Post Malone‘s court battle over a split with ex-girlfriend Ashlen Diaz that cost him $350,000 has gotten more murky, as he’s now being accused of refusing to sit for a deposition over it.
Both Posty and Diaz are being sued by law firm Martorell Law, who Diaz initially hired to help her get palimony (spousal support for non-married couples) from Post amid their 2018 split. Martorell is accusing the former couple of working out a private deal and cutting them out of their percentage of the settlement they were guaranteed from Diaz.
According to Radar Online in a report on Friday (March 3), Martorell has filed new documents asking for a default judgment against Post in the amount of $787,027.60 for not answering the deposition served to his Utah home.
The firm said Post’s lawyers “refused to accommodate the request and instead threatened to bring malicious prosecution charges … six times despite Martorell noting repeatedly that he heard the threat and respectfully requesting he not repeat it.”
Posty’s lawyers have responded to the filing, claiming that their client did not receive the notice when it was sent and only just recently learned of it.
“Because of the nature of my work as a touring musician, I spend most of my time on the road traveling for work or performing on tour,” Post said in their filing. “Indeed, in 2022, I only spent an estimated combined total of 2 months in the State of Utah.”
He added: “I had no idea I had been sued, and I had no idea I was a party to this action. I did not learn about the existence of this lawsuit until on or around December 19, 2022, upon which my attorneys were swiftly notified.”
Post asked for additional time to respond. The judge has yet to rule.
This isn’t the only suit Post Malone is involved in. The “I Like You” singer is also among several other celebrities who have been named as codefendants in a lawsuit involving Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT.
According to Complex, the class-action lawsuit was filed in a Los Angeles federal court against Yuga Labs Inc, the cryptocurrency company behind the popular NFTs.
The plaintiffs who initiated the suit, Adam Titcher and Adonis Real, allege that several celebrities, including actors, musicians, athletes and more, were paid off the books to “misleadingly promote” and boost the value of Yuga Financial Products.
The complaint reportedly claims that Yuga recruited entertainment manager Guy Oseary to come up with a pan to “leverage their vast network” to inflate the company’s value. Post, Snoop Dogg, The Weeknd, Kevin Hart, Justin Bieber and others are accused of promoting Bored Ape and other Yuga offerings through MoonPay, a financial tech company believed to be associated with Oseary’s Sound Ventures.
A representative of Yuga Labs issued a statement through Fox News in response to the lawsuit saying: “In our view, these claims are opportunistic and parasitic. We strongly believe that they are without merit, and look forward to proving as much.”
Paying up a girl you never been married to is some feminist ass shit. I thought women wanted equality ? Then get a fucking job like they tell men to do. They was never married.
Has nothing to do with feminism. Read a dictionary
FRRRRR like honestly, 2018?? AND SHE WANTS HIM TO PAY UP NOW? BRO DIDNT KNOW ANYTHING UNTIL LITERALLY THE END OF 2022!! I mean the girl must not have anything better to do. Leave Austin the fuck alone.
You clearly did not read the article. Post and his ex are being sued by the LAYWERS.
Lala shut up woman…
What is a Laywer?
“spousal support for non-married couples” I can’t believe they are even entertaining that idea. They better stop playing with dudes; At 350k it’d be much cheaper to have her clipped.
Huh so it is a business matter but Whys that is he a bad man a bad father to split up from his partner i guess we will never know
Yk, the way I see it, I really don’t think Austin’s a bad person. Sometimes people just suddenly “fall out of love”. I mean,I, by no means at all know anymore about him than other fans. He could very well be a pretty bad person, but I don’t think so. Its just a bunch of bullshit, honestly, 2018? And he didn’t know anything till almost 2023? Girl must not have much more to do with herself.
The one who sued him is his ex not the mother of his daughter
I’m the only one who should be sueing..and December 19th? 2022. Your killen me over here.
Ppl disgust me they see some1 successful n instantly try n find ways to get their money..he should ABSOLUTELY NOT have to pay his ex!!! If that were the case every female could sue an x it’s disgusting she broke his heart n now wants his money because he’s got a fiance n baby now. Heck no the x deserves NOTHING!!!
