Chris Rock is being sued over Good Hair, his documentary which looks into the black community's hair culture.
Regina Kimbell filed the $5 million copyright infringement lawsuit in United States District Court, Central District of California, alleging that Rock's film is a little too similar to her doc My Nappy Roots: A Journey Through Black Hair-itage which she claims she screened for Rock in on the set of his TV show Everyone Hates Chris two years ago.
Rock’s representative had no comment.
Good Hair opens in select theaters this Friday and wide on Oct. 13.
