Kendall Jenner, Emily Ratajkowski, And Many More Are Being Sued Over Fyre Festival Payments

Despite the ‘festival’ occurring two years ago, the fallout from the controversial Fyre Festival promoted by Billy McFarland and Ja Rule continues. According to documents acquired by E! News, Kendall Jenner, Emily Ratajkowski and more models and celebrities are officially being sued for their role in promoting the infamous event.

Artists that were set to perform like Migos, Blink-182, Lil Yachty and Pusha T have also had complaints filed against them. The complaints were filed in New York’s Bankruptcy Court by event trustee, Gregory Messer. The trustee aims to recover money from ‘talent agencies, performers, vendors and other entities involved in marketing and failed execution of Fyre Festival.”

Reports claim that Jenner was paid $275,000 UDS for one Instagram post where Messer points out it wasn’t clear that she was being paid to promote the festival. Jenner’s post which referenced her “G.O.O.D. Music Family,” Messer believes that it “intentionally led certain members of the public and ticket purchases to believe” that Kanye West, founder of G.O.O.D. music label, would perform at a Fyre Festival.

A separate lawsuit also states that DNA Model Management, which represents Ratajkowski, was paid $299,000 USD. Messer states that the model “made at least one” Instagram post to promote the festival, but didn’t reveal if she was paid to post the image or not.

The lawsuit allegedly claims that other celebrities like Migos, Lil Yachty and Rae Sremmurd, represented by International Creative Management, were paid $350,000 USD. Blink-182, represented by Creative Artist Agency, was paid $500,000 USD, while Pusha T, Desiigner and Tyga, represented by Nue Agency were paid $730,000 USD.

The defendant’s attorneys for this case have not yet released an official statement to the public.
