“Vigliano claims the original deal only applied to Joanna-authored books, so the move essentially took the book deal from 5 books down to 3 … and, as a result, meant much less pay for Vigliano.”
The document continued to allege that Joanna signed a contract with a different agent instead of using them and that the money made from her new book titled, “The Stories We Tell: Every Piece of Your Story Matters,” should be going to the Vigliano company instead. Vigliano is now seeking a minimum of $1 million in damages over the issue.
Speaking of her new book, Gaines posted on her Instagram account saying, “Earlier this year I started jotting down memories and stories from my past, journaling about things I was still, years later, trying to work through.”
She continued to write, “Half of my life is behind me and I’ve been longing for clarity about what I should carry forward and how I could hold this next chapter well.”
