Apparently, Matt LeBlanc isn't very friendly with his former business manager these days.
Camille Cerio, who represented the actor from April 1994 until the end of 1995, filed suit against the actor in Los Angeles Superior Court Monday, alleging that he owes her at least $1 million in unpaid commissions from his earnings on Friends and its spinoff, Joey.
In her court documents, Cerio cited a 1994 letter in which LeBlanc agreed to pay her 15 percent of his income for the "pilot and series derived from Friends Like Us"—the original title of the hit NBC sitcom.
She claims she was entitled to receive commission for as long as LeBlanc received income from Friends and Joey, but that the payments stopped in 2000. Friends concluded in 2004, while Joey was canceled in 2006.
Cerio said that LeBlanc told her last year that he would give her an accounting of his earnings from the series and promised to make good on the outstanding payments. She claims that he has yet to do so.
Her lawsuit seeks a full accounting of LeBlanc's earnings from Friends and Joey since 2000 and a court order for payment of all outstanding commissions, plus court costs and expenses.
The actor's attorney had yet to comment on the suit. (via E! Online)
