“Science Guy” Bill Nye filed a lawsuit against the Walt Disney Company and several of its subsidiaries Thursday over claims the House of Mouse withheld millions of dollars in profits from his popular 1990s children’s television show.
In a lawsuit filed Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Nye claimed that Disney underpaid him by at least $9 million in royalties for his popular PBS show, Bill Nye the Science Guy, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
“Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that as a direct and proximate result of the Defendants’ breach of fiduciary duty, Plaintiff has suffered damages in the amount of not less than Nine Million Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Five Hundred Sixty dollars (USD$9,350,565.00), the final amount to be proven at trial,” the 28-page lawsuit reads.
Nye further alleged that in addition to the money he claimed not to have received as part of his profit-share on the series, Disney and its subsidiaries “enriched” themselves with “ill-gotten profits” of at least $28 million.[/b]
