'Fresh Prince' star Alfonso Ribeiro sues Fortnite over use of dance his character Carlton popularized


Actor Alfonso Ribeiro is suing to stop two video game developers from selling a dance popularized by his "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" character. In two lawsuits filed Monday, Ribeiro said the companies have "unfairly profited" from using his likeness and from exploiting his "protected creative expression." Epic Games and Take-Two subsidiary 2K Games did not respond to a request for comment on Monday. The lawsuits ask a California federal court to bar the game developers from using, selling or displaying the dance. The suits state that Ribeiro is in the process of copyrighting the dance.
