Zooey Deschanel<\/strong> is being sued by her former manager for what could be millions of dollars. Seven Summits Pictures & Management<\/strong>, who represented the 35-year old actress from unknown in 1996 to Fox TV celebrity in 2013, claims the New Girl<\/em><\/strong> signed a contract granting them post termination commissions. More specifically, they are seeking 10 percent of her earnings from the sale of the entertainment website www.hellogiggles.com<\/a><\/strong>, which the Elf <\/em><\/strong>star co-founded and sold in October for between $20 and $30 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to covering Deschanel’s entertainment activities for 17 years, the lawsuit<\/a> claims the firm actually helped with the development of Hello Giggles<\/strong>. “As an excuse, Deschanel is claiming that the signature on the agreement is not hers, an allegation that is false, as indicated by the fact that Deschanel actually paid commissions pursuant to that agreement for many years,” the lawsuit reads. Seven Summits is also seeking unpaid commissions from a Tommy Hilfinger<\/strong> advertising campaign for which the 500 Days of Summer<\/em><\/strong> actress was spokeswoman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three-time Golden Globe nominee gave birth to her first child, daughter Elsie Otter Pechenik<\/strong>, back in July. She also recently starred opposite Bill Murray<\/strong> in the Barry Levinson<\/strong> directed film Rock the Kasbah<\/em><\/strong>. She is currently on maternity leave for the holidays while her hit sitcom returns in January with Transformers<\/em><\/strong> actress Megan Fox<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
