Director Salim Akil Sued by Side Chick for Domestic Abuse Sexual Assault and Breach of Contract

Girlfriends creator Mara Brock Akil’s husband Salim Akil accused of shocking sexual misconduct…
A lawsuit filed by Amber Dixon Brenner on November 20, 2018, in California claims the actor had a years-long “physically and sexually abusive relationship” with Salim Akil, who has produced and directed episodes of BET’s The Game and Being Mary Jane, as well as the CW’s Black Lightning, and the 2012 film Sparkle. In addition to domestic violence, Brenner is suing Akil for breach of contract over a script she claims she wrote based on their relationship that Akil mined for other projects without proper credit.
