In 2006, Suzanne and former Kentucky Governor John Y. Brown came together with a plan to open a chain of stores called Suzanne's Kitchen that would "prepare and sell home cooked meals."
They raised approximately $1 million to get the venture off the ground, with $400,000 of it coming from John Shannon Bouchillon.
LEGAL DOCUMENTS: Summary Judgement
The project collapsed shortly after the first store opened in Lexington, Kentucky because Somers and Brown couldn't agree on just about anything. Bouchillon believes he was lied to and wants his money back!
"At the time of his investment, it was misrepresented to my client that there was an operating agreement and a licensing agreement between the Governor and Suzanne Somers," Bouchillon's attorney Craig Robertson tells Breaking Celebrity News exclusively.
