Chris Rock sued for $5 million over “Good Hair”
Chris Rock is having a bad “Hair” day.
A Los Angeles woman is suing the Brooklyn-bred comic for $5 million, claiming Rock stole her concept for his upcoming documentary, “Good Hair,” reports RadarOnline.com.
Opening Friday, “Good Hair” features such celebrities as rappers Ice-T and Eve, actress Kerry Washington and the Rev. Al Sharpton talking about African-American hairstyles.
In the suit, filed this week in L.A., Regina Kimball stated that she showed her 2005 documentary, “My Nappy Roots: A Journey Through Black Hair-itage,” to Rock on the set of his “Everyone Hates Chris” sitcom two years ago.
Like “Hair,” “Roots” also has celebs such as Vivica A. Fox, Malcolm Jamal-Warner and Kim Fields discussing the social and cultural significance of black hairstyles.
Rock, who co-produced “Good Hair,” also co-wrote, narrates and appears in the film.

Please take a moment to check out my documentary film BLACK HAIR
It is free at youtube. 6 parts including an update from London, England.
It explores the Korean Take-over of the Black Beauty Supply and Hair biz..
The current situation makes it hard to believe that Madame C.J. Walker once ran the whole thing.
I am not a hater, I am a motivator.
Plus I am a White guy who stumbled upon this, and felt it was so wrong I had to make a film about it.
self-funded film, made from the heart.
Can it be taken back?

Yet, thank you for this excellent point and whilst I can not necessarily concur with this in totality, I respect your standpoint.
