Fuqua Targeted In New Tax Demand

TRAINING DAY director ANTOINE FUQUA is the latest star to run into financial problems - he’s been hit with a demand for unpaid taxes.

The filmmaker, who is preparing to helm a biopic about slain rapper Tupac Shakur, had an $85,845 (£57,230) lien filed against him on 3 May (10) by California officials, reports the Detroit News.

Public records indicate it’s not the first time Fuqua has run into tax trouble - he and his actress wife Lela Rochon were accused of owing $371,729 (£247,800) to the Internal Revenue Service in 2008 and a further $44,163 (£29,400) last year (09).

California authorities also filed a $109,037 (£72,690) lien against the couple in 2008 and a $9,329 (£6,219) claim last year (09).
