In the lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles superior court, Michael and Divona Lewis claim that they loaned Lewis more than $60,000 shortly before his death to cover various expenses, including Lewis’ court and legal costs, SAG dues, bail bonds and medical care. The actor’s company, Highbrow Punk, Inc., agreed to pay the couple back, according to the suit.

However, the suit claims, so far they have only received a little over $23,000 back. Now the actor’s parents are going after Highbrow Punk and Brendan P. Carmody, the administrator of the actor’s estate, for the remainder of the money.
