Damon Dash Faces $4 Million Lawsuit Over Podcast Comments

Renowned music mogul Damon Dash is in hot water once again as his recent podcast remarks allegedly led to filmmaker Josh Webber losing a lucrative $4 million directing opportunity alongside Hollywood star Billy Bob Thornton.

While Dash is no stranger to legal troubles, fresh accusations from Webber claim that Dash's appearance on the popular "Earn Your Leisure" podcast triggered the collapse of his directing contract for the upcoming thriller "Fast Life," which also features Scott Eastwood.

Webber alleges that Dash's comments reignited past claims that he and his associates had wrongfully taken the film "Dear Frank" from Dash, leading to a legal battle where Dash was ordered to pay damages. Despite this, Dash continued to publicly attack Webber and his lawyer during the podcast, resulting in immediate consequences for Webber's new project with Rebel Entertainment.

Following Dash's remarks, the production company swiftly terminated its agreement with Webber due to concerns raised by an investor who did not wish to associate with controversial matters. This move highlights the financial repercussions of Dash's actions, with Webber seeking damages for the lost $4 million deal as a direct result of Dash's defamation.

Dash, known for his unapologetic nature, has yet to publicly address these latest allegations. As the court prepares to hear Webber's motion for default judgment on April 7, 2025, Dash potentially faces another multimillion-dollar judgment, underscoring the consequences of words spoken without restraint.
