A founder of the country band Sugarland is suing the two current members of the popular group for $1.5 million.
According to a lawsuit filed late last month in U.S. District Court in Atlanta, Kristen Hall was to get a cut of the group's profits even after she left in 2005 for a solo career. The lawsuit says Hall, who founded the band in 2002, has an agreement with Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush to equally share profits and losses.
Hall says in the lawsuit that she has been excluded from the group's profits since she left.
Sugarland's publicist referred calls to the band's attorney, Gary Gilbert, who was unavailable for comment.
The band's album, "Love on the Inside," released last month, is No. 1 on Billboard music charts.
