The director and star of hit documentary Super Size Me is being sued over his admission of sexual harassment and misconduct.
Morgan Spurlock posted a number of confessions online in a blog post titled "I am Part of the Problem" back in December, including revealing that he was once accused of rape.
The 47-year-old also admitted calling a former employee "hot pants" and "sex pants" in the office, and paying her a settlement when she quit.
Mr Spurlock said he was "seeking help" and hoped to be part of the solution by admitting his wrongdoings, but he is now facing a lawsuit.
He is being sued by Turner Entertainment Networks (TEN), which claims his public admittance scuppered a project he was due to make with the production company about women's issues.
Attempts by TEN to retrieve funds transferred to Mr Spurlock's production company Warrior Poets, which he stood down from, have apparently been met with "radio silence".
Lawyer Neal Levin wrote: "Under information and belief, due to Spurlock's Twitter confession and the resulting fall-out from the admissions, Warrior Poets is having serious internal problems and may not have the funds to compensate TEN for the breach of contract."

The planned series produced by TEN and Spurlock, named Who Rules The World?, was to focus on the "most divisive and complicated issues facing women today", including their experiences in the workplace.
Another of Spurlock's projects scrapped in the wake of his admission was his Super Size Me Sequel, Holy Chicken, which was dropped by premium streaming service YouTube Red.
