The world’s most famous primatologist (a.k.a. chimp expert) Jane Goodall is suing none other than Tyler Florence (or, rather, the baby-food company he co-founded, Sprout). What could possibly spark such ire? She signed on with Sprout to release a baby product, “Janey Baby by Jane Goodall.” It seems Sprout neither marketed nor sold her product per the terms of the contract, so she is now claiming they owe her $720,000 in royalties. Florence hasn’t issue a statement himself, but Sprout promises to “defend itself vigorously.” [NYP]
