Eva Longoria's Beso restaurants have been raking up trouble for her. First, the Las Vegas branch has filed for bankruptcy, then an investor in her Los Angeles branch is suing him for allegedly running an illegal scheme.
The
"Desperate Housewives" actress is accused of lending $1 million to the
Hollywood hotspot's parent company, which is apparently illegal. She
lent the money with the agreement that she'd get paid back at a huge
amount of interest, racking up $4.6 million over 2 years.As TMZ explained, investor Mali Nachum claims Eva's deal violates the California law and cuts into his percent of the company.
Nachum is seeking more than $4 million in damages.
Eva's rep told the website, "This is a desperate reaction in a lawsuit without merit by prior partners who, through their unauthorized and fraudulent actions, required Eva Longoria to seek reorganization protection through bankruptcy court in Nevada."
Last week, Eva and her co-investors filed for bankruptcy for their Sin City Beso branch for restructuring purposes.
