UK pop singer Ellie Goulding has initiated legal action against her previous managers, Ben Mawson and Ed Millet of TaP Management. The dispute centers around their alleged failure to disclose that their management company was controlled by Live Nation, a major touring firm. Goulding's legal team asserts that the managers' ties to Live Nation hindered their ability to effectively represent her, pushing her into deals with the company whenever feasible.
The lawsuit alleges that Mawson and Millet had a conflict of interest, representing Goulding while working for Live Nation. Goulding herself was unaware that her managers were barred from engaging in any activities that could negatively impact Live Nation's business relationship with her. During her tenure under Mawson and Millet, Goulding signed agreements with Live Nation for touring, merchandise, and a documentary.
She is seeking unspecified equitable compensation or damages for the alleged breaches of fiduciary duty. Goulding recently returned to her former manager Sarah Stennett and WME for worldwide representation. She is set to release a new album, titled "I Know Too Much," next month.
