[READ: From Toya Carter to Toya Wright to NY Times Bestselling Author!]
Farrah Gray Publishing is reportedly planning to sue the reality star for failing to adequately promote her book. Farrah Gray, the owner of the company, plans to file the lawsuit n the U.S. Federal Court in the Northern District of Georgia with claims that Toya has engaged in “…direct, contributory and vicarious inducement of copyright infringement, unfair competition and breach of contract.“
Toya hit the tweets last night to relay her disgust about the situation:
In addition to her public outcry via the social networking site, Toya’s publicist released an official response, stating:
Mrs. Wright consistently went above and beyond her contractual obligations which included: Self- funding a college tour promoting Priceless Inspirations, Cross promotion of her Ampro endorsement by placing the book cover on Ampro products nationwide and allowing Farrah Gray Publishing the platform to promote her book on her highly successful reality show on Black Entertainment Television.
It apparently isn’t the first time Farrah Gray Publishing sued authors for similar circumstances. SandraRose wrote an “On Blast” post last year where another author says she was charged over $92,000 for “tweets and facebook fans that he said we acquired because of the book.”
He has refused to pay us a dime or give us our rights back to our book, prior to the law suit we requested that he sign back our rights to us and that he could keep the money that he stole. Initially he agreed to do so, but later backed out of the release agreement.
The author goes on to say that the publisher’s accounting of the royalty statements from the book “were grossly inaccurate and incomplete.”
Toya situation is similar in that she reminded the publisher that she is actually owed money from their deal AND that her book just so happened to be company’s ONLY NY times bestseller….
Let’s hope this situation gets resolved before it hits the courtroom.

Toya is delusional!! First of all, You Are Not The Author! Second of all, did you research this publisher before signing away your soul? Seems like you jumped on the first offer to write a book. You were hot back then. But now not even your name is selling the books. So ol’ girl wants her money back or at least what she invested in you. Toya Wright its part of the game. Don’t you know you must mention that book every time you open your mouth?? Maybe one day you’ll learn to stop chasing that almighty dollar.
FYI: Stay off tweeter and let you lawer handle it. Your tweets look like your afraid this thing may actual go through…
Welp I guess Ms. Reginae gont haft to go back to the omg girlz after all of this….. -_-
I SAID THE SAME THING . LET YOUR PUBLISHER HANDLE THE BACKLASH. YOU DONT SEE TOM CRUISE ON TWITTER. SO GHETTO!!!
She can’t help it, she is real ghetto, uneducated, and a downright fame whore and not business savy at all….twitter just ain’t the place for this.They all want to be famous. I don’t get it, just sit back and let reginae have the shine cause you are not a star nor were you meant to be. We are not interested in you or your soft ass hubby toya. Disappear………
#TeamToya
At Chi lol okay first this Farrah Grey is not a she it’s a he. And if you followed Toya you would know everything this chick does she do it with her book by her side. Her book been out two years n she still doing book signings at EMF2012. I can’t understand why folks don’t like this chick, I guess cause she a female doing her not living off her Mans or baby daddy money we just got to hate her huh.
Me neither, I never understood where all the hate came from (I guess it was because of her current relations with Memphitz and his drama…..again, that’s just my guess). I always thought she was promoting that book every chance she got, I mean she had to have done something right to get it on the NYTimes Bestseller List. That’s not no easy feet.
But the post does say that this isn’t the first time this dude has done something like that. I wanna know was she fully aware of who she signed up for or if he’s just shady as all hell.
Looks like Toya might have got a bad deal. Instead of suing her, they should be out there promoting the damn book!
What do you call this people? Promotion! Someone already said why not handle this with a lawyer? Exactly. Well she cant.
Media Stunt b/c the her 15 minutes are up…
Yes, SHE is doing her job. The publisher needs to get on theirs. I know too many people with bad book deals. It just aint right.
Cut throat n*ggahs just tryin’ to roll this chic. Still tryin’ to get some Lil’ Wayne support check money.
Actually, Farrah is quite a successful business man. She is not dealing with some dude off the street. Farrakhan Muhammad a.k.a Farrah Gray is said to have had money since he was 14. Everything isn’t what it seems.
Farrakhan Muhammad is Khalid Abdul Muhammads son. He lied in his biography bt omitting that his father trained him as a JRFOI to sell inscene bean pies and to be industrous. Because Min Farrakhan denounced him he lost all popularity and thus income. Thus Farah Gray was born a neutral identity pondering to self help promotions. His father taught him he is seen in early Khallid videos. No love no respect for Farrah Gray for denying his father.
In order for him to be accepted in the business world, he had to do that. You cant ask for funding with his Dad’s history or a link to Farrakhan. Ask Arsenio Hall.
I read Farrah Greys autobiography several years ago. He is very smart made millions before he was twenty one. He is a rags to riches story. This lawsuit with Toya hopefully they come to an arrangement but I am tired of celebs writting all their issues on twitter
nope, dont follow Toya much unless she in the headlines for defending her abusive husband or kickin it with Wayne’s other 12 baby mama’s. What I do know is she should have been schooled a litle bit better. I lnow she was at EMF but how long did she promote that book??? One day. Heck I saw her raggedy brother more on Bourbon Street than I saw her at the convention center. And the party she hosted……..didnt have any books. I like Toya but we got to do better and stop chasing that dollar!!
I’m starting to think that Farrah Grey is a preditor. This is the second person that I’ve read about that he’s attempting to sue for the exact same reason. In the last suit, he wanted to charge the lady 93000 for tweets. I don’t promote foolishness but someone needs to send the goons to check on this dude.
Please be careful who you marry!
Media stunt or not it worked because I totally forgot she had a book.
I didn’t forget she had a book. It isn’t anything I’m interested in reading. Sounds like it’s a book for young people. I’m a mature woman. I have some priceless inspirations of my own to share. You think Mr. Farrah Grey will put me on?
OMG when the heck did her book come out. Couple years my daughter mentioned she wanted to read it when it came out. I have been looking in stores from time to time in case I missed any annoucements of it being released. This situation was handled unprofessionally by both parties.
Loving this site–u may have a point–I didn’t know she had a book so I went to amazon to check it not, I have a Kindle,,I only buy books that are free, which alot are, you’d be suprised or under 2.99 hers it $8.00–so this did NOT spark my interest…all this media attention may get more books sold, and why battle on Twitter, if this is for real this is a matter for your lawyers, not followers on Twitter..I luv her style but not that interested in her "story"
No offense but Toya kills me with this everybodies hating on me syndrome & doesn’t want to see me successful toya please if you handled your business correctly you wouldn’t have these problems I think shes beautiful & has a fashion sense you can’t deny but outside of that nobody has a reason to hate sorry hun…. toya you have come along way but don’t loose yourself in the hype you have worked very hard and I don’t doubt that but her attitude is stank …..
Toya please shut up,you’re famous because Lil Wayne donated some sperm to you, so now you have umpteen million dollars to take care of your ghetto ass family.
Exactly! This bish ain’t worked for shit that she got that’s why she don’t get any real respect. Her "fan" base consists of other thirsty bishes (such as herself) who looking for the next come up.
she once said she has over a million twitter followers, well let me tell you honey, half the people who follow you on twitter are not fans, they are just trying to see the hot ghetto mess-ness first hand and Toya gives it to them everytime. She is so beautiful but so damn thirsty and she is a prime example of "you can take a girl out the ghetto but you can’t take the ghetto out the girl". People always talk about her speech and diction, WHY WON’T YOU SHUT DOWN THE "HATERS" AND GO BACK TO SCHOOL!!!!GET A DEGREE IN FASHION OR SOMETHING
This heffa get’s on my nerves. She just so damn desperate for fame and attn. Her marriage is just a cover up if Wayne would take her back she would be gone before you could say Memphitz. To answer the question why don’t ppl like her? Because she’s a fake bitch thats why.
yep, she was on her show trying to figure out if she was still in love with Wayne then the next thing you know she is engaged to no hits havin memphitz…IJS. PROgress Toya, not REgress
I don’t know Toya or Farrah, but I will say this.
Farrah was a child prodigy. He was a millionaire and a published author by the time he was 16 or 17 years old. He is definitely about his business. I hope that Toya has a good lawyer. You must read the fine print in these contracts.
It may simply be a break down in communication, but Toya’s idea of sufficient promotion vs. Farrah’s idea of sufficient promotion may be two very different things.
If memory serves me right, seems like Phaedra Parks represented her when she signed her book deal. Oh lawd!!! Phaedra didn’t read the fine print.
so does that mean Phaedra cant read either cause we all know Toya can’t read. Maybe if they turne the contract into a music video they would have better understood…SMD. Atlanta and all these "peaches" are getting on my last nerves
[…] Wright consistently went above and beyond her contractual obligations which included: Self- funding a college tour promoting Priceless Inspirations, Cross promotion of her Ampro endorsement by placing the book […]
Toya doesn’t understand, the company you keep…
Memphitz is not well liked by the public, his character is questionable at best. Toyas attitude seems to stink while she’s with him and that’s why she’s recieving so much negative backlash. Toya seemed much sweeter before Memphitz. I just can’t believe that Toya can’t see that Memphitz is using her. Is she really that blind? Where does their money come from? Besides Waynes child support? Memphitz is a has been, he has no REAL money and Reginae will be 18 in a few years, good luck with that.
I like toya and i think her and memphitz are to cute however she isn’t very humble.she seems to be a much different person from the tiny and toya show,she’s always in the mirrior ,middle finger up,haters this haters that,im going on vacation here and there,my girls this and that that’s all cool but be humble who are you trying to impress be you…i miss that humble person sitting in a cafe writing in her life story todays toya is nothing like her that may just be why her and her brother and his wife lotasha had not been getting alone.she needs to pull an evelyn and right to her younger self or something.
You’ve got to dot all the I’s and cross all the T’s when signing a contract. I don’t know what occurred but people are shady so you have to go over contracts with the finest tooth comb available. Wish her the best.
All her combs are currently being used right now to fix her weave, you know- IMAGE FIRST!!!! smdh
Who cares if she posts on twitter if u don’t like it don’t follow her….its not ghetto to tweet on your own page. Too many haters …the devil is all around and we rebuke u.
Toya is that you??? Lol no "hate" intended since she swears this is the case since this is all a very #small minded individual"can come up with… Lol you don’t get on twitter discussing a potential lawsuit especially when those tweets can be used against you ….. Toya has a lot going for her no doubt but everything she has was handled to her just off the strength of who she’s associated with and that’s in all honesty secondly you don’t have to follow her on twitter to see her tweets I. E were on a blog as we speak this is a nationally viewed platform as well it’s not like her tweets are private lmao….all I can say is god doesn’t like ugly & also watch the company you keep everything that looks good isn’t good if you know what I mean. Toya is beautiful but she’s not too bright and that’s obvious although this is sad I can’t say I didn’t see this coming irregardless I still wish her the best. P.s and her rep better come with some damage control because there was some serious defamation of character in those tweets good luck
