Bieber Fired Manager Amid Diddy Allegations
Insiders report the pop superstar dropped Taylor last month in response to bad press. And Bieber immediately hired Johnny Depp’s business manager, Edward White. The decision comes after Tri Star employee Robin Greenhill got named in a lawsuit.
The suit filed against Sean “Diddy” Combs came earlier this year. Greenhill allegedly served as Combs’ accountant. He is accused of overseeing payments to sex workers. This is according to producer Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones, who claims Combs sexually harassed, drugged, and threatened him.
“Justin’s split with Lou was not amicable,” a source said. “He fired her. People generally stay with their accountant for ages and Justin was only with Tri Star for two years.”
Lou Taylor Has Been In Hot Water Before
Lou Taylor is no stranger to being in hot water. Her name came up during the surge of the #FreeBrittney movement. A campaign to have popstar Brittney Spears released from her conservatorship. Taylor got caught up after three emails allegedly written by the pop star to her attorney in 2007 were published. In the emails, Spears calls out her management for their strange behavior.
“There is a crazy lady Lou Taylor that has been sending stuff to my house,” Spears allegedly wrote. “I don’t know her she is a stalker.”
Others have named Taylor in alleged conservatorship attempts. In 2010, Michael Lohan accused her and Dina Lohan of trying to put Lindsay Lohan into a conservatorship for her money. In 2019, Courtney Love stated that Taylor attempted to “take over [her] estate” in 2010.
She also claimed the manager “[tried] for a mutated strain of a conservatorship” over her to sell the publishing rights to Nirvana’s discography and control Kurt Cobain’s name and likeness.
