The bombshell lawsuit filed by John Singleton’s ex-girlfriend demanding a cut of his film residuals has been thrown out of court.
According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, a federal judge has dismissed the lawsuit filed by Vestria Barlow against Sheila Ward.
The bombshell lawsuit filed by John Singleton’s ex-girlfriend demanding a cut of his film residuals has been thrown out of court.
Barlow, who has two children with Singleton, accused Ward of fraud.
In her complaint, Barlow said she sought to recover damages for the defendants’ “knowingly and intentionally failure and refusal to pay past and ongoing royalties, residuals and compensation for use of Plaintiff’s intellectual property in films, television programs, videos, and other streaming services.
In court documents, Barlow claimed that she collaborated with Singleton on projects since 1998. She said she worked on Poetic Justice, Higher Learning, Woo, Rosewood, Shaft, Baby Boy, Hustle & Flow, Black Snake Moan, and many others. She said she even contributed to his hit show Snowfall.
Barlow said she was owed 7-10% of all residuals owed to Singleton. In her lawsuit, she accused Ward and the studios of failing to properly account for residuals.
“The studio defendants, defendant Shelia Ward, and defendant Estate of John D. Singleton did knowingly, intentionally, negligently did conceal true and accurate income derived from properties where royalties and residuals are and wad due plaintiff,” the suit read.
Barlow demanded $15 million for her alleged financial loss, humiliation, emotional distress, anxiety, and stress.
Ward asked the court to throw out the case. She argued she had no ties to the state of Louisiana — where Barlow filed her lawsuit.
Recently, the court sided with Barlow and dismissed the case.

Should have married.
R.I.P.
She chose being a baby mama instead of being a real wife. Oh well, guess now she see the difference. He’s gone and so are her legal rights to his check. His mama said “You side chicks will learn the difference” and blocked the accounts.🤣🤣🤣🤣
Get everything in writing, even if you're sleeping next to the person every night. This man dropped dead and now she has nothing to show for all of those years with him. This is why a legal marriage is important.
"But it's just a piece of paper!"
Famous last words.
This is a poorly written article. It states at the bottom of the article the court recently sided with (Barlow) and dismissed the case. Barlow is the ex girl friend and baby mama who filed the lawsuit. Ward is John's mother. So who's lawsuit got tossed out?
