NEW YORK (Legal Newsline) – A former intern for the Wendy Williams Show is suing Lions Gate Entertainment for allegedly misclassifying interns and failing to pay them minimum wages.

Beginning in approximately September 2008, Lions Gate Entertainment Corporation and Debmar-Mercury LLC began to wrongfully classify Anthony Tart and other similarly situated individuals who worked on the Wendy Williams Show as exempt from minimum wages, according to a complaint filed Oct. 3 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
