Comic actor Eddie Murphy has been jammed with a $50 million lawsuit in Los Angeles by a young comic Brando Murphy who claims the veteran is determined to ruin his comedy career. As we earlier reported, Brando believe Eddie is telling everyone that he [Brando] claims Eddie is his father.
According to latest legal documents obtained by gossip site TMZ yesterday, last name Murphy is taking center stage in the new lawsuit drama. Brando's $50 million defamation lawsuit against Eddie apparently stems from an 'absurd vanity'.
Brando who maintains that he has never tried to pass himself as Eddie Murphy's son – to which many say Eddie is claiming – explained that, "The name Murphy is of Irish decent and not exclusive to Eddie Murphy, a black man of African Ancestry and/or a purported African American." So, what's the big deal?
Although he denies assuming the identity of Eddie's son, Brando's claim reportedly did not touch on the most glaring contradiction to his argument, the fact that he took part in the Sons of Comedy tour with Richard Pryor's son. An event aimed at featuring the sons of iconic comedians, Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor. But Brando took part anyway – and he now claims – he's not Eddie's son!
However, in his lawsuit, the young comic also claims that one of Eddie's people threatened to have him killed. It's likely Team Eddie isn't too worried about Brando or his 'lame' lawsuit. Eddie's lawyer, Marty Singer allegedly told TMZ, "This is an absolutely ridiculous lawsuit, and we are confident it will be immediately dismissed by the court."
