According to TMZ, Marlon Wayans is being Sued for racial
discrimination and harassment.
Pierre Daniel says he was hired for a part in
"A Haunted House 2"
-- written and produced by Marlon -- and last September Marlon posted a
side-by-side pic of Daniel and the animated character Cleveland Brown
on social media. The pic was captioned, "Tell me this n***a don't look
like ... THIS N***A!!! Ol Cleveland Brown ass lookin."
Honestly, seems like there's a slight resemblance -- but in his lawsuit,
Daniel says Marlon wasn't cracking a joke ... he was essentially
cyber-bullying.
Daniel says Marlon's post was racially motivated
and mocked his appearance, especially his afro.
Daniel also accuses Marlon of leering
at him and rolling his eyes.
The lawsuit does not say where any
of this went down -- but Daniel says the comparison seriously injured
him by causing "shock, pain, discomfort and/or anxiety" ... and as a
result he can no longer work as an actor.
He's suing Marlon and
the movie's production company for unspecified damages.
