Beyonce Knowles facing lawsuit over new promo


 

Beyonce Knowles R&B star is facing legal action from a disgruntled Hollywood Hills resident who has accused the singer of disrupting his privacy while shooting her new promo.

Philip Markowitz has filed a suit against Beyonce and production firm Kleiner & Company on over her new promo Why Don't You Love Me, reported TMZ.

He alleged that he was rudely awakened at 7am on March 26 when the film crew arrived in the exclusive Mount Olympus community in the Hollywood Hills and "invaded his neighbourhood".

Markowitz has claimed he was then prevented from leaving his property and each time he stepped out of his house, he found members of the crew blocking his driveway.

According to legal papers filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, he confronted the promo staff about the problem and as a result, "missed several business calls while arguing calmly in his driveway".

The documents go on to state, "(Markowitz) demanded compensation for the trespass on his property and the inconvenience and delay he had already suffered", but was told he could not be paid because it was a "low budget film shoot". Markowitz is now suing on the grounds of private nuisance and trespass and is demanding unspecified damages and punitive costs.
