Black Lightning Executive Producer Facing Charges

After the news broke that Black Lightning show runner and executive producer Salim Akil was facing a lawsuit for multiple counts of domestic violence and breach of contract, Warner Bros. Television is launching their own independent investigation of the charges against Akil. Akil, who serves also serves as an executive producer on the OWN series Love Is ____, is being sued by Amber Dixon Brenner for multiple incidents of physical, emotional and sexual violence allegedly committed over the past 10 years while they were engaged in an affair, which ended last year. The suit also claims that he took ideas from her screenplay and used them for projects with ABC and OWN without giving Brenner credit or paying for using her work.
