Jennifer Lopez is being accused of stealing the idea for her hit dance competition show World of Dance.
In a new lawsuit filed in federal court, a man named Alvin Gray-El claimed that he came up with the show concept years ago and now he wants a major pay day from the A-list triple threat.
Gray-El is suing Lopez, 49, for $6.5 million dollars in damages, according to TMZ.
In court: Jennifer Lopez is accused of stealing the idea for her hit dance competition show World of Dance by a man named Alvin Grey-El and is being sued for $6.5 million, according to TMZ
The outlet reports that Grey-El claims in documents that he first pitched his idea to famed choreographer and actress Debbie Allen via fax back in 2009.
At the time, he was calling the reality competition show Let's Start the Dance.
The suit alleges that Gray-El never heard back from Allen, who is currently starring as an actress in the ABC hit Grey's Anatomy.
Allen is in no way connected to World of Dance, which airs on NBC, but she is also being sued by Gray-el along with J Lo, according to The Blast.
