Garth Brooks is being SUED by his former business partner, Lisa Sanderson, for $425,000 in unpaid bonuses, salary and other damages. Sanderson, who claims she once was a big shot Hollywood producer, was hired by Brooks 20 years ago to jump start his T.V. and movie career... that didn't happen. Sanderson said Brooks' ego was what stopped him from getting his start in movies and T.v. For example, Sanderson said that Brooks turned down being a sniper in the movie "Saving Private Ryan" because quote he (Brooks), "Wanted to be the star and was unwilling to share the spotlight with TOM HANKS, MATT DAMON and EDWARD BURNS." That's just ridiculous, if true, that Brooks thought he was a better actor than any of those three GREAT actors. Read the court document here for more.
