According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Daniel Lief filed the lawsuit last September when the actress made apologies for not making an appearance on the set of his film Promoted, in which she was slated to play the lead. Her Twitter account at the time allegedly showed that she was holidaying with friends in Italy.
Lief claims that the delay that was caused cost him $300,000 in production delays and having to find a new actor to play the lead. So far, Barton hasn't publicly commented on the case.
Last year Barton brought her own legal proceedings against her mother, Nuala Barton, for an undisclosed sum alleging that she stole from her. In July this year, the two found themselves in court again over different matters concerning the sale of Barton's house. The former The OC star claims her mother hindered the sale, claims which her mother also levelled at her daughter.
