Oksana Baiul Sues I Got Screwed Outta $1 Mil 'Cause I Don't Talk Good English

Published | Updated

Olympic figure skating legend Oksana Baiul says she should be AT LEAST $1 million richer ... if not for talent agents who took advantage of the fact that she sucks at speaking English ... this according to a new lawsuit obtained by TMZ.

Baiul -- who was born and raised in the Ukraine -- is suing the powerful William Morris Endeavor agency ... claiming they locked her into a series of contracts back in 1994 when she was 16 ... and she didn't understand the paperwork because of her poor grasp of the English language.

In the suit, filed in the L.A. County Superior Court, Baiul claims that because she didn't understand the contracts ... she didn't realize that she had unintentionally allowed WME to distribute portions of her earnings to people with whom she claims she has no relationship.

There's more ... Baiul also claims WME has not paid her in full for her work on several projects -- including the Oksana Baiul Jewelry Collection, various TV specials, greeting cards and two books.

Oksana claims she only realized the misdeeds when she hired a new personal manager in 2011 ... who launched an investigation into her finances.

In total, Baiul says WME owes her more than $1 million in lost earnings and other damages.

Calls to WME have not been returned.

Published | Updated

Unemployed NFL star Chad Johnson is a deadbeat dad who belongs in jail if he continues his deadbeat ways -- this according to one of Chad's baby mamas.

Andrea Pearson -- who had a son with Chad back in 2010 -- just filed legal docs in Miami, claiming Chad has failed to pay his child support bill of $5,250 on October 15th ... and has consistently been late paying his previous bills.

It's the opposite of a slam dunk ... in fact it's more like a devastating defeat ... L.A. Lakers exec Jeanie Buss unloaded her L.A. mansion ... for nearly $1 MILLION LESS THAN SHE PAID.

Buss -- ya know the daughter of Lakers' head honcho Jerry Buss and girlfriend of Phil Jackson -- purchased the 4,266-sqaure-foot-digs back in 2007 ... for a cool $2,769,000.

Fast forward 5 years ... Buss recently sold the 4-bedroom, 5-bath-pad for $1.8 million. For those of you with stellar math skills ... that means she lost $969,000 on the sale.

The bright side ... the Lakers are 3-5. And just fired their coach. So not a lot of "bright."

But hey, she's still rich!
