Johnny Vieira, a producer who worked with the Vanessa Hudgens, claims to have developed her career and as a result feels that she and her father owe him $5 Million in unpaid percentages and damages.  He alleges that once she got High School Musical she tried to “discharge her prior ‘team’ without cause”.  During that time a settlement was negotiated but claims it has never been paid out.

Additionally Vieira is suing Vanessa’s dad for defamation, claiming that Greg sent e-mails – one of which allegedly accidentally fell into his hands — to fellow industry insiders labeling Vieira a “predator” who “prayed [sic] upon other young artists.”

There was no word from the Hudgen camp.

Although I’ve heard her name, I never would imagine that she would owe $5 Million in percentages.  How much could she have possibley earned in her career??  Obviously a portion of that is damages, but wow.  That’s a lot of money for someone so young.
