LOS ANGELES (CelebrityAccess) Macy Gray has reportedly sued ICM Partners and agent Scott Mantell, alleging she was promised a discount on commissions from a 2017 European tour that didn’t meet the $500,000 minimum guarantee and the agency failed to follow through.
Gray, suing under her legal name Natalie Hinds, claims that Martell convinced her to sign on to a summer tour with a guaranteed half-million-dollar gross and that he called her manager, Adam Arnkoff, and said he was only able to secure $420,000, according to Billboard.
Gray claims that the $80,000 shortfall would mean she would lose money on the tour. Gray said Mantell later said she would receive the money only if she signed a one-year exclusive deal with ICM and that she was “absolutely floored” and felt extorted.
