IMO: Chris Rock Allegedly Stole "Good Hair" Concept

Sources report that a Los Angeles woman is suing comedian, Chris Rock, for $5 million, claiming Rock stole her concept for his upcoming documentary, "Good Hair."

According to reports, Regina Kimball stated, in a suit that was filed this week in L.A., that she showed her 2005 documentary, "My Nappy Roots: A Journey Through Black Hair-itage," to Rock on the set of his "Everyone Hates Chris" sitcom two years ago.

Both documentaries discuss the social and cultural significance of black hairstyles. "Good Hair" opens this Friday (October 9), and features celebrities such as rappers Ice-T, Eve, actress Kerry Washington and Rev. Al Sharpton talking about African-American hairstyles.

IMO, the "Good Hair" concept is a concept that I'm sure many have thought of doing for years. If, in fact Kimball's claim is true than it is sad that the two weren't able to come together to work on the project. Reminds me of that good old saying "crabs in a barrel." *sighs*

What are your opinions on both the Kimball vs. Rock lawsuit and the "Good Hair" concept as a whole? I'd love to know your opinions on both matters.

With Love,
