Buddy Sheffield has filed a lawsuit claiming that the comedy show for children, Hannah Montana, is actually his concept, but that Disney never compensated him for his idea. The lawsuit is claiming breach of contract, unfair competition, breach of confidence, and unjust enrichment.
According to Sheffield, he pitched an idea to Disney back in 2001. The idea of the show was about a student in junior high who lived a secret life as a rock star. The lawsuit claims that while Disney did originally like the idea they eventually passed on it.
These days, Hanna Montana, which stars Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus, is about virtually the same concept (a teen who leads a secret life as a hit pop recording artist) and has become a hit. The show has produced a number of hit CDs and plenty of merchandise. Sheffield wants a part of the money pot for himself.
Sheffield has written for such shows as In Living Color and the Smothers Brothers Show.
