‘Last Chance U’ Star Jason Brown Files $30 Million Lawsuit Against Netflix
‘Last Chance U’ Star Jason Brown
Files $30 Million Lawsuit Against Netflix
Published
Former college football coach Jason Brown — who starred on Netflix’s “Last Chance U” docuseries — is now suing the streaming giant over the show … for a whopping $30 million.
The ex-Independence Community College sideline manager alleged in the suit, which was filed in Los Angeles County this week, that Netflix and its “Last Chance U” producers cost him a fortune by, among other things, “portraying him in a false and offensive light through selective editing and misrepresentation.”
Brown says he initially agreed to be a part of the series back in June 2017 … after he claims producers assured him he’d garner positive publicity from being on camera. He alleges one exec actually told him, “Colleges will be calling you after this airs.”
But, Brown stated Netflix proceeded to paint him as a villain in the two seasons he was on. He said producers “cut, pasted, edited, and distorted” footage “to depict him as a volatile, abusive tyrant for their financial gain.”
One instance in particular that he says really hurt him was in February 2019 — when he sent a text message to a student that made a Hitler reference. Brown says Netflix “dramatized” the situation — and he says $600,000 offers he had to coach NCAA programs and XFL teams were pulled after the show aired.
In total, Brown — who actually told TMZ Sports last month that he was mulling the lawsuit — says he’s out $10 mil in lost income, $10 mil in reputational damage and $5 mil in emotional distress. He also wants $5 million in punitive damages.

Brown is not the first star from “Last Chance U” to drag Netflix to court over the show … Ronald Ollie, John Franklin III, Cary Sidney Reavis II, DeAndre Johnson, Tim Bonner and Isaiah Wright also filed a lawsuit against the streaming giant in February with similar allegations to Brown.
Netflix, for its part, has yet to publicly comment on the pending litigation.

Mariah Carey and Anderson .Paak are doing little to dispel dating rumors … because he was by her side as she accepted a big honor at an award show.
Mariah and Anderson hit up the iHeartRadio Music Awards together Monday, and .Paak helped her up the stage, where she accepted her Icon Award.
TMZ.com
They’ve been working on new music together but have been keeping dating rumors alive for months … including a couple handsy dinner outings in Aspen.
Mariah and Anderson were first spotted hanging out during the holidays, and it’s been a while since we’ve seen them together in public … so this is pretty significant.
Despite some PDA back in December, we’ve been told Mariah and Anderson are not actually an item.
Still, it’s worth noting they are still spending time together … so there’s always a chance something’s changed.
Stay tuned …
‘Bachelor’ Alum Sean Lowe
I Was Squirting Blood Everywhere
3 Attacks by My Own Dog!!!
Published
Sean Lowe went through a traumatic experience — revealing he was attacked three times by his rescue dog Moose only three months after getting him … leaving him squirting blood everywhere.
He broke it all down in an IG video with his wife Catherine — explaining while he was barbecuing with friends Thursday, he ran inside to turn off a fire alarm triggered by smoke … and that’s when the nightmare began.
Sean explained when he grabbed a towel to wave the smoke away from the alarm, Moose suddenly nipped his finger aggressively, then started sinking his teeth into his shoes … before ripping into his arm.
He pointed out this wasn’t a typical defensive bite from a scared dog … Moose was viciously attacking him — not that his pals outside had any idea, as he desperately fought off the dog while bleeding profusely.

Even after managing to get Moose into the backyard, the dog came back for a second round, forcing Sean to fight him off again, before finally getting rid of him.
Sean noted the cut on his wrist was so deep that blood was squirting several feet, and his friends quickly rushed him to the ER, where he received stitches on both arms.
But the horror didn’t end there — Moose escaped through the backyard the next morning and went after Sean for a third time. After wrestling the dog to the floor, Sean managed to escape … followed by another trip to the ER for more stitches.
Sean acknowledged that it wasn’t Moose’s fault, explaining the dog had experienced a lot of trauma before being adopted by his family — but with three kids, Moose clearly had to go back to a shelter.
