Garth Brooks being Sued by ex-Partner Lisa Sanderson

Garth Brooks is being sued by his former partner, who alleges that she was induced to work on his behalf with the promise of great rewards.

The lawsuit comes from Lisa Sanderson, who has worked with Merv Griffin and Richard Mulligan and has a couple of TV movie executive producer credits to her name. She says she worked with the country music singer for 20 years to bring him television and movie work.

The harshly worded lawsuit says Brooks is a "paranoid, angry, deceitful and vindictive man who will turn against those closest to him on a dime."

Brooks turned down, Saving Private Ryan, and Twister.

The lawsuit also says that Red Strokes obtained a development deal with Fox and that Brooks pitched a project about a rock star worth more dead than alive. Fox allegedly loved it, though Sanderson says that during the meeting, Brooks said his father had died and that she was "thunderstruck" because she knew that Brooks' father was alive. The project didn't go forward because, according to the lawsuit, he refused to share his publishing music with Fox.

Sanderson also says that Brooks ruined chances to work with Tim Burton on Alice in Wonderland as well as with New Line on a Brooks-written script titled Alyss.

Sanderson is suing for breach of oral contract, fraud and more and seeking $425,000 in damages from unpaid salary, bonuses and punitive damages. She is represented by Marty Singer and Allison Hart at Lavely & Singer.
