Sugarland files $1.5M lawsuit against band
ATLANTA (AP) -August 8, 2008 According to a lawsuit filed late last month in U.S. District
Court in Atlanta, Kristen Hall was to get a cut of the group's
profits even after she left in 2005 for a solo career. The lawsuit
says Hall, who founded the band in 2002, has an agreement with
Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush to equally share profits and
losses.
Hall says in the lawsuit that she has been excluded from the
group's profits since she left.
