Damon Dash Takes Legal Action Against Rachel Roy

Last year saw her name linked to the singer Solange‘s attack on her brother-in-law Jay-Z.

Now, friend to the stars Rachel Roy has found herself pulled into a fresh pot of trouble now that she is being sued by Jay’s former business partner, Damon Dash.

Bad news for Ms. Roy below…

Billboard reports:

Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder Damon Dash has filed a summons in New York Supreme Court against his ex-wife Rachel Roy for allegedly grossly mismanaging their fashion business, Royale Etenia.

The filing on Thursday (April 23) comes just days after Dash reportedly lost custody of two of his children to Roy and was subjected to a restraining order.

Dash has now fired back with claims that Roy has breached fiduciary duties, breached a contract and committed conversion arising from her handling of Royale Etenia, a fashion company the two started when they were married until 2009. Since then, Roy’s line of clothing has been in major retailers and reportedly been worn by celebrities including Michelle Obama, Kim Kardashian and Tyra Banks.

The summons by Dash is notice of a legal action with a more detailed complaint usually forthcoming. For now, the music mogul has broadly outlined allegations that Roy mismanaged the business, violated certain provisions of the company’s operating agreement and interfered with cash distributions to Dash. The claims add up to $2.5 million in asserted damage with an additional $2.5 million claim being made against another party, Topson Downs of California, accused of also grossly mismanaging the business affairs of an intellectual property company associated with Roy.
