Lauryn Hill, sorry, Ms. Hill has unfortunately earned a reputation over the years as a difficult artist who displays erratic and bizarre behaviors with a sharp tongue. Within the last year the stories seem to simmer down, Ms. Hill arrived to shows on time and gave outstanding performances. The past was in the past, right?
Not according to Jay Gore, a professional guitar player who worked with Lauryn on her European tour in 2007. Gore has reportedly filed a lawsuit against Lauryn Hill for outstanding payments and mistreatment.
According to TMZ, the documents revealed that Lauryn “exhibited the type of behavior for which she had gained public notoriety which contributed to a hostile work environment.”
The suit further stated,
“After shows, Hill would demand that the musicians and road support personnel attend meetings where she would engage in a person-by-person critique and berating.”
“At one point, Hill made a statement in front of the tour personnel to the effect that ‘I can’t believe I am paying you fools, you should be paying me.'”
Gore is reportedly seeking more than $20k from Lauryn Hill. Are you surprised by these reports of Ms. Hill?
