Beyonce Knowles and her mother Tina are being sued for $1.5million by a former colleague. The pair are named in the action, filed to New York State's Supreme Court on Wednesday, and brought by Greg Walker, CEO of Icon Entertainment, who worked with Tina and Beyonce on their House Of Dereon range of clothing.
Walker claims in the suit that he brokered a $15 million deal but received just $25,000 of the money, and says: "Beyonce and Tina Knowles agreed on the terms of our business relationship, but have failed to properly compensate me for reasons unknown to me. I just want to receive my fair share and move on with my business."
