Sugarland’s Attorney Says Lawsuit Is “Totally Baseless”
An attorney for Sugarland has released a statement that
a lawsuit by Kristen Hall, one of the band’s founders
who left in 2005, is “totally baseless and without
merit.” Hall filed a lawsuit on July 29 claiming she is
owed $1.5 million, plus interest, from revenue stemming
from an unwritten agreement with the band at the time of
her departure. The statement from Gary Gilbert also says
that, “Among other factual inaccuracies suggested in the
complaint, it is indisputable that Ms. Hall left the
group voluntarily and on her own accord. We are absolute-
ly confident that this matter will be resolved in favor
of Jennifer and Kristian.”
