Chris Tucker and Netflix are being sued over Tucker’s upcoming special

That being said, Tucker’s attorney, Marty Singer, seemed confident that the case would be dismissed, calling it “absurd and completely without merit,” a statement which is a lot funnier if you imagine Chris Tucker leaning into frame and screaming “You got knocked the fugg out!” immediately afterward. It’s also possible that this is all a big misunderstanding, and that the issue will be resolved once Tucker and Hodges find a way to meaningfully communicate their problems to each other, presumably through the gift of shared language and understanding.

Meanwhile, judicial scholars, contract lawyers, and Tuckerologists continue to pore over the intricacies of the case, trying to find a way to also work a Fifth Element reference into the legal drama in a way that remains respectful to all participants involved.
