Lisa Kudrow ordered to pay ex-manager $1.6M

February 26, 2014 (SANTA MONICA, Calif.)

The Los Angeles County Superior Court jury returned its verdict Tuesday in a lawsuit filed by Scott Howard. He claimed he had an oral agreement with the actress and was owed a percentage of her earnings on the hit NBC sitcom.

Kudrow contended during the trial that she had already paid Howard more than $11 million before they parted ways in 2007.

City News Service says testimony during the trial indicated that Kudrow was earning more than $1 million per episode by the end of the show's run. Kudrow starred on "Friends" from 1994 to 2004.

Howard worked with Kudrow for 16 years, beginning in 1991.
