Former Friends actress Lisa Kudrow has been testifying against her former manager Scott Howard, who claims that the star owes him a cut of her earnings from re-runs of the popular sitcom.

The Hollywood Reporter writes that Kudrow began on Friends at $13,500 an episode with it increasing over five contract negotiations.
It’s reported that her pay increased to a whopping $1,040,000 with $5 million in back-end compensation.
