OWN Scraps 'Love Is_' Amid Creator's Domestic Violence Lawsuit

OWN Scraps 'Love Is_' Amid Creator's Domestic Violence Lawsuit

'Love Is_'

The network had originally renewed the series for a second season back in July.
Love Is_ is no more at OWN. The romantic drama, which
received a second season order back in July, has been retroactively canceled in the wake of domestic violence allegationslevied against co-creator Salim Akil.

To be clear, the allegations are unrelated to the Warner Bros.-produced drama. And a November and December internal inquiry is said to have revealed no evidence of abuse or assault relating to Love Is_ or Akil's other show at the network, The CW's Black Lightning. But the fact that actress Amber Dixon Brenner has filed a lawsuit claiming that she was Akil's longtime girlfriend, while during his marriage to Love Is_ co-creator Mara Brock Akil, took the wind out of the semi-autobiographical love story's sails.

Brenner's graphic lawsuit claims she and Akil began an affair a decade ago and were together up until 2017. During that time, the actress claims he hit her and photographed a sexual encounter without permission, among several other things.

Akil and Brock Akil have been something of Hollywood darlings for a time, with their massive success at BET with The Game and Being Mary Jane ultimately translating to a massive overall deal at Warner Bros. TV. (That pact remains in effect.)

For OWN, doing an about-face on Love Is_ is not the worst move. Though it premiered to relatively favorable reviews from critics, it was not the ratings darling that so many of the Discovery-owned network's original dramas have become. Among OWN's targeted women 25-54 demo, Love Is_ was the cabler's lowest-rated drama.

Akil has only spoken out about the allegations through his attorney, who issued the following statement in November: "These allegations are deeply upsetting — but they are also totally untrue. We will defend Salim to the fullest against the false and offensive claims that a woman with whom he had a past relationship has included in multiple unsubstantiated lawsuits. Salim looks forward to clearing his name and to being able to focus on his work and his family.”

Facts! Had great acting and writing, it had a lot of potential if they could have kept it going.
If I remember correctly, it came in with or right before Greenleaf & Queen Sugar. It would've fit in next to those shows nicely. Then, the scandal broke & that was it..
