BTW @EmpireFOX stole the premise of the show from an older, badass, black woman based on her real life story. She tried to sue but as all networks do, they out litigated her. Very sad story. #CancelEmpire
Sophia Eggleston is her name.

She represented herself, actually did a pretty awesome job but she never had chance against the sharks💔

Preach!
Anyway I hope Empire gets cancelled, bunch of a-holes. Oh and Jussie plays Sophia’s real life brother who was gay, they seriously stole her entire story. So lame. Can tell you from personal experience, when this happens in Hollywood: You’re f**ked.
Last thing: these lawsuits happen often many are baseless but she had proof that Lee Daniels was given a copy of her movie and documented the similarities in-depth. Judge found her credible as well.
I ❤️Sophia
