'Fresh Prince' Star Sues over Her Banks Account

The girl who played Ashley Banks on the "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" could really use Phil's bottomless wallet to bail her out again -- because she claims she just got screwed out of over $45,000.

Tatyana Ali and her sister Anastasia claim they invested the $45k in a web series called "Buppies" -- which starred Tatyana -- and even filmed a pilot for the show.

In the suit, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, the sisters claim the company in charge of producing the show lost the $45k and then bailed on the show.

The Ali's claim they were promised partial rights to the pilot and screenplay but were left completely empty handed.
