Michael Moore claims movie mogul Harvey Weinstein and brother Robert cheated him out of millions of dollars in profits for the movie, "Fahrenheit 9/11," by secretly diverting profits ... even using Michael's money to fly one of the Weinstein bros. to Europe by private jet. In a lawsuit filed today in L.A. County Superior Court and obtained by TMZ, Moore's company, Westside Productions, claims Moore had a deal with the Weinsteins' company -- The Fellowship Adventure Group -- to split profits 50/50 for the flick.
In legal docs filed by Moore's celebrity lawyer, Larry Stein, he alleges the Weinsteins used "bogus accounting methods to hide the true amounts due Westside." Moore also claims the Weinsteins secretly diverted a fortune in profits to themselves.
"Fahrenheit 9/11" is the top-grossing documentary of all time, pulling in $222 million worldwide.
The lawsuit seeks in excess of $2.7 million.
UPDATE: Weinstein's lawyer, Bert Fields, tells TMZ, "Michael Moore has been paid over $20 million on this film. Under the contract he's not entitled to another dime. His claims are baloney and the timing is very suspicious."
Poster Comment:
Funny thing is Israel and of course the Jews were not mentioned once in that film. So Moore played by their rules and still gets burnt. Moore deserves every bit of this and more. His current predicament is an example of why shilling for the Jews always leads to disaster. Any kindness or service provided to them or playing by their rules will be severely punished. When you don't play the game all they can imagine is the bark of the Alsatians and the sight of an open east-bound freight train ready and waiting. Fear is the only thing that can induce any respect with these people Let's see if he grows some hair on his balls and starts naming the Jew.....
