Suge Knight Threatens Legal Action Against Lifetime’s Michel’le Biopic

Michel’le

*Suge Knight has threatened to sue Lifetime if they bash him in the upcoming Michel’le biopic. The incarcerated music mogul has made a name for himself in the industry and he won’t have anyone tarnish that. Knight, who is currently currently behind bars at LA County Jail, is taking steps to ensure he is accurately portrayed in an upcoming movie about his ex-wife.

RollingOut.com reports that Suge’s lawyer, J. Tooson, has warned Lifetime to refrain from including certain aspects of his life in the biopic. As previously reported, R&B legend Michel’le landed her own biopic with the network and the working title for the film is “The Michel’le Story.” The film will focus on the music and hard times of Michel’le’s life, including the domestic abuse she suffered at the hands of her famous ex’s: Dr. Dre & Suge, which continues to be a point of contention to this day.

Former “Lincoln Heights” actress Rhyon Nicole Brown is set to play Michel’le, actor Curtis Hamilton will portray Dr. Dre, and R. Marcos Taylor, who starred as Knight in “Straight Outta Compton,” will reprise his role in the biopic.

When Tooson was asked why the Suge didn’t go after the hit NWA biopic, Tooson claimed that Knight was too busy handling his murder case and Chris Brown lawsuit. You may recall that Suge is suing Brown over his claims that Breezy is the reason why he was shot at a nightclub in 2014.

In February 2015, Knight was charged with murder and attempted murder following a fatal hit-and-run in Compton, California. He pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Lifetime also produced a film about Whitney Houston titled “Whitney” and one about Aaliyah, who died in a plane crash in 2001. Neither biopic was well-received by viewers.

“The Michel’le Story” has not yet received a release date.
