Yonder Media Mobile Sues FuboTV, Seeking Tens of Millions in Damages
Lawsuit Accuses FuboTV of Using Disney Merger as 'Pretext' to Abandon Partnership NEW YORK, Aug. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Yonder Media Mobile Inc. ('YMM') announced today it has filed a lawsuit against FuboTV, Inc. ('FuboTV') (Case No.: 654014/2025 Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York). The lawsuit alleges that FuboTV's senior executives engaged in a pattern of false promises and misleading assurances for over six months, fraudulently inducing YMM into a strategic partnership and investment only to unilaterally and abruptly abandon the deal. The complaint asserts that FuboTV's abandonment of the deal came after FuboTV entered into a separate agreement with Disney, and that FuboTV cited the approvals required by that agreement as a pretext for its withdrawal from the YMM partnership. FuboTV's actions have caused YMM significant financial and reputational damage. In reliance on FuboTV's repeated representations that the strategic partnership and a substantial equity investment would be consummated, YMM dedicated millions of dollars in capital and resources to develop a FuboTV-branded mobile application and service and secured critical modifications to its pre-existing agreement with a major wireless carrier. The lawsuit asserts that FuboTV's actions, including its misrepresentation and the subsequent summary withdrawal of a compensation offer to YMM, were carried out with reckless disregard for the harm inflicted upon YMM. As a direct result of FuboTV's conduct, YMM is seeking damages exceeding tens of millions of dollars. 'We are, of course, deeply disappointed by FuboTV's misleading conduct, which caused substantial damage and a major setback for our company,' said Adam Kidron, CEO of YMM. 'This lawsuit is a necessary and resolute action to hold them accountable. Our focus remains squarely on our future, which shines brightly. We are more committed than ever to protecting our company and fulfilling our mission to provide people everywhere the next generation of mobile experiences, while delivering value to our stakeholders.' About Yonder Media Mobile Inc. YMM is a US-based mobile technology company founded in 2018.

Japanese star convicted of indecent assault in Hong Kong
HONG KONG: A Hong Kong court on Wednesday found J-pop artist Kenshin Kamimura guilty of indecent assault after he harassed a woman working as his interpreter at a restaurant earlier this year. Kamimura, 26, is a former member of the boy band ONE N'ONLY, which expelled him shortly after the allegation. Fans queued to get into court for hours before the hearing, and some broke down in tears upon learning Kamimura had been convicted. The court heard Kamimura touched the woman's thighs multiple times despite her objections, and invited her to go to the bathroom with him. Magistrate Peter Yu found he had assaulted her, adding his behaviour "clearly shows disrespect for women." The incident took place in March during a celebratory dinner, after a fan meet for which the woman had been working as an interpreter for Kamimura and others. The Japanese star was fined HK$15,000 (US$1,900). Kamimura, who is also known as an actor in the Japanese drama "Our Youth", hugged his court translator upon hearing he would be fined without facing jail time, media reports said. Kamimura got "what he deserved", Yu said, adding that "had the victim not refused to remain silent and courageously come forward, she would have suffered an unpleasant experience in silence." But ardent fans inside and outside the court were in tears. Chen, a 30-year-old screenwriter and fan who gave only her last name, said she had come from northern China to watch the court session. She told AFP before the verdict that the trial has had a negative impact on Kamimura's image, and had incited "public outbursts of vitriol against the artist."
