Nicci Gilbert Files Lawsuit Against Lionsgate And Starz Over Alleged Copyright Infringement For ‘P-Valley’

While a lot of us have been waiting for P. Valley to come back to our tv screens. Legal representatives have also taken notice of the show, and in a new lawsuit against Lionsgate Entertainment Corp. and Starz, reality TV star and singer Nicci Gilbert is calling out the show’s creator for similarities.

According to Yahoo News, Plaintiff Nicole Gilbert-Daniels alleges the hit show, which debuted in July 2020, has several notable similarities to her musical stage play, “Soul Kittens Cabaret,” which was released on DVD in 2011.

Gilbert-Daniels, who has produced the TV reality shows “R&B Divas” on TV One and “From The Bottom Up” for BET Her, alleges that, on her behalf, entertainment attorney Leroy Bobbit pitched “Soul Kittens Cabaret” as a musical TV drama to Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer at his Los Angeles office in 2014. The lawsuit states Feltheimer was given two copies of her script and the “SKC” DVD.
