Oscar-nominated actress and singer Andra Day has filed a lawsuit that claims she can’t even pay her minimum credit card payment after music biz exec Jeff Evans was “caught red-handed” stealing from her.
Page Six reported that Evans sued the “United States vs. Billie Holiday” star earlier this week, claiming that she breached their contract and that she owes him nearly a million dollars.
But Day filed a countersuit, slamming Evans as “a faithless fiduciary” who scammed Day “with blindless greed.”
“He siphoned so much money from Day — a quadruple-platinum hitmaker and Golden Globe Best actress winner — that he left her facing eviction, unable to pay the monthly minimum on her credit card debt, and without sufficient funds to tour,” the lawsuit alleges, according to Page Six.
They have been embroiled in financial disputes for years, with Day ultimately terminating her relationship with BassLine in March, according to Evan’s lawsuit.
Evans’ suit also claims they’re “owed a minimum of $850,000” in back payments from “The Deliverance” and a percentage of her publishing advances.
Meanwhile, Day’s lawyers countered in her suit that “the Buskin Defendants have admitted to failing to pay Day [at least] $575,486.00” and that she “believes this amount is significantly more.”
