LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
Johnny Vieira, a producer who once worked with “High School Musical” star Vanessa Hudgens, filed a suit against his former client at Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday.
Vieira alleges that Hudgens and her father, Greg, as well as her record label, Hollywood Records, owe him $5 million in unpaid percentages and damages.
Vieira claims that he developed Hudgens’ career until she landed a lead role in “HSM,” at which time she tried to “discharge her prior ‘team’ without cause”; at the time, he alleges, he negotiated a settlement with the Hudgens, but now says that settlement has not been honored.
Vieira is also suing Vanessa’s dad for defamation, claiming that Greg sent e-mails – one of which allegedly accidentally fell into his hands — to fellow industry insiders labeling Vieira a “predator” who “prayed [sic] upon other young artists.”
