Tommy Wiseau was initially involved with this documentary until he suddenly turned and fought to have the production and distribution halted. This development ended up being covered within the documentary itself. Wiseau and Greg Sestero have gone on the record to deny Wiseau's involvement at any time with the amateur project.
On 6 November 2017 a Toronto, Ontario judge lifted the injunction on the film clearing the way for future release. Though a civil suit between Wiseau and the documentary remains, the injunction's defeat means that the documentary makers are now more free to speak publicly about the matter.
The Guardian reported in September 2016 that Wiseau Films threatened the Sydney Underground film festival with legal action if they screened the film as was planned. As a result the Syndey Underground choose to comply and cancel the screening. Wiseau Films also placed copyright claims on most any attempt by the filmmakers to upload their trailers or footage to YouTube.
A video uploaded on Feb 12, 2016 to one of Wiseau Films YouTube channels was titled "Tommy Wiseau Presents Shame On You, Part 3: The Reckoning" which appears to make a statement on Wiseau's feeling with the documentary. It was the third in a series of videos on the channel featuring animated fonts and dramatic music aimed at Wiseau's critics and haters. This one, however, made specific reference to Rick Harper's film, including an altered and mirrored version of the documentary's poster being riddled with bullet holes. Conversely, both Greg Sestero and Wiseau deny that the video is specifically about Harper or his movie.
Shipments of the film's DVD, planned to be released on 1 June 2017, were not shipped to those who had pre-ordered. On 26 June 2017, the production company explained through social media that this was because of a new court order to hold on exhibiting the film.
