Kyla Pratt’s Ex-Manager Sues Actress Over Alleged Unpaid ‘Call Me Kat’ Commissions

Actress Kyla Pratt is being accused of not paying the parties allegedly responsible for helping secure her a role on the Fox sitcom Call Me Kat.

According to RadarOnline, court documents reveal that the management company Industry Entertainment Partners has filed a lawsuit against Kyla Pratt, 36, for breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and negligent misrepresentation.

In the lawsuit, Industry Entertainment Partners claim the Disney Channel star entered into a personal management agreement with them in August 2018. According to the company, they managed the star for over 2 years.

As part of their agreement, the entertainment company is claiming that Kyla Pratt agreed verbally and in writing to pay commissions from her earnings from the Fox sitcom, Call Me Kat.

“Pratt has performed in Call Me Kat and related projects. However, despite the parties’ agreement Pratt has refused to pay all the amounts she owed to [Industry Entertainment Partners].”

The company notes that despite numerous demands for payments, the “One on One” actress has failed to make the payments. The lawsuit alleges at the time the agreement was entered, Pratt made,

“material misrepresentations to [Industry Entertainment Partners] concerning her intentions to pay [Industry Entertainment Partners] the commissions arising from her earnings from Call Me Kat and related projects. However, Pratt had no reasonable ground to believe that she will actually pay [Industry Entertainment Partners’] commissions in full and made misrepresentations with the intent of continuing to obtain [Industry Entertainment Partners’] artist and management services.”

Reportedly, the lawsuit demands that Kyla Pratt be ordered to pay unspecified damages and restitution for her actions.

Pratt has been a part of Call Me Kat since season one’s premiere in 2021. The show stars Mayim Bialik, Swoosie Kurtz, and the late Leslie Jordan. Production on the show was paused after his tragic death in October.

Kyla Pratt is an actress who rose to fame in the 90s and early 2000s. She provided the voice of Penny Proud in the first animated series for Disney Channel called The Proud Family. She reprised the role when the series was rebooted earlier this year. Fans may also know her as Breanna Latrice Barnes in UPN’s One on One.

After playing the daughter of Eddie Murphy‘s character in the films Dr. Dolittle and Dr. Dolittle 2, Pratt became the main character in the remake series of the franchise such as Dr. Dolittle 3, Dr. Dolittle: Tail to the Chief, and Dr. Dolittle: Million Dollar Mutts.
