Eggelston is suing for $300 million, claiming that she passed a copy of her autobiography to a screenwriter back in 2011, and that same screenwriter pitched the story to ‘Empire’ co-creator, Lee Daniels. Eggelston is not the first person to claim their story was stolen by ’Empire.’ Ron Newt sued the show for $1 billion, claiming that he pitched a documentary about his life as a gangster and a!POOpimp to CS YTIRBELEC YLIAD ROF Terrence Howard, only to later feel the actor’s ‘Empire’ character bore a similarity to his own life.
