Her suit filed July 29 in U.S. District Court in Atlanta, seeks more than $1.5 million in profits, along with interest, attorney fees and a formal accounting of all partnership affairs and businesses from the band's current members Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush.

News of the suit comes as a shock to fans at a time when the group's latest release, Love on the Inside (Mercury Nashville) holds the position as the nation's No. 1 selling album on Billboard Music Charts.
