A former band member of Lauryn Hill’s band has filed suit against the singer for more than $20,000, claiming that he was stiffed out of thousands of dollars after going on tour.
According to TMZ, guitarist Jay Gore claims that Ms. Hill was verbally abusive to band members on her 2007 European tour. After each show, she “would demand that the musicians and road support personnel attend meetings where she would engage in a person-by-person critique and berating. […] At one point, Hill made a statement in front of the tour personnel to the effect that ‘I can’t believe I am paying you fools, you should be paying me.'”
He also claims that she “exhibited the type of behavior for which she had gained public notoriety which contributed to a hostile work environment.”
His lawyer, Nicholas Andrea, explains that other band members have been “reluctant to stand up for their rights” and that “this lawsuit gives them a voice as well.”

Cant ya’ll find a better picture then that one to use anytime her name is brought up??
I mean Lauren is a Legend and whenever her name is a news story you use that horrible Homie The Clown picture in the headline
Its Disrespectful
If your gonna clown on people then make it equal, why not every time Waynes name is brought up just post that Pic of him & Birdman kissing??
Dude, be real. How is that disrespectful when she took the picture? That’s how she looks, its not photo shopped.
I swear every time this girl is in the news for controversy, her fanatics come 2 her defense.
@rodrick: Who told you that Lauryn was a legend? More like a legendary nutcase!!!
@ 4real

Lauren Hill was the first rapper to win Album of the year at the grammies, that makes her a legend IMO
So a bunch of old white bureaucrats decided to give her a little statue that was probably made in china and shes a legend?
No album Lauryn Hill is associated with is anywhere near records I consider classics or legend or whathaveyou
If some of you want to consider Lauryn a legend so be it!! Just because she won a grammy doesn’t maker her a legend. Yall fucked up in the mind just like she is, no wonder some of you support her. Birds of a feather flock together!!!
She is horrible live,shows up anywhere from an hour to two hours late and demands the respect she tried to gain by marrying a Marley. She’s a waste of time and money.She is not a legend,her first hit song was a cover song?!!!
Quit acting like she’s some kind of songwriter/saint.
I totally agree. Saw her live and it was absolute trash…it’s a shame, cuz she is such a talented emcee and singer…but for some reason, when she gets on stage she thinks she’s Joan fucking Baez…get a grip lauryn…you’re not fooling anyone.
I agree with you bstyles, except I dare say the first hit song was “Mona Lisa”. Maybe her biggest success was off of “Killin ‘Em Softly”.
man fuck lauryn hill. I never liked her she always seemed like a bitch who thinks is better than everyone else.
so true
your words are so true
the last 5 posts are true,how is she a legend? 3 or 4 hits,horrible live performances and racism, yep some “legend” she is
omg not even all of them wanna sue her
she was probably right ..
a lawsuit thats a bitch move
you ppl dont know shit for real leave rap alone
Vote for my song to be featured on the next Coast 2 Coast Mixtape!!

I just paid $23,98 for an iPad2-64GB and my girlfriend loves her Panasonic Lumix GF 1 Camera that we got for $37,59 there arriving tomorrow by UPS. I will never pay such expensive retail prices in stores again. Especially when I also sold a 40 inch LED TV to my boss for $677 which only cost me $72,13 to buy. Here is the website we use to get it all from, CentStart . c0m
LOL at the first clown who said this bitch is a legend.
Nigga, Santa Claus is a bigger legend than this crazy, delusion, fraud ass bitch. I guess she thought marrying a Marley would make her certified.
LOL at all the people she had fooled as well back in her shine days.
Why won’t she just go away and who are the promoters that keep booking her as well as who are the idiots that keep going to her shows knowing that she’s a fraud and she absolutely stinks?
Common sense ain’t common.
she sounds like Solar with Guru. rip guru.
She is just plain crazy. That might help her.

Crazy as she is with that NASTEEE stretched out cunt…
She’s less crazy than Dre– at least she’s able to function, however, unethically, as a performer.
