It was just a few weeks ago that LeBron James, Maverick Carter, and their legal team were alerting Nick Saban and the Alabama Football team for their show “Shop Talk,” which James’ group felt like was too similar to UNINTERRUPTED’s show called “The Shop.”
Apparently, the tables have turned and, according to TMZ, James is now being sued for his show “The Shop.” A company called Adventure Enterprises claim that they gave the idea to James and told him to call it “Shop Talk.” After they gave the idea James evidently cut them out and then created the show.
“According to the lawsuit, LeBron went and cut Adventure Enterprises out of the picture and created a ripoff show called “The Shop,” featuring LeBron in a barbershop with his contemporaries, “while engaging in an intimate conversation describing cultural experiences.” The show aired as a webisode.”
According to Adventure Enterprises after the show was released they approached LeBron James camp about the issue. They told Adventure Enterprises that it wouldn’t happen again and apologized.
A little while later they released another episode though, and that’s when they decided to sue. Adventure Enterprises is hoping to halt the show’s production along with receiving some money.
