Jay Manuel is Getting Sued By Management

TMZ is reporting that America’s Next Top Model on-set creative director and sometimes judge Jay Manuel is getting sued by his talent agency. Apparently, he withheld the commission they were entitled to from his earnings.

According to the suit, which was filed yesterday in L.A. County Superior Court, Jay did not pay Thruline Entertainment, Inc., his management company the alloted 10% he was supposed to.

Jay used to be paid $30,000 per episode and that recently went up to $40,000 per episode. His total earnings since working with Thurline Entertainment have been $405,000. They are suing for their entire 10%, or $40,500.

I find it hard to believe that Jay completely stiff his management team. But the documents are in court as I type this–only time will tell how it will play out.
