Titus Day trial: New details on Guy Sebastian's meeting with former manager as bitter dispute unfolded

Guy Sebastian's former manager claimed the pop star went on a 'monologue' about the manager's failures as the pair's relationship deteriorated into a bitter dispute, a court was told. Titus Emanuel Day is standing trial for allegedly embezzling $640,000 of Sebastian's royalties and performance fees, including the alleged failure to remit performance fees for his work supporting Taylor Swift on her 2013 Red tour of Australia and other corporate gigs and performances. Mr Day has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of embezzlement as a clerk or servant and one count of attempting to dishonestly obtain financial advantage by deception. He has denied doing anything fraudulent or dishonest. Sebastian moved over to Mr Day's management company 6 Degrees three years after winning Australian Idol, having worked with him previously at Mr Day's former agency, 22 Management: no formal agreement was signed at 6 Degrees, but the court was told their agreement was based on Sebastian's former arrangement with 22 Management. The pair, once so close Sebastian considered them to be 'a family of sorts', experienced a 'really big shift' in their relationship by 2016, with Sebastian claiming documents, statements and invoices 'were not being sent anymore'. Having 'grievances' with his former manager, the court was told Sebastian met with Mr Day at a cafe towards the end of 2017. Mr Day's barrister, Thomas Woods, on Monday suggested Sebastian had spoken 'more or less continuously for half an hour' during the meeting, prompting Mr Day to say words to the effect of 'I'm willing to discuss the issues, but I'm not willing to sit here and listen to a monologue from you about all my failures'. 'I do not recall that, no,' Sebastian replied. The Battle Scars singer also denied suggestions he'd agreed to pay Mr Day commissions he was asking for if he could show they were payable as per his former agreement with 22 Management by way of a 'handshake agreement' at the 2017 meeting. 'Definitely not, no — you couldn't come up with a more completely opposite version of what happened in that meeting,' Sebastian said. 'The purpose of that meeting was I was actually trying to avoid being negative about it and trying to come to some kind of peaceful ending to everything where Titus would provide some accounting for what was missing.' The court was told Mr Day was pushing for commissions to be paid to him after the pair parted ways professionally, however Sebastian and his lawyer at the time maintained there were no post-term commission arrangements. Sebastian later told the court he was happy to pay commission for anything Mr Day had worked Woods earlier told the court that there would be 'no dispute' that on some occasions his client should have transferred money onto Sebastian 'but did not'. 'For many of the charges, the real question is not going to be whether my client failed to transfer the money to Sebastian but whether his failure to do that was criminal,' Mr Woods said. Sebastian told Mr Day he was leaving his management in 2017, the court was previously told. Sebastian launched Federal Court proceedings against Mr Day the following year. He in turn filed a counterclaim.

Matildas star Katrina Gorry in tears over teammates' act

Katrina Gorry broke down in tears as she recalled a touching gesture from her Matilda's teammates during the 2023 World Cup. The emotional moment came during a sit down interview with to discuss her recently released memoir, Katrina Gorry: A Matilda's hero's story of football, motherhood and breaking down barriers. In the book, Gorry, 32, writes about battling an eating disorder, having a child on her own through IVF, and of course her stunning Matilda's career which has seen her play more than 100 games for Australia. In one of the most moving parts of the book, Gorry shares a story about what happened in the changerooms before Australia's quarterfinal clash against France during the 2023 World Cup. Gorry was a bit distracted before the game due to an upsetting phone call she'd received from her partner, Clara (who was in Sweden), two days prior. 'She said, 'it's about my dad (Peter) … he's had a heart attack and died,'' Gorry told 'I just couldn't believe it,' the Matilda's star said as she started crying. Gorry hadn't shared the heartbreaking news with anyone, but decided to tell one of her teammates in the rooms before the quarterfinal. ' They obviously informed the staff what had happened and all the girls just rallied behind me,' Gorry said. Unbeknownst to her, the Matilda's players made a snap decision to honour Clara's dad, Peter. 'We were in the changerooms and everyone put black arm bands on for him and I just turned around and realised, this is a team. It was a really special moment,' Gorry said. That wasn't the only special moment of the night. The quarterfinal against France ended up going to penalties after each team failed to score during the match. It was 4-3 France's way when Gorry was called up to take a penalty. If she missed, Australia would have been out of the World Cup. 'I had him (Peter) watching over me in that moment,' Gorry told about the penalty kick. 'It was dead silent in the crowd, I can still feel it right now, I can see the grass moving,' she said. Gorry ran in, kicked the ball, and smacked it into the back of the net. As the Brisbane crowd erupted, Gorry ran back to her teammates and kissed a piece of tape that was strapped around her left wrist. asked Gorry what the significance of the tape was, to which she replied, 'I had his (Peter) name on my wrists'. The Matilda's went on to win the match against France but lost to England in the semi-final, finishing fourth in the World Cup. In Gorry's interview with the star footballer also spoke about how her parents reacted when she told them she was gay, what is was like to miss a crucial penalty during the 2016 Rio Olympics, and how she overcame her eating disorder.
