A federal lawsuit filed in Los Angeles alleges Chris Rock stole the concept for his upcoming documentary “Good Hair” from another filmmaker.

The Associated Press reports that Regina Kimbell through court documents calls Rock’s project a copycat of her film, “My Nappy Roots.” She is suing for $5 million in damages.

Kimbell is seeking an injunction to halt the screening of ‘Good Hair’ until the issue is resolved. The movie is set to open Friday in several markets and throughout the country on Oct.23.

RadarOnline has a copy of the deposition Rock gave to the Federal court in an effort to block the injunction. Rock admits to meeting with Kimbell but denies stealing her concept.

He said any injunction against the debut of his film will cause irreparable harm to his film and his image as an actor and producer.
