‘Hustlers’ real-life inspiration, Samantha Barbash is suing Jennifer Lopez‘s production company for $40 million. Samantha claims in her suit, producers approached her to get her consent for the movie and she turned a thumbs down on them. Despite the rejection, the flick was produced with J Lo playing a character obviously based on her. She was pissed that she received a lowball offer from producers. Samantha says the character in the movie is portrayed as “using and manufacturing illegal substances in her home where she lived with her child.” She says it’s untrue and offensive.She’s suing for $40 million, $20 mil in compensatory damages and $20 mil in punitives. She also wants an order requiring producers to turn over all copies of the movie.
