Riches v. Underwood
Plaintiff Jonathan Lee Riches© d/b/a CEO of "Identity Theft Row Records" sued defendant Carrie Underwood d/b/a "Country Music Singer." Plaintiff alleged that defendant bribed American
Idol judges Simon and Paula, and got plaintiff's co-defendant to hack into phone lines to rig votes. He also alleges that defendant's current hit songs—"I Sued Vick, Got on the News
Quick," "All Truth in My Lawsuits," and "Jonathan Lee Riches, He Delicious"—are plaintiff's copyrighted material. He also alleged that two Milli Vanilli lookalikes jumped him in the
prison rec yard and stole his larynx on defendant's direct orders. (Plaintiff also affixed two stamps on the complaint—which did not reproduce clearly—and labeled them stamps of
approval).
