Chrisette Michele is headed to court over a $20-million lawsuit filed in 2008 by former manager/producer Douglas “Biggs” Ellison of Four King Productions against Michele and her parents, and a Def Jam Records executive.
In 2007, Chrisette filed a suit against Four Kings, alleging that Ellison’s company had embezzled money from her Def Jam contract. Although she later dropped the suit, Ellison claims she damaged his reputation.
