Sylvester Stallone's Trainer Files $7 Million Lawsuit Against Him

Sylvester Stallone's NBC training and weight loss TV series ‘Strong’ ended last week. The show got a great response from the viewers. It featured 20 contestants, 10 male trainers and 10 female trainees, who helped their trainees in improving their physical fitness. The show was a hit but the Creed actor who produced the show has been slapped with a seven million dollars lawsuit.

Reports suggest that his personal trainer Robert Fletcher has filed a lawsuit against the Bullet to the Head actor. Fletcher has accused the action star of stealing his idea for the show. He claimed that he came up with the idea of such show named ‘America’s Next Great Trainer' and sent his pitch materials to Stallone's publicist, and also to agents at William Morris Endeavor.

The first season of the show ended early this month and Jill May and her trainer Bennie Wylie won the show. The contestant lost 19 percent of her body fat and also gained 24 pounds of muscle. It is to be seen whether the makers will return with the second season of the show or not.
