JUST IN: “Schwarzenegger’s Netflix Hit ‘FUBAR’ Faces $1.5 Million Lawsuit Over Alleged Supermarket App Idea Theft”

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.
