Former Fresh Prince of Bel Air star Alfonso Ribeiro is suing Epic Games Fortnite for stealing his pop culture-influenced dance.

Read on to get more details on why Alfonso Ribeiro is SLAPPING Epic Games with a lawsuit…

CelebNMusic247.com reports that Alfonso Ribeiro is the latest celeb who is getting himself tangled up with a lawsuit.

Alfonso Ribeiro claims Epic Games completely ripped off his famous dance “The Carlton.” It was a dance that he created for his character, Carlton Banks, on the ‘Fresh Prince.’ He did the dance on the show throughout the series.

TMZ reports:

Alfonso says that Fortnite released a new dance that its characters can perform called the “Fresh emote,” which came out on Jan 2, 2018 … and it’s a carbon copy of what he claims he came up with on the ’90s sitcom.

Ribeiro also claims he’s in the middle of copyrighting the Carlton dance.

Alfonso’s attorney, David Hecht of Pierce Bainbridge Beck Price & Hecht LLP points out that “Mr. Ribeiro’s likeness and intellectual property have been misappropriated by Epic Games.”

Hecht states:

It is widely recognized that Mr. Ribeiro’s likeness and intellectual property have been misappropriated by Epic Games in the most popular video game currently in the world, Fortnite.

He continues:

Epic has earned record profits off of downloadable content in the game, including emotes like “Fresh.” Yet Epic has failed to compensate or even ask permission from Mr. Ribeiro for the use of his likeness and iconic intellectual property.

The lawsuit is almost identical to the one filed by 2 Milly earlier this month for jacking his “Milly Rock” dance.
