A writer reportedly filed a lawsuit today at the Los Angeles County Superior Court, claiming that he was the brains behind the successful Disney series “Hannah Montana.”
Richard Fronduto claimed that he wrote a script for “The Secret Life of Sindi” which was renamed to “The Family Business” way back in 1990 and this idea was pitched in by his agent to Disney.
Fronduto added that Disney liked his script and converted it into a two-hour pilot and that’s where “Hannah Montana” was born.
According to the lawsuit, Fronduto is suing for damages and wants his name to be placed on “Created by” credits on all future broadcasts of the hit TV series.

I call BS! I really think this plot is one that’s been done time and time again. You can’t claim you created a plotline like that. That’s like claiming the girl who dresses up like a dude to get ahead in the working world was a story you made up.
