Apparently, the accused has tried to extort money from wealthy stars in the past as well. Here’s what happened as per The Sun:
“This film has been a bit of a nightmare. Onestaffer has been sacked, and there are investigations after someone tried to get access to £33,000 in cash from Jamie Foxx.

During an interview with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show, the actress mentioned that she was excited to work with Foxx. She said:
“I did that for so long, it’s kind of like the process, I kind of just fell back into it. But it feels a little bit different.

He’s so great, he’s so easy, he’s so professional, he’s so talented, and just being able to work with him.”
But The Sun reports that the current debacle has made her want to get back in retirement again. As per the site,“She hates drama and confrontation. This is why she retired in the first place.”It remains to be seen how the current problem gets solved.
