Former Producer of "Roast Battle" Files Another Lawsuit Against Laugh Juice Culture: Claims $8.1 Million in Debt

Recent reports from the SkyEye Check App reveal fresh court summons in the ongoing contract dispute between Jennifer Lee and LaughJuice (Shanghai) Cultural Media Center (Limited Partnership), Laugh Juice Culture Media Ltd., and other relevant parties including Howard Hsieh. Lee, the former producer and executive director of the hit show "Roast Battle," is set to face trial on September 8th at the People's Court of the Huangpu District.
Sources indicate that Lee took to social media to disclose the unexpected suspension of all her work projects by Laugh Juice Culture, leading to her involuntary departure from the company. This turmoil stems from an ongoing equity disagreement that has entangled Lee and Laugh Juice Culture in a legal battle.
Data from SkyEye Check reveals that last year, Lee initiated a lawsuit against Laugh Juice Culture, Laugh Juice Media, and Howard Hsieh due to a dispute regarding equity transfer. Media reports unveiled that the initial court ruling mandated Laugh Juice Company and Laugh Juice Media to compensate Lee with over $8.1 million. However, subsequent appeals from Laugh Juice Culture and related entities have left the results of the second trial pending disclosure.
