Writing Duo Taps Prominent Entertainment Attorney Tre Lovell To Represent Them In Their Multi-Million Dollar Lawsuit Against Oprah Winfrey Over The Television Show 'Greenleaf'

LOS ANGELES, May 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Los Angeles lawyer Tre Lovell is representing writing duo Shannan Wynn and Pastor Lester Barrie in their multi-million dollar lawsuit against Oprah Winfrey, Lionsgate, ABC and others for allegedly having stolen their ideas for the television show “Greenleaf.” The lawsuit asserts that Winfrey and the other defendants “surreptitiously and with brazen temerity, stole Plaintiffs’ work and ripped from them what took years to create and develop.” The complaint does not mince words: “Defendants’ actions were not only blatant, but arrogant as they didn’t even seek to hide the theft; they used the same character names and copied verbatim unique and novel storylines, themes, subplots and the overall tone of the show.” According to Lovell, “It’s unfortunate, but creative theft has become a cottage industry in Hollywood.” The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court, Central District, case no. 2:18-cv-03279.
