Looks like some of the former cast members from Friends are pretty damn cheap!
Last month we mentioned how Matt LeBlanc's former business manager is suing him, seeking $1 million for unpaid commissions.
Now, the latest Friend facing legal action is Lisa Kudrow.
Kudrow's former manager has filed a suit against the blonde.
He claims that Kudrow failed to pay him commissions since she fired him back in 2007.
At the moment, he's seeking damages of at least $50,000.
Well that's better than a million!
Her manager, Scott Howard, started working for Kudrow back in 1991, before she made it big on Friends.
Then years later, during her 10th year on the show, the two of them agreed to split his commission rate down to just 5%.
Howard states that during her time with the show and after, Kudrow paid all of his commissions.
However, since his firing, she's allegedly refused to pay him any commissions for her time on Friends and all work she did while he was her manager.
At the moment, Kudrow has no comment.
Pay up Lisa. If it weren't for him, you probably wouldn't have been on the show!

Love Lisa Kudrow. 50k can't be much for her.
After the millions he has made off her he is seeking 50 grand? Sounds like he is pissed about something and it doesnt involve money.
Where's Britney?
If this is true, she just may possibly be a cheap c*nt.
What a joke. Money is the devil!
She did the EXACT same character no matter what part she played. She's lucky the guy could get her any work at all!
lisa k isnt cheap! and she doesn't derve to be put in the 'z-list' catagory. jeez lighten up was-fat-but-now-just-overweight perez.
ah, so many people know who she is and care about what she is doing, not z-list material.
Gahh money money money. Well I'm sure it's alright, I'm sure she made a shitload off Friends.
Lisa Kudrow was probably the worst actor on that show.
does DRIZZLE actually know Lisa Kudrow??
Who the F cares! she's a celebrity, she could pay people to wipe her ass if she wanted to!
No…not pheobe
I dont know Perez………….what kind of debt are you in ? How many lawsuits do you have filed against you ? just curious you'll talk about everyone elses what about you sista ?
I'm biased because I've always loved Lisa Kudrow plus I have no idea how the commissions game works.
To those who say she can't act…have you seen everything she's done. She's as variable as any other actress I've come across. She's not Meryl Streep but she's memorable…more so than Matt LeBlanc!
whatever
that's so sad
Perez, I disagree! You pay your agent because your agent finds you work. Your manager is completely dispensable. You can't really find the work without an agent, although some superstars can. But you CAN live without the following: someone to manage you, someone to talk to the press for you, someone to dress you, someone to drive you. It's all extraneous bullshit after the work comes in. Manage your fucking selves, people.
and it's Your Business, why?
Lisa Who???
she sucks
Kudrow is awesome.
She's a smart actresse.
Love her.
She is not a Z lister… she doesn't need to work anymore with all the money she made with friends and that she keeps on doing with friends dvd's and other endorsements. You wish you had at least 1/4 of what she has…
Leave her alone!
I miss Friends on TV!
