Michigan U.S. District Judge Terrence Berg has granted Sophia Eggleston legal ammunition in her war against “Empire” creators Lee Daniels and Danny Strong. In her suit, she claims to be the “real Cookie Lyon,” and she wants Lee and Danny to pay up for ripping off her life story.
According to CentricTV, Judge Berg tossed a motion filed by Daniels and Strong that sought to squash Eggleston’s suit, which claims that Taraji P. Henson’s character was stolen from her autobiography, “The Hidden Hand.”
