“Banks claims in the lawsuit that only 16 minutes of her three-and-a-half-hour interview were used in 'Reality Check: America's Next Top Model,' and that "accountability" was a major part of her conversation that wasn't featured.”

Katy Perry and ex-boyfriend Orlando Bloom could be subpoenaed in a long-running legal battle over a $15 million Montecito, California mansion the former couple purchased in 2020.

Both parties were mentioned in a new series of legal filings in ongoing litigation between Carl Westcott, a  veteran who founded 1-800-Flowers, and Bernie Gudvi, Perry's business manager.

Westcott had previously unsuccessfully sued over the 2020 sale of the eight-bedroom, 11-bathroom home, saying he had been incapacitated at the time of the sale due to painkillers use following surgery.

A judge ruled against Westcott in the case in 2024 and forced through the sale to Perry, who the court told to settle the remaining balance owed on the home, which comes to around $4.06 million.

In a recent legal filings reviewed by The Daily Mail asking for an emergency hearing, attorneys for Westcott claimed that Gudvi, presiding over Perry's finances, 'has not paid the amount due.'

A jury on Friday rejected “9-1-1” actor Rockmond Dunbar‘s claim that he was fired from the show due to his religious conviction against getting the COVID-19 vaccine.

The eight-member federal jury found unanimously in favor of Disney-owned 20th Television. When the verdict was read, Dunbar put his head in his hands.

“Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!” he shouted, and then turned to his wife and children, who were sitting in the gallery. “I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry. We’ll be okay.”

After legal proceedings were dormant for more than a year, Netflix has suffered a blow in its efforts to get Fiona Harvey‘s lawsuit thrown out of court.

Harvey, a former lawyer from Scotland, hit Netflix with a $170 million defamation lawsuit in 2024 after Baby Reindeer became a global sensation and she was identified as the show’s alleged stalker, Martha, played by Jessica Gunning.

Harvey claimed that the darkly comic series, which was billed as a “true story,” portrayed her as “a twice-convicted stalker who was sentenced to five years in prison.” Harvey has never been convicted of stalking Gadd, and she argued the series was “the biggest lie in television history.”

The case was widely expected to go to trial in May 2025, but an appeal by Netflix put a halt to proceedings at the Central District of California Court. Now, the U.S. Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit, has ruled that it lacks jurisdiction over the appeal. The ruling was made on technical grounds rather than on the merits of Netflix’s argument.

In its order, the appeals court said Netflix must either “file a motion to voluntarily dismiss this appeal or file a statement explaining why it should not be dismissed.” Netflix declined to comment.

Richard Roth, the attorney representing Harvey, told Deadline: “Netflix is doing everything to avoid a trial of this action. First, it made a motion before the federal district court which it lost. Then it appealed that decision, which was dismissed. Notwithstanding its efforts, there will be a trial in this action where its wrongdoing will be front nd center before a jury.”

U.S. District Judge R. Gary Klausner ruled in September 2024 that Harvey’s case should proceed because Baby Reindeer was wrongly billed as a “true story” after Netflix “made no effort” to fact-check creator Richard Gadd’s experiences and failed to “hide” Harvey’s identity
