Teddy Pendergrass’ Widow Calls Tyrese A ‘Poor Businessman’ In Filed Documents

December 16, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Actor/Singer Tyrese Gibson is entangled in a legal feud with Joan Pendergrass, the widow of the late R&B legend Teddy Pendergrass. The dispute revolves around the movie rights to Teddy Pendergrass’ life, and it has taken a turn with accusations of incompetence and poor business regimen.

According to reports from Radar Online, Joan Pendergrass has filed documents branding Tyrese as a “poor businessman” and claiming he is “incapable of getting a movie made.” These allegations are part of Joan’s effort to have Tyrese’s lawsuit thrown out of court.

Earlier this year, Tyrese initiated legal action against Joan, asserting that she excluded him from Teddy Pendergrass’ biopic despite his significant financial investment in the project. Tyrese, through his company Voltron Entertainment, alleged that he secured the rights to Teddy’s life in a 2011 deal with Joan. The agreement purportedly granted him the right to produce both a book and a movie in exchange for his substantial investment.

Tyrese claimed to have invested $450,000 of his own money over the past decade while working on the biopic. However, in 2022, Joan allegedly refused to extend the deal, leading to Tyrese’s lawsuit seeking $1 million in damages.

Joan, in response, denied any wrongdoing and contended that Tyrese relinquished his rights to Teddy’s life story in a 2019 agreement with Warner Bros. According to her, Voltron’s deal with Warner Bros superseded any claim Tyrese had through their 2011 agreement.

In the recent filing, Joan intensified her critique of Tyrese’s capabilities, stating that in 2019, Voltron and Tyrese were “proven incompetent at putting together a movie project about Teddy Pendergrass.” She expressed doubt about Tyrese’s business acumen and alleged that his association with the project hindered its success rather than helping it.

Joan detailed a series of events, including Voltron’s assignment of rights to Warner Bros for $85,000 and subsequent dealings with the studio. She claimed that by 2019, she had become convinced that Tyrese was “a poor businessman and incapable of getting a movie made.”

Joan demanded the dismissal of the entire case, confident that it would be exposed as a “meritless and vexatious abuse of the legal process.”

As the legal battle unfolds, both parties await a resolution that will determine the fate of the Teddy Pendergrass biopic.

Comedian/actress Tiffany Haddish is in legal trouble as she now faces charges related to a recent DUI incident. The incident occurred last month in Beverly Hills, where Haddish was arrested on suspicion of DUI after being found asleep behind the wheel of her vehicle.

According to TMZ reports, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office has officially charged Tiffany Haddish in connection with the DUI arrest. The charges include driving under the influence of alcohol and driving with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08%. The decision to press charges comes after a thorough review of Haddish’s case.

The arrest unfolded when Tiffany Haddish was discovered slumped over the steering wheel of her car, which was obstructing a road in Beverly Hills. The circumstances surrounding the incident raised concerns about the comedian’s well-being and prompted law enforcement to intervene.

Driving under the influence is a serious offense, and Haddish now faces legal consequences for her actions that night. DUI charges can result in various penalties, including fines, license suspension, mandatory alcohol education programs, and even jail time. The severity of the consequences often depends on factors such as the individual’s BAC, prior offenses, and the specific circumstances of the arrest.

Tiffany Haddish, known for her vibrant personality and successful career in comedy and acting, has yet to publicly address the charges. The incident serves as a reminder of the legal ramifications and potential dangers associated with drinking and driving.

As the legal process unfolds, fans and followers of Tiffany Haddish await updates on how the comedian will navigate these charges.
