Hannah Montana Stolen By Disney
August 31st, 2007 by Anne
Buddy Sheffield, a comedy writer, filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday alleging he came up with the idea for the teen television show “Hannah Montana” but was never compensated. He is suing for breach of contract, breach of confidence, unfair competition and unjust enrichment.
Buddy says he presented an idea for a television series called “Rock and Roland” to the Disney Channel in 2001. The story was about a junior high school student who lived a secret double life as a rock star. However, Disney passed on the idea.
The Disney Channel’s “Hannah Montana” is about high school student Miley Stewart, who lives a secret double life as a famous pop star.
What do you think? Original idea or stolen?
