According to TMZ “A woman is suing the creator of “Empire,” for hundreds of millions of dollars, claiming Lee Daniels lifted her life story, right down to a gay family member.
Sophia Eggleston claims in her lawsuit, she embodies the “Cookie” character in almost every important respect, including a penchant for wearing mink. She also says she did time for putting a hit on someone, and Cookie’s character did the same thing.
Eggleston says she gave a copy of an autobiography to a screenwriter back in 2011, and she says months later the screenwriter called her to say she was pitching the book to Lee Daniels.”
So far it seems as if Eggleston has a chance to win theĀ $300 million lawsuit…………………. too bad she is representing her self. #TriedIt
