Dame Dash Accused Of Multiple Court Violations Amid Latest Lawsuit Loss
Damon Dash's legal issues continue to mount, as the executive and entrepreneur has been accused of violating various court orders stemming from an ongoing lawsuit.
According to court documents filed on Tuesday (Feb. 18), Judge John F. Walter claims that Dash, who has been sued by filmmaker Josh Webber, was in violation of 'the courts orders' regarding the case.
Dash is cited as ignoring Judge Walter's aforementioned orders on numerous occasions, including failure to schedule mediation with the plaintiff, as well as not submitting pre-trial documents.
In response to Dash's incompliance, Judge Walters has now issued a default judgement in Webber's favor, who has to submit evidence of any and all damages that incurred as a result of Dash's statements and the lawsuit itself by March 3.
The lawsuit is one of multiple filings that Webber has made against Dash. The latest judgement against Dash stems from comments the former Roc-A-Fella Records CEO made after Webber was awarded a judgement in a copyright infringement and defamation lawsuit related to the 2019 film Dear Frank.
In 2022, during an appearance with Earn Your Leisure, Dash alleged that Webber 'stole' the film from him, even though the court already ruled in Webber's favor.
'I had a judgment. And I knew this dickhead Chris Brown (pause) and Josh Webber (pause) and Muddy Waters… Chris Brown the lawyer,' Dash specified.
'I went through four trials with the same lawyer… What I lost was defamation because these guys trigger me and steal my sh*t… you think there is freedom of speech, it's really not…' he said at the time.
According to Webber, Dash's comments led to him missing out on a $4 million gig to direct a film starring Billy Bob Thornton and Scott Eastwood, which mirrors the amount the Canadian is seeking in damages.
Josh Webber's quest to receive payment from Dash hasn't gone as smoothly as seemingly expected, causing Webber to request that Dash's company, Poppington, LLC, and/or copyrights to films he produced be handed over to United States Marshals on his behalf.
Earlier this year, the filmmaker also made a filing requesting Dash's engagement ring to be auctioned off to cover his remaining debts to him.

Sandra Oh says 'Grey's Anatomy' had 'dedicated Sandra whisperer' to deal with her script demands: 'I would fight'
Sandra Oh learned many lessons during her time playing Cristina Yang on Grey's Anatomy, and one of the most important was how to live with discomfort. While speaking to Dartmouth College's graduating class of 2025 on Sunday, the Canadian-born actress urged graduates to find inner strength and kindness while overcoming challenges in their lives. "Nothing has taught me more than being with discomfort," Oh said during her commencement speech, while receiving an honorary doctorate of the arts. "It can be our greatest learning opportunity, and it is also inevitable. So if you can train yourself not to turn away but to learn how to be with your discomfort and trust that it might be telling you something you don't yet know, it can help you develop an inner strength that will enable you to face the challenges life presents you without losing your values or your sense of self along the way." The Emmy-winning performer, who was recommended to give the speech by Darthmouth alum and Grey's mastermind Shonda Rhimes, said that while "the great privilege" of playing Cristina for 10 seasons on ABC's medical drama brought her "financial stability, fame, and privilege," it was also "one of the most challenging decades of my life." "I learned profound lessons during this time because so much of it was so uncomfortable," Oh continued. "When I started Grey's, I was in my early 30s, so I had an idea of who I was and what the work entailed, but I had no idea what was coming. I demanded a lot from myself and from the writers. If something bothered me in a script, I would fight for what I believed what was right for the character of Cristina because I felt responsible for her. And while this contributed to the creation of a memorable character, my desire to make the dialogue fit and my belief that I knew what was best for the character also caused grief for the writers and for me." Oh told graduates that the Shondaland production had a "dedicated Sandra whisperer on staff" who was tasked with coming to the Grey's set to "deal with me." "That doesn't happen anymore. I am my own whisperer," Oh declared. "One time… the writers and I were at an impasse about something in this script, and I had to have a call with the big boss. And Shonda, I'll never forget, she said to me, 'Sandra, we have been here before. You got to trust me. Something will come through if you just say the damn words.' … It has stayed with me. I heard her." Concluding her speech, Oh channeled her iconic character and proved she still knows the value of "dancing it out." "When the world gets hard, or when it's good — especially when it's good, like today — by yourself, with people you love, with strangers, always take the time to dance it out!" Oh proclaimed. The attendees then rose to their feet to dance in celebration as David Guetta's "Titanium" played. Oh's Cristina Yang rode into the Grey's Anatomy pilot on her motorcycle and stuck around for a decade before leaving Ellen Pompeo's Meredith (and the show) with a reminder that she was the sun in 2014. "I took it very, very seriously," Oh told Entertainment Weekly in March for our Shondaland anniversary celebration. "I knew in my gut that I had done as much as I could. I really, really felt I did my job. I also was very, very cognizant that not many actors get to do this: create a full character and really live through their life, and then actually make the choice to come to a close." Looking back at her final seasons on the show, Oh said she was grateful her early decision "creatively gave the writers a runway, so they could plan" Cristina's final act. "And I think that they planned it beautifully," she said. "It also gave me time to move the audience with me to say goodbye to this character and wish her well. And I think that — at least I hope — myself and the writers, we did that."Since the season 10 finale, the Grey's team has kept Cristina a part of the show's world — albeit only via text messages and other written correspondence. Since her final episode, Oh has been vehement in her stance of not playing Cristina again. But now… "For the longest time, it has always been a hard no. And it's just… I don't know. I just don't know," Oh told EW, searching for the right words. "When you finish something, it's a deep process… I just cannot tell you… I can't stress to you enough how consciously I tried to fully process leaving. I don't feel the need to revisit, but I also profoundly understand the audience's love for this character, because I've seen it for the past 10 years. That's the part that makes me just go, hmmm."

Kate misses Royal Ascot for second year as she aims for right balance
The Princess of Wales has pulled out of attending Royal Ascot as she continues to find the right balance following her treatment for cancer. Kate is said to be disappointed at not attending the famous social and sporting occasion in Berkshire with her husband and the King and Queen. She has been making a gradual return to public duties since it was announced in January she was in remission from cancer. Her public appearances have increased in recent weeks and she has attended three high profile events including Trooping the Colour, the annual Order of the Garter service and a visit to a V&A storage facility in London. But it is understood she is trying to find the right balance as she fully returns to public-facing engagements. Racegoers had been hoping to see Kate as William was named as one of the figures awarding race prizes during the second day of the meeting. She was named in the list of guests joining Charles and Camilla in the carriage procession. The list was quickly amended removing Kate's name after Kensington Palace confirmed she would not be attending.
