Jennifer Lopez's 'Hustlers' in legal trouble

The Quint  

Los Angeles, Sep 24 Stripper Samantha Barbash, who inspired the new Jennifer Lopez-starrer "Hustlers", is planning to file a lawsuit against the producers, claiming that she hasn't been given her dues. "We will defend our right to tell factually based stories based on the public record and look forward to resolving this matter before a judge," an STX spokesperson said. Last week, while talking to "TMZ", Barbash said she rejected the producers' offer for the rights to her story, saying it was less than the cost of a Hermes bag. Along with Lopez, "Hustlers", which premiered at Toronto International Film Festival this year, also stars Constance Wu, Julia Stiles, Keke Palmer, Lili Reinhart, Lizzo and Cardi B.
