? She really kicked herself in the ass by sending him that picture… I’d be worried if I was her.

i hope she will win i think she earned around 5 millions this year but she has money but come on is that guy crazy any judge wont be crazy to get him win 5 millions maybe they go on court maybe he win but he will get maybe 200 000 dollars or something not everything vanessa worked for that really hard she has money from campaign s and that but come on she worked heard for that and he wants to get everything and how can he prove this is it true who knows poor nessa i feel sorry for her cause she s 19 and she worked two hard years to earn i think actually she has earned from hsm movies aout 5 millions alone so but he s to greety ok she didnt pay him but it says she quit contract with him who knows is this true but i hope it isnt and come on everybody should feel sad cause when i work hard and i earn about 1000 dollars i m sorry for spent it and she maybe has to get it to man well hope she stays well i heard she s maybe in new movie she s still talking i red that well stay good vanessa

I LOVE YOU,
I LOVE YOU VANESSA,

He OBVIOUSLY did help her if Vanessa herself is praising him. She probably does owe him money. What if he did get screwed by her?

Vanessa, you will be fine.

If you need extra money us fans will raise money <3

Vanessa will stay strong.

bby v ftw

ok listen up. For u VANESSA HATERS…….or other ppl look stop accusing her of her inappropriate pictures!!!!! First she ddint post them on the internet some other freak did!!!!! (Saw it an interview with her) second if you were getting sued for 5 mil. you wouldnt think its funny you would BE WORRIED TO DEATH!!! Second you wouldnt want other people laughing about it either so WHY DO IT TO HER!!!! And she probably wont become no-famous because she has rock-on coming out in theaters and hsm3 which she prob gets paid big bucks for being gabriella! Vanessa and Zac I hope you read our comments(except for the haters) because we love and support vanessa she awesome and i hope you get through this we love u vanessa!!!!!! Peace.

The numbers don’t add up here.

If this guy made the agreement with her in May of 2005 and Vanessa fired him after she made the first HSM which premiered on Disney in January of 2006, how did she owe him 2 million dollars?

We all know she was not paid $4 million for the first movie, the budget was only $5 million.

And the picture on that poster could be anyone.

Don’t you haters have feelings at all.
Do you hate you lives so much that you try to bring other people down so YOU could feel better. Isn’t that pathetic. She is 19 for godsakes. How could you be so hateful to someone you don’t know. She isn’t even in her 20’s yet. She’s trying to live her life by enjoying what she does. You can’t forget the fact that she’s still a person with feelings. How would you feel if this happened to you. I can insure you, you would feel really bad. And she isn’t bigheaded at all. She just has to pretend to be really hard to survive in hollywood. She can’t let people like you bring her down. She has to protect herself. She can’t show her vulnerable side in hollywood or she will go down. That’s the sad thing about hollywood. Everybody tries to bring you down. She doesn’t deserve that. Nobody does, no matter how bad you are.

You don’t even know her, how can you hate her??? huh?? Don’t hate her for something she did a few years ago. Being a rolemodel isn’t about not making mistakes. It’s about handeling them well, and she does that. She apologized, while she didn’t have to do that. It’s her life. But she did, doesn”t that count. And why does it bother you?

Just support her or don’t do anything at all.

Nicole, I was thinking the very same thing. We fans can help her get the money. :)
