A producer who says she helped save the horror film Obsession is suing former colleagues, alleging she was cut out of promised profits. Leonora Ann Darby filed a breach-of-contract lawsuit against Tea Shop Productions and senior executives, claiming a long pattern of broken compensation promises.
According to multiple reports, Darby characterizes the dispute as lasting for years, tied to unequal treatment and pay among the film’s executive producers. She alleges that her fellow producers did not reward her as promised despite Obsession’s major box-office success, which the outlets describe as one of the highest-grossing horror films.
The outlets focus on different aspects of the same claim: one emphasizes the allegation that she was “scammed” out of millions in profits, while another highlights the alleged seven-year pattern of unequal treatment and broken compensation terms. Both frame the matter as a civil lawsuit seeking contractual and financial relief related to profit participation and compensation.
