Page 2 Mr. T sued by brother Television actor Mr. T is being sued by his brother, a Chicago police officer who claims he was fired as a bodyguard for the star of “The A Team” series before his contract expired. Gustav J. Tero filed suit in Cook County Circuit Court, seeking $72,000 in back pay and damages, said attorney Lewis R. Shapiro. “Gus was allegedly employed by Mr. T’s company and another company to provide bodyguard service to Mr. T,” Shapiro said. “My client says he was never given an explanation as to why he was terminated and Mr. T. never discussed it with him. Gus attem pted to ask him but he couldn’t get a response.” Tero allegedly entered into an oral agreement last August with his brother whose former legal name was Lawrence Tero to act as a bodyguard for one year at a salary of $1,600 a week, the suit said. Tero took a one-year leave of absence from the Police Depar tment in October. Shapiro said Tero, who was fired as his brother’s bodyguard in April, went back to work as a police officer “a few days ago.” When asked why Mr. T who on ce worked as a bodyguard for heavyweight champion Muham mad Ali, would need a bodyguard of his own, Shapiro said: “You haven’t seen his brother.” Prince fan claim rip-off ROCHESTER, Minn. - The promise of SIOO and a chance to dance in a Prince video lured 20 fans of the “Purple Rain” star to a parking lot, but they left angry and disappointed without ever seeing a camera. ( Th6 20 were chosen when Blackout Productions’ Kevin Chapman held auditions for dan cers at Le Bistro bar and restaurant in Rochester earlier this summer. The 20 winners were sent letters telling them to be at the Ramada Inn parking lot at 9 a.m. Friday for the taping. But no one from the production company ever showed up. “We’re stumped,” said Peter Daniels, the bar manager. “I don’t know if it was a scam or not. I’ve talked to some of the people who were supposed to be in the video and no one contacted them” about a cancellation. Daniels said the manager of Le Bistro called Blackout, but no one everr returned his call. He said he is especially bitter because Prince’s representative “came down like they owned the place.” Dancer Sue Olson, who said she bought new clothes for the taping, will not let the matter drop. “We are going to take some action, either taking it to small claims court or getting the SIOO we were promised at Le Bistro,” he said. “Many Black Jesse Jackson convention delegates left San Francisco with the feeling that Mondale had not given Jackson’s Black agenda enough—to use Jackson’s own word—respect.
