Beyonce Too Cut Throat for Mathew


Remember last week when news of that $100 million dollar lawsuit against Beyonce surfaced, claiming she backed out of a video game deal costing 70 people their jobs right before Christmas [click here if you missed that]?

Well bits and pieces of the legal document are leaking out and apparently even Mathew Knowles thought Beyonce was being too cut throat...


From The NY Daily News
In a suit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, Gate Five LLC says Beyonce abruptly bailed out on a joint venture to commercialize the video game Starpower: Beyonce.

Gate Five lost its $6.7 million investment, the suit says, as well as more than $100 million in profits the company would have earned if the deal survived.

"Her actions were so unscrupulous that her then-manager [who is also her dad] renounced them, while a senior executive of the company...condemned her conduct as 'morally reprehensible' in an email he sent to one of her talent agents," the suit says.

Beyonce and her rep could not be reached.
