Lauryn Hill may be in hot water with American Express but evidently she was victorious in at least one court case. According to Bossip, the former Fugee was awarded $65,000 in a case against her cousin Gerald Hill.
Court papers reportedly state the singer loaned her family member the money and he assured her he’d pay her back. As part of the original deal, Lauryn wrote up a contract for her cousin and gave him three months to pay her back without interest.
When an attempt to collect failed, Lauryn decided to sue him in June. Last week, a judge found Gerald guilty by default. In addition to the $65,000, he must also cough up interest and money damages for the losses she incurred.
Gerald never responded to the platinum-selling artist’s complaint.
Lauryn is currently on The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill 20th Anniversary Tour. She is expected to perform in St. Louis on Friday night (October 5).
This desperate skunk needs every buck she can get shes a fuck up
FOH you will never save $65K
Why are you so hateful.you don’t even know ms.hill who are,you to judge her.
What a desperate skunk
Crazy bitch
Is this worth posting?
She sued for money loaned to a family member anyone on here would do the same thing im amazed at the comments bashing her
She sued a family member whom she sued for not repaying her why bash her on here many on here would sue them to stop the hate
I’m totally here for the hill family in front of judge mathis
Once a contract was drawn, there’s an intention to create legal relations even if its a domestic relationship. She has the right to. She didn’t even ask for interest on the initial loan meaning she wanted to help but would need her money back. This is not 200 dollars. This is 65k. Stop bitching like you’d let it go.
All those posting negative comments are white. They are mental health .
Racist bitch.
All of u are groupies for a crackhead skunk
