Friends star Lisa Kudrow ordered to pay ex-manager $1.6m

It mightn’t be Lisa Kudrow’s day, her week, her month, or even her year.

According to the BBC, the 50-year-old Friends star has been ordered to pay her former manager close to a $1.6 million, after a jury decided the actor owed him a cut of her eaings from repeats.

Scott Howard, who worked as Kudrow’s manager from 1997 to 2007, claimed he was owed five per cent of the actor’s eaings from continuing residuals of her work negotiated by him.

Kudrow, 50, said she had a verbal agreement with Mr Scott that she would only pay him for the first round of repeats.

However, since no terms were submitted in writing, the Los Angeles jury found in favour of Mr Scott, ordering Kudrow to pay him $1.6 million.

The actor, who played Phoebe Buffay in Friends, reportedly eaed more than $1m an episode by the end of the sitcom’s run in 2004.

She plans to appeal the court decision.
