Rihanna started a suit a while back against her former accountant claiming that they owed her several million dollars for “mismanaging” her money. They then fired their own suit back at her saying her money loss was her own fault and also trying to get her to sit down for a deposition, which hasn’t happened. Now the accountancy firm – Berdon LLP – filed a junction saying that Rihanna isn’t cooperating and asking for her to be punished.
From TMZ:
Specifically, Berdon says RiRi has blown off a court-ordered deposition on a slew of occasions: November 2012 (extension), January 29, 2013 (avoided), May 8 and May 9, 2013 (said she had a concert, but knew the concert dates loooong before), and most recently June 19 (said she was sick).
Berdon is MOST pissed about June 19. They claim they accommodated RiRi’s schedule and set-up the deposition in London, costing them about $100k … only for Rihanna to cancel. Despite the fact, they claim, she performed shortly before and after the 19th and was tweeting the day before … with no signs of illness.
Berdon says it’s “been pushed beyond the breaking point” and “cannot excuse her behavior.”
The accountants are asking a judge to dismiss RiRi’s multi-million dollar suit outright and wants her fined at least $100,000 for their wasted time and resources.
