The ex-CEO of Parlux claimed his health was too fragile to testify in person as the company’s lawsuit against the rapper goes to trial in New York. Jay’s P.I. discovered otherwise
Fragrance brand Parlux sued Jay-Z for breach of contract in 2016. The company claims the music mogul reneged on a deal to promote his signature cologne, Gold Jay Z, even though he was paid nearly $2 million in royalties under a 2012 deal.
Jay-Z countersued, saying Parlux breached its own obligations under the deal by failing to provide accounting reports, business plans, adequate promotional resources, and royalty payments. Jay-Z is expected to be called as a witness in the long-awaited trial. But Loftus, who is no longer with Parlux, is asking to testify remotely. To that end, he submitted two doctor’s letters, at least one from a gastroenterologist, asking the court to exercise its discretion and allow him to answer questions over a live video link, according to a filing from Jay-Z’s lawyer.
Jay-Z’s lead lawyer Alex Spiro didn’t buy the excuse, and argued in his Friday filing that the evidence collected by his private investigator proves Loftus wasn’t being forthright.Supreme Court of the State of New York “Despite Mr. Loftus and plaintiffs’ counsel’s misrepresentations otherwise, the pandemic has not proven exceptional for Mr. Loftus, who is living his life as if it is 2019,” Spiro wrote in the filing obtained by. “Covid-19 has not stopped Mr. Loftus from participating in any activities similar to, or more risky than, attending an in-person trial around other socially-distanced, masked individuals.”seeking comment Monday. Attempts to reach lawyers for Parlux were not immediately successful.
