Prince Has To Pay Up

Filed under: Legal Matters > Prince

wenn1524218__opt.jpg

Last year, video editor Ian C. Lewis sued Prince and his company, Paisley Park Enterprises.

The amount?

A total of $1,000,000 in exemplary damages.

Apparently, Lewis says Prince never paid him for editing work and never returned some of his equipment.

Just last month a trial was held that included testimony from Lewis saying he deserved to be paid.

But on Wednesday, a Los Angeles Superior Court Judge issued an order that said Prince would only have to pay about $58,000 to Lewis.

At least that's nowhere close to the original $1 million he was asking for.

Lewis had also claimed that Prince and his company broke at $25,000 computer, but the judge denied that claim since no receipts were provided.

And in a weird turn, Prince's attorneys withdrew from the case!

He wasn't represented during the trial!!!

Taking that craziness into account, Prince must be quite thankful for the outcome!

    Re: Spindoc – thank you! did I dazzle you with my brilliance, or was it more a baffle you with my bullshit? lol

    I would not blame the attorney for ditching him/her/it. There is not enough money in the world that would be worth putting up with the crap from this diva nutjob, formerly known as a human being.

    Hey brain dead ~ it wasn't spindoc that said that to you, it was me. And you are delusional if you think there is anything dazzling about you. You think it is okay to leave your underwear at home, and spread your legs on the street for any old hobo. That is not dazzling; but it is definitely baffling.

    Prince is a musical genius and far from a has been. he's a fucking music legend with the most covered songs,writes his own orig songs for other musicians he pretty much made the motherfuckin' time,carmen electra and many other successful groups AND influenced many artists of today including the foo fighters,sinead, etc. michael is a fucking has been and a little boy back door man..so i dont you think you can compare the two. plus they hate each other.



  12. 12

    His lawyers probably withdrew because he wouldn't pay them either…

    I guess you want everyone to have a fat, swollen, mis-shapen face like you do so you won't feel so alone. Arrest the Warden!!! He is guilty of stupidity and crimes against beauty.
