Pawn Stars cast members are reportedly being sued by their ex-manager Wayne Jefferies for an alleged breach of contract.
According to a report by TMZ, Jefferies claims that in 2007 he took the owners and employees of Gold & Silver Pawn - Rick, Corey, the Old Man and Chumlee - and made them rich and famous by sealing a reality television show for them on A&E and the History Channel.
The report goes on to note that things fell apart earlier this year when the network became upset over a story Jefferies claims he leaked to TMZ. The story detailed how the Pawn Stars cast was blindsided when they learned A&E had commissioned a Cajun Pawn Stars spinoff.
When the network found out about the leak, network executives pressured the Old Man and the rest of the cast members to sever ties with Jefferies' management duties for interfering, which is exactly what they did.
Jefferies notes that because of him Pawn Stars quickly became the second-highest rated reality-TV show behind Jersey Shore.
Pawn Stars shop's owners, Rick Harrison and father Richard Harrison, had previously tried to launch a reality-TV show based at their pawn shop and failed.
Pawn Stars is currently in its sixth season and follows the Gold & Silver Pawn shop fellows, who attempt to buy and sell rare and often historical items.
