"Today's mixed verdict is a vindication for our client, Tony Saxon. Ye's lawyers called him a liar, a fraud, and a malingerer in court. His medical records, bank records, and personal family history were dissected, mocked, and vilified. Yeezy representative Milo Yiannopoulos maligned him and our firm in the press. Ye's team demanded that Tony pay them to resolve the case and issue a public apology."
"If you don't do what I say, you're not going to work for me, I'm not gonna be your friend anymore and you'll just see me on TV. I don't watch TV. Leave."
Kanye West has been ordered to pay contractor Tony Saxon $140,000 in damages plus over $1 million in attorney's fees following a legal dispute over a Malibu Beach mansion renovation. Saxon was hired to oversee the renovation of the Tadao Ando-designed property, originally valued at $57 million. West allegedly wanted to transform the mansion into an off-the-grid shelter without electricity, toilets, or windows. Saxon claimed he was terminated after opposing what he considered dangerous renovation requests. The verdict was characterized as mixed since it fell short of Saxon's $1.7 million claim. West's legal team had allegedly demanded Saxon pay them and issue a public apology to resolve the case.
