“<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/television" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shark Tank</a>” investor Daymond John has filed a temporary restraining order against former show contestants, claiming they’ve been trying to “undermine” the agreed upon <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/business" target="_blank" rel="noopener">business</a> partnership.
John is one of the longtime “sharks” on the hit reality <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">competition show</a> on ABC. On “Shark Tank,” small business owners compete to secure investments from entrepreneurs in an effort to take their companies to the next level. 
Al &#8220;Bubba&#8221; Baker, his wife Sabrina, and daughter Brittani allege that John cut them out of profits and tried to seize control of the business, Bubba Q&#8217;s Boneless Baby Back Ribs, after they brokered a deal with the investor following an appearance on the show in 2013.
John responded with legal action over their alleged efforts &#8220;to undermine a business partnership and the legal parameters they agreed to four years ago,&#8221; his spokesperson Zach Rosenfield told <a href="https://people.com/daymond-john-seeks-restraining-order-against-shark-tank-contestants-7507156" target="_blank" rel="noopener">People</a> in a statement.
“After repeated attempts to give the Baker’s the ability to correct their violations. It is unfortunate that it has come to this,&#8221; the statement explained. “Their belief that they can unwind poor business decisions through slanderous social media posts and articles will no longer be tolerated.”
The Bakers claimed that John&#8217;s $300,000 offer for 30 percent of the company was revised off air to $100,000 for 35 percent, per the outlet. 
The family later said they received around 4 percent of the stated $16 million in revenue from the business. They also alleged that  Al Baker, a former NFL defensive end, was left out of meetings and decision making. The family has been sharing their story via social media, and it was documented in an <a href="https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2023-05-18/shark-tank-al-baker-daymond-john-mark-burnett-mark-cuban-abc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">L.A. Times</a> article.
John responded to the piece, saying the article included a “flawed interview” and “false narrative.” His TikTok video message included the <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@thesharkdaymond/video/7235775702241479978" target="_blank" rel="noopener">caption</a>, “I have nothing at all to hide whatsoever because I know the truth is on my side.”

The millionaire entrepreneur also sent a cease-and-desist letter to the family which said they must stop “making publicly disparaging or defamatory remarks against Plaintiffs, and further, cease publicly revealing Confidential Information.”
The Bakers allegedly penned a letter to the judge in response to John&#8217;s petition, arguing, &#8220;Sharing our experience on social media is an honest and truthful account of our journey. We firmly believe that the truth is in the best interest of the public.&#8221;
