NEW YORK (AP) - You've seen her in concert, music videos and in the movies. But a video game maker says the reason you haven't seen Beyonce in a video game - is because she backed out of a project for one - and they are suing the entertainer because of that.
Gate Five LLC has sued Beyonce claiming that she signed in June for a deal to do a game called "Starpower: Beyonce." But before the project came out, the company says Beyonce demanded a new deal - then backed out altogether.
The lawsuit claims Gate Five lost nearly $7 million in investment in the Beyonce deal and estimates it lost more than $100 million in potential profits. And on top of that, some 70 people lost jobs.
Beyonce's publicist didn't immediately respond to inquiries about the lawsuit, which was filed in New York City.
