Chris Rock Is Being Sued
October 13, 2009 by Richie Berges
Some woman named Regina Kimball is suing Chris Rock over his Latest project “Good Hair”. She claims she has a documentary called “Nappy Roots” and that she showed it to him a while back. Chris says “It’s weird 
because I called her to see the movie, and told her I was doing a movie, so it’s not like anybody was hiding it. It’s like, ‘I’m thinking about doing a movie on hair.’ It was really to watch it to make sure I wasn’t going to make that movie. The only similarity is her movie goes to India and mine goes to India, but I don’t even know if she went to India. I think she got footage. That’s about it. Her movie is about [hair care entrepreneur Madam] C.J. Walker, histories of hair, men, women… She’ll probably be able to sell it now because of Good Hair, but it’s not humorous at all. If you did two documentaries on George Washington, there’d be some similarities, but they’re not the same documentary. We’ll see what happens. I guess I’ll talk to my lawyers later today.”
We’ll see what happens with this one. Good luck Chris.

I just stopped by your blog and thought I would say hello. I like your site design. Looking forward to reading more down the road.
Please take a moment to check out my documentary film BLACK HAIR
It is free at youtube. 6 parts including an update from London, England.
It explores the Korean Take-over of the Black Beauty Supply and Hair biz..
The current situation makes it hard to believe that Madame C.J. Walker once ran the whole thing.
I am not a hater, I am a motivator.
Plus I am a White guy who stumbled upon this, and felt it was so wrong I had to make a film about it.
self-funded film, made from the heart.
Can it be taken back?
