This may be a reason actors shouldn't invest in restaurants.
Two former employees of the celebrity-owned Shin BBQ are suing the Hollywood restaurant, which is backed by several stars of the big and small screen. They are accusing the restaurant of failing to pay overtime, failing to pay for rest periods, failing to pay for meal periods and failing to pay minimum wage, as well as for unfair competition and violating the fair labor standards act.
The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court Tuesday, lists "Law Abiding Citizen" star Gerard Butler, "That '70s Show" stars Laura Prepon and Danny Masterson and "Malcolm in the Middle" actor Chris Masterson as owners of Shin BBQ.
