Dancing Into Disaster

The plaintiff says he was hired to choreograph a music video for the defendant in Miami, but she stiffed him. He’s suing for what he’s owed. The defendant says the plaintiff is suing the wrong people, and she says she’s only the middleman, not the artist.
Case: 31-216

I feel a little bad for the defendant… her boss is a piece of garbage and put her in front of the camera, Tried to manipulate and coach her and just get over on judge Milian. When the judge tried to get the boss to show up, he refused. She 100% should have read the information beforehand, she probably would never have done any of this if she had. She sincerely needs to quit this job because the person she is working for is so underhanded, deceitful and disloyal. I hope she understands that at some point and finds a different job.
