Nicci Gilbert, TV producer and former member of R&B group Brownstone, filed a lawsuit against the network Starz and its tv series P-Valley on January 12, 2022 accusing them of copyright infringement.
P-Valley is a series that follows the lives of strippers and the characters they attract into the club set in Mississippi. The show is based on a play by Katori Hall. The show first aired in 2020.
Gilbert claims the show has numerous similarities to her musical stage play, “Soul Kittens Cabaret”, which was released in 2011 on DVD, starring R&B singers Fantasia Barrino and Faith Evans.
Soul Kittens Cabaret focused on seven women and their journey through self-discovery all while they balance temptations and personal issues,
Reportedly, the claim alleges that the series is a “veritable unauthorized 2020 knock-off of Plaintiff’s ‘Soul Kittens Cabaret,”.
“It’s the court’s decision, but I truly believe I deserve to be heard,” said Gilbert, according to TheJasmineBrand.com.
Gilbert also stated that P-Valley fans should be able to pick up on how the two productions “mirror” one another. The courts will decide if there is any validity in Gilbert’s claims and if copyright infringement is indeed involved.

When I first heard about this dilemma, I researched and found Ms. Gilbert’s play. My honest and personal opinion is there’s no comparison outside of the subject matter. It would seem that whenever something comes out and it’s popping, somebody always compares it to what was a similarity of their thoughts. P-Valley is hot and pooping and adored by the masses. I’d suggest the masses to pull up Ms. Gilbert’s play and make your own decisions, by opinion is outside of it be the same subject matter, there’s no comparison between the two bodies of work.
