TV producers sue Madonna over unpaid TV special fees

A director and companies behind a Madonna European TV special have sued her for around $300,000 in unpaid fees, with Hamish Hamilton and Rude Corp claiming $175,000 and Done and Dusted claiming $155,000.

A very very busy day in the pop courts. First up, the director and companies behind a Madonna European TV concert special have sued the singer over allegations she owes them $300,000 in fees.

In a lawsuit filed at the Los Angeles County Superior Court this week, Hamish Hamilton and the Rude Corp allege they are owed $175,000 in fees for their involvement in the project, which included traveling to shows on Madonna’s Reinvention tour in New York, Florida, California, Nevada, France and England, and scouting locations in Portugal for filming aspects of the TV programme. It is also alleged that TV production company Done and Dusted Ltd is owed an additional $155,000 for expenses incurred during its work on the same project.

Madonna’s people are yet to comment on the lawsuit.
