Roc Nation asks court to hold CEO's daughter in contempt over social media threats
The motion follows an explosive online interview that allegedly led to thousands of threats targeting Perez and her legal team.
Hadley filed a lawsuit in May 2025, accusing her mother and Roc Nation of orchestrating an involuntary psychiatric commitment under Florida's Baker and Marchman Acts. In response, Roc Nation obtained a court order restricting public comments from Hadley and her husband.
Despite the gag order, Hadley appeared in an interview with YouTuber Tasha K. The video, later posted to Instagram, reportedly violated the court's order. Hadley claimed the video was automatically posted when Tasha K added her as a collaborator, and that she removed it promptly. Roc Nation rejected the explanation, insisting the post was deliberate and meant to stir public opinion.
'The video created a firestorm,' Roc Nation stated in court filings, adding that Perez and her attorneys have received thousands of threatening messages since the interview's release. The company contends that the couple's social media activity has led to a hostile environment, making it unsafe for multiple defendants and their legal counsel.
Nicki Minaj has also entered the conversation, publicly supporting Hadley and accusing Roc Nation of employing similar tactics against her.
Roc Nation is now asking the court to hold Hadley in contempt, which could lead to legal sanctions. The court has yet to rule on the request.

Jennifer Love Hewitt clears the air on Sarah Michelle Gellar friendship
Jennifer Love Hewitt has shut down rumors of a feud with fellow I Know What You Did Last Summer star Sarah Michelle Gellar, as speculation swirled following the film's 2025 revival premiere. Speaking exclusively to The New York Post, Hewitt, 46, addressed the alleged tension, saying, 'I honestly remain still so confused by all of that stuff,' and emphasized that media often pits women against each other. She continued, 'Nobody asks how often Freddie [Prinze Jr.] and Ryan [Phillippe] have seen each other since the original movie.' Rumors began when Hewitt and Gellar didn't pose together on the red carpet at the July 14 premiere. However, Gellar later explained via Instagram that she didn't see Hewitt at the event due to timing and attending with her kids. 'I never got to see @jenniferlovehewitt, who is fantastic in the movie,' Gellar wrote. Hewitt insisted there's no bad blood, saying, 'I have absolutely zero beef with Sarah at all. I applaud her for being a long-standing badass career woman, a mom, wife — all the things that I am, that we have in common.' The 9-1-1 actress, who shares three kids with actor Brian Hallisay, expressed hope for more sequels, depending on story quality and fan interest. The original 1997 horror classic saw Hewitt, Gellar, Prinze Jr., and Phillippe play teens haunted by a past accident. Only Hewitt and Prinze Jr.'s characters survived the original. The new 2025 film teases future installments in its post-credit scene. Despite rumors, the cast appears supportive of each other, and fans may yet see them reunite on-screen again.
