Vanessa Hudgens: Lawsuit

When you’re on top of your game, it seems like everyone is trying to pull you down. For Vanessa's case it could end up costing her big. According to FOX Pop Tarts' Hollie McKay, the “High School Musical” cutie is being sued by her former producer/manager Johny Viera for $5 million dollars. Apparently, Viera was the man who discovered Nessa, and back in 2005 they entered into a financial agreement to split her earnings 50/50 in return for him launching her career.
Following her meteoric rise to fame after HSM, Hudgens cut ties with Viera, though she did come to a settlement agreement with him. But now he’s calling foul, saying that she’s not paying up.
In the meantime, Vanessa’s dad, Greg Hudgens, is trying to get the word out about Viera and his “predatory nature” via a website or phone line thereby preventing him from targeting up-and-coming ‘unsuspecting talent.’
