Weinsteins Sue Bravo For Refusing To Promote "Project Runway"

Bravo isn't the only one claiming it's been damaged by the decision to move "Project Runway" to Lifetime.

In papers filed Friday in federal court in New York, producer the Weinstein Co. claims Bravo intentionally refused to promote Season 5 of the reality series because of the move and is seeking unspecified damages.

TWC said some of the things Bravo did to sabotage the ratings and value of the show included changing the show's airtime; running a small number of ads; creating "mundane and unappealing" ads; providing little information for the press about the season premiere; and revealing spoilers about future episodes.

The company also alleges that when Bravo began to suspect that the show might move to a rival network, it created "copycat shows" based on the "Runway" format.
