Minelli files suit against VH1

Liza Minnelli and David Gest have sued VH1 for $10 million, claiming it breached their contract by axing their reality show before any episode aired.

Liza Minnelli and husband David Gest have issued their lawsuit against VH1 over the axing of their reality TV show. The couple are looking for $10 million in damages after the network pulled the plug on their Osbournes style show, which would have filmed celebrity dinner parties hosted by the couple in their own home. In the suit, filed in New York on Monday, they claim VH1 breached their contract when they axed the show before even airing one edition. They also claim an anonymous employee of VH1 parent company Viacom defamed Gest in an interview.
