Wayne Gretzky sued for chewing gum!

Wayne Gretzky is said to have told a lie about his weight loss, stating that he achieved this feat by chewing gum, having lost 35 pounds in two months thanks to a chewing product.

Steven Sparks, the creator of this gum, named OMG gum, claims that he did not know that Gretzky was lying, and therefore reinvested money and services in the company, reports TMZ.

The former No. 99 finally admitted that his talk about his weight loss was misleading, which significantly affected Sparks’ finances, he alleges.

Sparks is suing Gretzky for $10 million.

Wayne’s wife, Janet, was originally hired as a spokesperson for the gum.

Sparks also alleges that Gretzky lied to boost the company’s stock, and quietly bought it in his family’s name before selling it, a much more serious allegation.
