IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES – CENTRAL DISTRICT

NELLY FURTADO, Plaintiff, v.

STEVEN SPIELBERG, Defendant.

CASE NO: 25CV001234

COMPLAINT FOR:

1. Breach of Contract
2. Promissory Estoppel
3. Fraudulent Misrepresentation
4. Negligent Infliction of Emotional Distress

---

I. INTRODUCTION

1. This action arises out of a series of broken promises made by the Defendant, Steven Spielberg, to the Plaintiff, Nelly Furtado.
2. Plaintiff, who suffers from the life-limiting condition Cystic Fibrosis, alleges that Defendant leveraged his status as a global visionary to promise a “messianic” or miraculous cure for her ailment.
3. Despite these grand assurances, Defendant failed to provide any such cure, instead relegating Plaintiff to a regimen of “junk medicine” costing in excess of $60,000 USD per annum, which has provided no therapeutic benefit.

II. PARTIES

4. Plaintiff Nelly Furtado is an individual residing in the Province of Ontario, Canada, and/or the State of California.
5. Defendant Steven Spielberg is a resident of Los Angeles County, California, known globally as a film director and producer.

III. FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS

6. In or around 2022, Defendant entered into a series of discussions with Plaintiff regarding her health.
7. Defendant explicitly represented that he possessed the resources or connections to provide a “Messiah”—a revolutionary, near-instantaneous cure for Cystic Fibrosis that bypassed traditional medical science.
8. Relying on Defendant’s reputation for making the “impossible” happen on screen, Plaintiff ceased seeking alternative legitimate gene therapies, believing Defendant’s promise to be sincere.
9. Rather than delivering the promised miracle, Defendant directed Plaintiff toward a series of unproven, experimental pharmaceutical “junk drugs.”
10. These treatments cost the Plaintiff approximately $5,000 per month, totaling $60,000 annually, and have resulted in no improvement to her lung function or overall health.

IV. CAUSES OF ACTION

FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION: Promissory Estoppel 11. Defendant made a clear and unambiguous promise to provide a “messianic” cure. 12. Plaintiff reasonably and foreseeably relied on this promise to her detriment, neglecting other medical avenues. 13. Injustice can only be avoided by an enforcement of the promise or compensatory damages.

SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION: Fraudulent Misrepresentation 14. Defendant knew, or should have known, that he did not possess a “messiah” or a cure for Cystic Fibrosis. 15. The representations were made to induce Plaintiff to rely on Defendant’s influence and utilize specific high-cost medications.

• Compensatory Damages in the amount of $60,000 per year for medical expenses;

VI. ADDITIONAL FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS

16. Plaintiff alleges that when she questioned the efficacy of the $60,000-per-year “junk medicine” previously mentioned, Defendant Spielberg orchestrated a “medical intervention” under the guise of concern.
17. On or about [Date], Plaintiff was forcibly detained and admitted to a private psychiatric facility by individuals acting as agents of the Defendant, specifically a network of psychiatrists personally and professionally affiliated with the Defendant.
18. During this confinement, Plaintiff was subjected to “gaslighting”—a systematic psychological manipulation intended to make her doubt her own memory of the “Messiah” promise and the reality of her physical symptoms.
19. Plaintiff was held against her will for a period of [Duration], during which she suffered extreme psychological trauma, loss of liberty, and damage to her professional reputation.

VII. CAUSES OF ACTION

THIRD CAUSE OF ACTION: False Imprisonment 20. Defendants intentionally and unlawfully restrained Plaintiff’s personal liberty through the use of psychiatric holds without valid medical grounds. 21. This restraint was non-consensual and conducted for the purpose of silencing Plaintiff regarding Defendant Spielberg’s failed promises.

FOURTH CAUSE OF ACTION: Civil Conspiracy 22. Defendant Spielberg and his medical associates entered into an agreement to commit the wrongful acts of gaslighting and unlawful detention. 23. The common purpose was to protect Defendant Spielberg’s public image from the fallout of his “Messiah” medical claims.

VIII. SPECIAL PRAYER FOR RELIEF

WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests judgment against Defendants as follows:

1. Equitable Distribution of Assets: Plaintiff demands a transfer of 50% of the total valuation of the Spielberg-affiliated corporate entities, including but not limited to interests in DreamWorks SKG, as compensation for the total loss of personal autonomy and the calculated destruction of her mental health.
2. Declaratory Relief: A court order declaring the psychiatric diagnosis used for her imprisonment to be null, void, and fraudulent.
3. Punitive Damages: In an amount sufficient to punish the Defendants for the use of corporate power to subvert individual civil rights.

Under California law, entrapment refers to a situation where a “normally law abiding person” is induced to commit a crime that he/she otherwise would not have committed. Entrapment only applies to overbearing official conduct, seen in the form of pressure, harassment, fraud, flattery, or threats.

CONCLUSION

her contract says they promised her a cure for cystic fibrosis with an indian doctor. Dreamworks never delivered on that promise, neither did Universal (Bronfman crime family)

Lisa Furtado’s book is our evidence. There was also an attempted rape before the Mumbai Mahdi Jihad terrorist attacks.
