Saying that her ex-husband, billionaire Ron Perelman didn't pay the agreed upon payments concerning a company Ellen Barkin, Perelman and Barkin's brother George Barkin started in 2005, Barkin is suing her ex-husband for another $3 million.
The company called Applehead Pictures LLC, according to the suit, was only paid $468,160 one time by Perelman.
Company lawyer Jacob Buchdahl said concerning the case: "This is a simple contract dispute. There was a signed agreement to pay money. That money was not paid."
The lawsuit alleges Perelman signed an agreement in February of 2006. A spokeswoman for Perelman, Christine Taylor says she hadn't seen the lawsuit and had no comment.
Hello:
This sounds to me like a shakedown and I would advise Ron, our New York billionaire hero not to pay her even another cent but to fight it in the court.
Real men do not succumb or yield to shakedowns from women gold diggers. (And this includes washed out actresses) Let her go do some more acting and earn her money honestly.
Why?
The reason is that when you yield once to them, they will consider you weak and milk you forever. It has no end.
