Associated Press: Sean Penn has filed a $10 million defamation lawsuit against “Empire” co-creator Lee Daniels over comments Daniels made comparing him to the show’s star Terrence Howard, who’s been accused of domestic violence. “That poor boy (Terrence) ain’t done nothing different than Marlon Brando or Sean Penn,” Daniels had said. “That’s a sign of time, of race, of where we are right now in America.” Penn’s lawsuit says Daniels’ statements were egregious and injured Penn’s credibility and reputation.
