As previously reported, in October, Union filed a lawsuit alleging BET and the show’s producers had reneged on an agreement that stated that she’d have a significant break between the 10-episode fourth and fifth seasons of Being Mary Jane. Union’s suit argued that BET and Being Mary Jane producers did not agree to the previously determined deal aside and attempted to have production run back-to-back and costs cut. She was seeking general damages of at least $3 million. Breakdown Productions, the producers for the series, was also a defendant in the suit.
