BBW: Tami Roman 2 Lawsuits In 2 Weeks| Hair & Management !
Tami Roman is being sued by her ex-manager Jerry Silverhardt dude is claiming he helped make Tami rich and famous and she is refusing to pay him for his services.
Monday in L.A. County Court Jerry made claims that he was responsible for securing Tami a spot on"Basketball Wives"and she has yet to pay him for his services.
Jerry claims Tami paid him for season two but then left him out after she ended their relationship in February and refused to pay for work she did on the recently completed Season 3.
According to Jerry, Tami's oral contract with him is crystal clear ... she owes him 10% no matter what on all "Wives" paychecks for seasons 3 through 6 -- and she better pay up, stat.
Now you and I both know Tami is about her moolah and there ain't no way in hell she told him some bullshit like this! Tami would have to be deaf, dumb, blind, stupid and desperate to form those words.
Here's the audio of her explaining what really happened.
If Audio Doesn't WorkTami, who is Jerry? Was he indeed your manager as he claims?
It’s true. He had been my manager for about maybe 8 years. Yes, we had a long relationship and it had always been an amicable up until this moment. Our particular situation was you know I pay people based on what you do and that had always been our understanding and our agreement. ( They had a verbal agreement) You know if you send me out on an audition and I book that job I’m going to pay your commission. If I go out and I solicit my own work –I’ve been an actress for about 12, 13 years now- and I have these relationships already. If I initiate employment for myself, you’re not going to get commission on that because you weren’t involved in it. So that had always been our understanding and that had always worked for the past 8 years. With “Basketball Wives,” they approached me when they did their first season. They contacted him and you know I just wasn’t really ready to go on a show, talk about Kenny. You know I had moved so past that. In addition to, I really didn’t want to go back to the reality genre. So between the year that they had their first season and the second season which is when I actually came onto the show, my family fell on a hardship I actually introduced that on the show. You know my daughters and I had been on food stamps and we had been on you know medical assistance through the state of New Jersey. And so I was looking for something you know income wise. I was working a 9-5 job in corporate America. And when I watched the first season of Basketball Wives I felt like my story wasn’t on there. You know yo I’m sitting here like in the dark. My lights are out. You know that’s not my moment. I’m not champagne brunching and mani’s and pedi’s everyday and I felt that I had a valuable story to tell…to show my particular situation and what me and my daughter’s were going through so I contacted VH1, Jeff Old is the President of VH1, and said I wanted to be on the show. From that moment on, Jerry you know placed another call on my behalf to Shed Media, which is the production company for our show and I started having communication and dialogue with the executive producer, telling them my story. They liked my story- I was on Season 2. Now for the payment that I received for Season 2, Jerry Silverhardt was compensated. And that’s what he’s not admitting to. When it came to-we didn’t even know we were going to get a Season 3-so we did the reunion and we got the announcement we were going to do a Season 3. As I wasn’t happy with my contract for Season 2, I didn’t feel that he did the best job for me in that moment considering everything I was going through and you know what the value of my storyline that I brought to Season 2, I terminated him before we started negotiating contract for Season 3.
Lawsuit #2:
Constance Corleone who owns an upscale extension line called Bella Dream Hair filed a case, against Tami claiming Tami's rep contacted her last September and asked to try out Constance's product.
According to the suit, Constance sent some bundles of hair over and then was horrified to learn Tami had fired up her own weave line under the name, Curls By Roman.Constance even claims, Tami was advertising her line with a pic of her wearing her extensions!
Let the funny tweets ensue Tami fired off some Tweets that read:
"Fraudulent people trying to take credit NOT. People trying to take credit for this hair. WTF they crazy."
Constance demanded Tami send her extensions back to her, that's when Tami tweeted, "Mad that I already mailed that S**T back2u cuz I got they address-would took it to Constance myself lying bitch." Constance is suing for more than $500k.Damn didn't I just tell you I was going to try some of those Curls By Roman out?
This shit cray... I swear if they wanted to bootleg some hair they should have just ordered some as a regular paying customer.... I seriously doubt Tami is bootlegging hair. Maybe she used it as a blueprint or something?
