Beyoncé sued by video game developer
Beyonce Knowles is being sued for $100 million, accused of being a "diva grinch".
The 'Girls (Who Rule The World)' singer is said to have ruined Christmas 2010 for employees of video game company Gate Five, after she demanded more money to appear in dance game Starpower: Beyonce.
Her alleged decision also caused the project's main financier to back out and was, according to the lawsuit, "a bad faith breach of contract so callous that, on what appeared to be a whim, she destroyed Gate Five's business, and drove 70 people into unemployment, the week before Christmas".
The game was in development for release for Christmas 2011, but the project had to be scrapped after an "extortionate demand for entirely new compensation" came from Beyonce's team at a "crucial moment in the project's development".
