Alfonso Ribeiro made waves in the news when it was reported that he would be suing both Epic Games and 2K Games for the “unfairly profited” use of his dance in their games.

Ribeiro’s suit came less than two weeks after 2 Milly’s and was filed by the same firm, Pierce Bainbridge. Ribeiro’s dance, the “Fresh” emote in Fortnite, was made popular by ’90s sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

Just a day later, TMZ reported that Ribiero confessed on video to stealing the dance from routines by both Courteney Cox and Eddie Murphy.

David Hecht, Ribiero’s attorney, denies this allegation, stating, “On numerous occasions, Mr. Ribeiro has commented on his inspiration for the dance. In the clip, Mr. Ribeiro used the word ‘stole’ in jest. He did not use the word ‘stole’ in the legal sense.”
