"New Girl" actress Zooey Deschanel is being sued by her former management, Seven Summits Pictures & Management, which represented her from 1996 to 2013.
Seven Summits Pictures & Management wants a share of the profits from the sale of her entertainment website, Hello Giggles, which was reportedly sold for between USD 20 million and USD 30 million earlier this year, reported Female First.
In a complaint filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, the company asserts that it is owed the money because it worked with Deschanel, 35, to get the company up and running.
Seven Summits said in its complaint, "On November 16, 2015, after Seven Summits learned that Deschanel received money in connection with the sale of Hello Giggles, Seven Summits requested that Deschanel pay Seven Summits' per cent commission on her income from Hello Giggles ... But Deschanel refused to pay any such commissions."
The actress had also been paying post-termination commissions for her TV comedy "New Girl", which she started working on in 2011 but the company claimed that she has now stopped paying and accused them of fraud over her contract.
