RBD has finally settled a lawsuit with their ex-manager Guillermo Rosas. On Friday, the Mexican pop group’s Maite Perroni , Christopher von Uckermann, and Christian Chávez issued a statement revealing the band has agreed to pay the former manager less than half of the amount Rosas claimed he was entitled to for their Soy Rebelde Tour . “Today being World RBD Day, there is no better way to celebrate it than by doing justice,” the group wrote.
“Finally, after a year, this matter has concluded. The truth is on our side.” According to the statement, Rosas claimed he was entitled to $10,072,811 of the group’s earnings from their massive reunion tour last fall.
Now, following the settlement, Rosas’ company will only receive $4.7 million of the amount he said he was entitled to. A post shared by Chris Cha (@christianchavezreal) The settlement update comes five months after the pop group announced that all projects with RBD were put “on hold” after the group’s lawyers sued Rosas following “significant irregularities” in the group’s finances, including $1 million that were unaccounted for.
“We felt a responsibility to address the challenges that can arise in the industry, with our priority being the protection of artists’ rights,” Perroni, von Uckermann, and Chávez wrote in their statement Friday. “This is a reminder for young artists to have the courage to stand up for themselves and demand respect. This is an industry where it is vital to fight .
