Amber Dixon Brenner Is Also Suing Salim Akil for Breach of Contract
These headlines are making rounds on social media after a detailed legal document surfaced. The lawsuit states that Amber is suing Akil for stealing her story and characters back in 2015.
The case revolves around Amber’s screenplay for Luv & Perversity in East Village. She says she based the story on her real-life experiences, specifically her alleged years-long, abusive sexual/dating relationship with Akil.

The protagonist in the screenplay also goes through trauma, and the story is about how she finds herself amid the turmoil.
After completing the script, she says, she decided to show it to Akil with an “implied understanding” that he would not use it without involving her.
She shared her work with him on the expectation that he might show interest in collaborating on the project as a director or a producer.
The suit alleges Amber recently discovered that, in 2016, Akil took a very similar script with similar characters to ABC. He called his version Documenting Love, and wanted to make a TV series out of it.
ABC was apparently interested in doing the show, but for unknown reasons, it never made it past the idea stage.
The lawsuit then states that Akil became involved in the creation of OWN’s (Oprah Winfrey Network) Love Is, which Brenner alleges again borrowed its plot and characters heavily from Luv & Perversity in the East Village.

The lawsuit alleges that Akil physically tortured Amber when they began dating approximately 10 years ago. The document also states that the couple in question in were in a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship up until the summer of 2017, during which time they were sexually involved with each other.
Some of the graphic allegations against Akil involve forced oral sex, physical abuse during sex, threats about harming Amber if she got pregnant, and more such heinous acts during intimacy.
Amber Dixon Brenner has asked for compensation for the emotional and physical damages caused, along with an undisclosed amount for the breach in the contract regarding her script.
