Farrah Fawcett's Living Trust is Suing Documentary Producer

According to Access Hollywood, court papers filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Friday, Richard B. Francis, trustee of the Living Trust Fund for the late Fawcett, is suing executive producer Craig J. Nevius for embezzlement.

According to Francis, Nevius was rejected his cut of Fawcett's documentary, Farrah's Story, and the producer position was given to her longtime love, Ryan O'Neal. After that happened, Nevius allegedly embezzled hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Nevius responded today, denying any wrongdoing, saying that while he could prove his innocence in the court of public opinion, he will instead do it in a court of law, beating this "press release disguised as a lawsuit."

The documentary was a chronicle of Fawcett's battle with cancer and aired on NBC in 2009. Nevius says that footage, not yet released to the public, will allow Fawcett to defend him in her own words and actions.
