She claims that she signed a 'Pay or Play' contract with Blue Orbit Productions that assured her USD 1.8 million for the first season and USD 2 million for the second even if she didn't appear on the programme.

The legal documents, state, "Plaintiffs are informed and thereon allege that it was Blue Orbit's intention (and its practise as to other performers to whom Blue Orbit paid such allowances) to pay out these allowances as part of payroll along with other compensation.

"The Agreement also provides that Blue Orbit is to reimburse Cole for the cost of personal security and first class airfare between London and Los Angeles for Cole and coach round-trip airfare between London and LA for three individuals on Cole's staff."
