Honey lawsuit dismissed
Written by . Published: December 28 2014
A lawsuit filed by a dancer against producers behind Jessica Alba's 2003 movie Honey has been dismissed.
Honey Rockwell sought damages and a share of box office revenue from producers of the dance movie in the lawsuit, which she filed claiming her story was used as inspiration for the plot.
Rockwell accused the producers of using details about her life
without permission for their movie about a hip-hop dancer from New
York, played by Alba.
According to TMZ.com, a judge has now dismissed the lawsuit, ruling
that Rockwell took too long to take legal action and she does not
own any rights to her Honey stage name.
