Page Six reports that Sean Penn is suing Lee Daniels for $10 million after Daniels called Penn a wife beater. Here is the quote that got Daniels in trouble (he was defending Terrence Howard when he said it): "Ain't done nothing different than Marlon Brando or Sean Penn, and all of a sudden he's some fuckin' demon. That's a sign of the time, of race, of where we are in America right now." Hmmm, the only thing I see wrong with that quote is that he left Charlie Sheen off the list. Penn's attorney had this to say in the filing:
"First in his purported defense of Howard, Daniels not only appears to acknowledge Howard’s guilt, he also seems to condone Howard’s misconduct." The attorney goes on to state that Penn has never been arrested for domestic violence: “His ex-wives (including Madonna ) would confirm and attest. As asserted in the lawsuit, there is also a potentially even larger issue at stake, which is the malicious and reckless repetition of rumors and innuendo at the expense of others. Sean has been subjected to false, baseless, and reckless attacks for years, and this is only the most recent example."
It will be interesting to see whether or not Madonna would indeed confirm and attest to that, considering what he "allegedly" did to her.
