Arnold Schwarzenegger is reportedly stressed due to recent accusations against him.

As fans will be aware, the filmmaker has been accused of stealing the idea of an entrepreneur Aharon Jason Curtis for his Netflix show FUBAR.

In the wake of these events, a tipster shared with In Touch Weekly how this lawsuit is impacting Arnold in the worst way possible.

“At his age, Arnold’s no longer Mr. Invincible. He’s reeling from this and desperately furious. It’s really ticked him off and he’s losing sleep over it,” the source began.

They went on to add, “It’s getting to the point where there will be subpoenas and depositions and Arnie’s worried he’ll be dragged into it and waste valuable time.”

The source continued, “He assumed he’d be beyond these things by now, but he has to deal with it,” adding, “He’s not nearly as strong as he likes to pretend,” the source admits. “He should be taking it easy in his old age.”

Wrapping up the chat, the insider shared, “It’s bad enough that he’s still working, but the last thing he needs is the anxiety of this lawsuit,” noting, “Everyone is trying to keep him calm and remind him he’s not the one on trial. But it’s still stressing him out, which is terrible for his heart.”

So the article is misleading and terrible. Essentially this guy named Aharon Jason Curtis, who was a one hit wonder 20 years ago, had an idea for an app but never created an actual app for said idea and now wants a payday.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's Netflix show FUBAR is being accused of plagiarism, legal letters obtained by DailyMail.com show.

A major plot point in the action series revolves around a supermarket app invented by Schwarzenegger’s character’s son – but an entrepreneur says show writers stole the app idea from him, and is demanding $1.5 million compensation.

Entrepreneur and former rock star Aharon Jason Curtis claims he came up with the idea for ‘Aisle’ in 2015, an app that knows the location of items in grocery stores, plots a route through the store, reminds users of items they forgot, and allows them to scan bar codes.

Curtis, 54, says he only told two people: his manager at the time, who ‘now works as a writer specializing in scripts for action films and streaming series’ according to a legal letter, and a friend ‘who is now a writer working at Netflix in Los Angeles’.

Curtis – who, as Aharon, had fleeting fame with his 2004 hit Dreamer – says he was ‘shocked’ when he turned on the TV in September 2023 and saw his app idea featured in FUBAR.

‘In FUBAR, Schwarzenegger’s character’s son, Oscar, played by Devon Bostick, develops an app that is unmistakably copied directly from the Aisle app that Curtis developed,’ an April 3 letter from Curtis’s attorney Edward Johnson to Netflix, Skydance Television and Blackjack Films, said.

‘The app in FUBAR is designed to optimize the grocery-shopping experience in the same way as Aisle—in any supermarket it “will tell you the exact aisle the item you’re looking for is in.”

‘The app in FUBAR even has an almost identical name—“Maisle,” explained as pushing together “my” and “Aisle.”

‘In total, Aisle features in at least four episodes (half the series) and is mentioned no less than seven times.’

Neither Skydance nor Netflix responded to DailyMail.com's requests for comment.

The lawyer's letter accuses the production companies of ‘copyright infringement’, ‘trade secret misappropriation’ and ‘unjust enrichment’.

‘When I watched FUBAR for the first time, I was like, what the? Wait a minute! That’s my idea, I wrote that! That’s my app!’ Curtis told DailyMail.com.


‘I felt violated. Like someone had come into my home, someone I trusted and stolen from me.’

‘Mr. Curtis is prepared to forego litigation and provide a full release for a payment of $1.5 million,’ his lawyer’s letter said. ‘If we don’t hear from you, we intend to promptly commence a court action to vindicate Mr. Curtis’ rights.’

On May 24 Skydance’s attorneys hit back with their own letter denying the claims.

Nicolas Jampol of law firm Davis Wright Tremaine LLP wrote that Curtis’s idea was ‘unprotectable’ because he hadn’t actually built the app yet.

‘While you contend that your client has “conceived” of the App, and written down some ideas for the App, he has not actually developed or created the App, or fixed the App “in any tangible medium of expression”,’ Jampol wrote.

He added that ‘Skydance produced the Series, not Netflix’, and that Curtis had failed to show any links between his confidants and Skydance needed for a copyright claim.

Jampol argued that other apps with similar ideas already existed, so there were no ‘trade secrets’ in the case.

However, in an interview with DailyMail.com, Curtis’s lawyer Johnson pointed out that the Skydance lawyers did not provide ‘any factual rebuttal’ to his client’s claims.

Curtis says he is now preparing to file a lawsuit against Netflix, Skydance and others.

‘I want to be fairly compensated and credited for my work,’ he said.
 
Hmm, pretty sure those hand scanners Walmart (and other stores) employees use also tell you exactly where to find an item in the store. Sounds like Curtis stole the idea from them.
 
"Aharon"


From that cutesy "custom" name alone, I KNOW this guy is an insufferable twat.

did he ever pretend to be 'strong' in that sense or was he just going along with what other people said about him?
if so its an unfair remark. besides that, i have no comment. i just dislike blaming someone for failing to live up to the expectations you project onto them - unless those expectations are things like 'he wouldn't get drunk at work' or 'he'll stop shooting gear now that he's a father,' in which case its fair to be annoyed.
that's all.
 
He's 77. How do you write an article about his "old age" without mentioning it?

The original GigaChad by the way. Eat your heart out Ernest.

This isn't a new idea at all. Most big-box stores have handheld barcode scanners for their sales floor/stockroom employees that can do all of this.

Yeah, copyright law doesn't cover ideas. You have to actually make something. If he had at least filed a trademark for Aisle, he might have a case, but this just sounds like a retard fishing for a settlement from someone with deep pockets and getting in way over his head.
 
Wait what the fuck? He's suing because someone made a fictional app in a series that is sort of like an app he never created? He should be awarded all money made from the sale of this this fictional app, which is nothing.
 
so let me get this straight, he was fine when people knew he was cheating on his wife multiple times with multiple women, but being sued is what causes him to lose sleep? i guess we know where Hollywood puts their priorities.

That's what I was wondering. Even ignoring all the prior art at ever big hardware store, what damages are being alleged exactly?

You noticed that... Like Tiger Woods and a few others that are high profile people. Banging away at those "but her face" women. Power tripping.
 
Huh, Arnold finally involved in a scandal they won't make a porn parody of.
