Terri V Donald lost her copyright infringement case. He claimed that Hollywood producer Tyler Perry and film studio, Lions Gate Entertainment Corp, used his story and characters from her novel ‘Bad Apples Can Be Good Fruit’ which was published in 2007, law360 updated.

According to the file, she said that she had sent her book to the Tyler Perry Co., hoping the company would buy her story, but Perry and Lions Gate made their own film with her story. 

“Given that the book and film concern dissimilar characters in different settings, it comes as no surprise that the plots, sequence, pace and total concept of the two works are completely different,” the court rued, law360 added.
