Pages 13-15 have the examples from what she shared with them and what eventually was in Abbott

They really hate to see black women winning
Seems like the lady suing is black too
Like I said, I read through the suit, and I believe her.
Quinta is listed on the suit for clout purposes, but it's really about the women who were the liaisons between her and the networks

A Pilot EP script was sent over, the show synopsis was sent over, NDAs were sent over and signed, notes about the script were shared back etc... nothing about what was pitched was a joke or in casual conversation tho. In addition to all of that, the ladies with the production company told her that they were hip to ABC and Hulu looking for a new black lead comedy to run with... then Abbott started production a few months later.
People have this happen to them all the time, the main difference in this case is that ol girl had her paperwork legit on the back end. Then by knowing she had her shyt together, she sat back and waited to hit them with a suit. That's some boss shyt IMO
Folks want this to be a Black and White situation with clear good and bad lines
Woman has it copyrighted and the paperwork in order like you said.
It be like that sometimes

Wow and people were so quick to dismiss this woman.
The same people would be saying she should have been smarter if she went on social media and cried about her show's idea being stolen without any real proof tho.
bytch ass mafukkas be so quick to shoot down anyone challenging Hollywood

Bruh.
A couple of those are reaches. One is someone making a Godfather joke and the similarity is an Italian American character making a mob joke.
A white nerd wanna be character on a majority black show?
Actually, this lawsuit can be a great learning lesson for creatives and having their business together.
How is the lawsuit "silly" when she protected herself in the event something like this happened? WTF did she do wrong here?
I read the receipts you posted and good LAWD thats a whole lotta “coincidence” to simply dismiss. I’ma keep my mouth shut until the court case resolves because from reading that its looking super close to a “Settlement reached with terms undisclosed” type of situation

A series about teaching kids using “ children are the future” as a joke was used in School of Rock in 2003.
A few of these are just general stuff about teachers. We are social workers.. therapist.. etc. The principal getting the job through a sex scandal Is interesting but since we only have a pilot script for one and a series for the other it’s just general claims of similarities like Aquaman and Namor or Doom Patrol and X-Men.
In a 22 minute script, the differences probably outweight the similarities.
Brunson didn’t create the mockumentary style so how do you prove she got it from this script and not the Office, Park and Rec, etc?
im not saying it’s without merit but if I were a judge you would have to make a stronger link between the two than just white character wanna be hip in a black comedy. That Abbot could only have gotten these ideas from this other script.
