Seems suspicious to us!

Regina Kimball of Los Angeles is suing comedian Chris Rock for $5 million! Kimball believes that Rock stole the idea from her for his new documentary Good Hair.

Kimball is claiming that she showed her documentary, My Nappy Roots: A Journey Through Black Hair-itage, to Chris a couple years ago on the set of Everyone Hates Chris.

Both docs have African American celebs featured in the films talking about the social and cultural aspects of black hairstyles.

Kinda sounds like she has a case, Chris! We'll have to see what happens!

      he defo got the idea when his daughter asked him about her hair, so what is this woman talking about?

      It's not super original. Plus, it's Chris that's going to make people want to see the documentary, not the subject matter. Frankly, he could do a documentary on paint drying and I would still see it.

      HAHAHAHA! And you know he was probably like, "I think I heard it somewhere before…OH WELL!!"

      hahaha LOSER.

      The one who wrote this doesn't even know what was the name of the show. It's called Everybody Hates Chris, not Everyone Hates Chris.

      Maybe if you stop spending time on shit gaga you would write the correct jizz

      Not sure why she has a case simply because she "claims" something. I claim that you are a douche. Do I have a case? …Oh yeah…right. I do!

      She got no case. Ok, so he saw a documentary and wanted to make a similar one. No big deal. There's no copyright on ideas.

      How scummy of him. I hope she can prove it.

      Still reminds me of when we picked out my dad's Father's Day card. ym bg

      …I doubt he stole her idea…but if he did, I hope he gets sued.

      This is interesting, because when I first heard about Chris doing this movie I thought immediately that it was an odd idea for a black man. Why would a black man create a movie that is so centered and focused on black women's hair.I thought that it sounded much more like something a woman would come up with, and a black woman in particular. I have a feeling this woman Regina is telling the truth. Just a hunch.

      Everybody knows King of All Blacks has been conducting a "Good Hair Social Experiment" for the last 20 years. About a year ago he declared that his choice of the woman with the perfect compliment to his own hair yielded the desired results when one of his teenage daughters was picked to model because if her hair.

      Sounds to me like someone is wanting to get paid! Why can't they just collaborate?
