The suit wasn't actually against the actors, that was my rhetorical bushwa.
The "Raisin in the Sun" (that's how I always think of that housing discrimination case/issue)/reality show issue would have taken some lawyer actually thinking a little bit outside the box. Screwing up a chain of title to the tune of $17.5 million would result in a title change from "attorney" to "cafeteria worker" in a hurry. Or at least, it should.
