Carnie Wilson says she has filed a lawsuit against the Game Show Network and is seeking $277,500 she says the channel owes her for filming the reality series Unstapled, which chronicles her life as a wife, mother and game show host as well as her diet efforts following gastric bypass surgery.

GSN has said the company was not aware of any lawsuit by Wilson.

The 42-year-old Wilson Phillips pop singer and and daughter of Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys says she was supposed to receive $120,000 for six weeks of episodes that would be filmed over the course of 24 days at the rate of $5,000 per day, The Hollywood Reporter said, adding that the show ended up having to shoot for 53 days and required longer hours than planned.

Unstapled premiered on January 14. Wilson hosted a reboot of the hit 1960s game show The Newlywed Game but announced earlier this month she was leaving before its fourth season.

Wilson, whose 1999 gastric bypass surgery was broadcast online, is married to musician Rob Bonfiglio and they have two daughters - Lola, 5 and Luciana, 1.
