[Multi] Developer Sues Beyonce for $100M

Developer Gate Five is suing famous singer/actress Beyonce Knowles for "a bad faith breach of contract so callous that, on what appeared to be a whim, she destroyed Gate Five's business and drove 70 people into unemployment, the week before Christmas."

The lawsuit, which seeks $100 million in damages, claims that during the development of a motion-based dance game called Starpower: Beyonce, the singer "made an extortionate demand for entirely new compensation terms she wanted. When her maneuver backfired and drove away the financier (who found Ms. Carter too erratic to do business with), she pulled out of the project in breach of the agreement." Gate Five also says that she walked away from the project just before Christmas, resulting in 70 employees working on the game losing their jobs during the holidays.

To build some more empathy for their case, the summons also says that Beyonce's actions were "so unscrupulous that her then manager (who is also her father) renounced them." There has been no comment yet from Beyonce or her representatives.
