According to the Hollywood Reporter, former producer and friend, Donny Misraje, his wife Kathee and technology expert Sandy Ganz have taken Carolla to court for breaking the contract agreement over Carolla's podcast, "The Adam Carolla Show," alleging that Carolla shut them out of the profits.

From the complaint:

"Though Carolla has repeatedly acknowledged the partnership agreement between himself (60%), Mr. Misraje (30%) and Mr. Ganz (10%)...he has since wrongfully 'kicked' Plaintiffs out of the business and seeks to exclude them from their share of the Partnership profits, all while he continues to reap the benefits of the business that Plaintiffs conceived of and developed."

Misraje and Ganz left their jobs in 2009 to help the comedian establish the "vision to build a 'multi-media podcasting network" based on Carolla's eponymous radio show.
