The group of workers who helped with his live musical production at the Hollywood Bowl filed the class-action lawsuit against Ye and Live Nation.
In legal docs obtained by the news site, a hair assistant who worked on the production claims she is owed “unpaid wages, continuing wages, damages, civil penalties, statutory penalties and attorney’s fees and costs,” after her day rate along with other fees were paid late and they were charged for getting their checks. She claims Ye and Live Nation “failed to properly compensate the hair assistant and many dozens of other persons who performed services on the production, including the background actors, performing as audience members.”
On top of that, Ye has also been accused along with other defendants of “failing to provide pay stubs, failing to pay minimum wage and overtime,” for the event, the news site notes.
The group is seeking up to $1 million for how they believe they were poorly treated, and because the “defendants oversaw, controlled and ran the production, and the aggrieved employees worked many hours on the production and were no timely paid for their work, or paid at all,” The Blast reports.
