Celine Dion seems motivated to succeed. On November 13, 2020, the star lost his case against Rob Prinz, his former agent, previously a member of the agency IMC Management. The reason ? A financial breach, according to his opponents. Indeed, the interpreter of If it were enough to love was accused of not having paid the commissions of a contract dating from 2017 and of which the amount comes to almost $ 500 million. "Madame Dion refuses to pay the rest of the commissions she owes to the agency in connection with this historic contract ", then declared the agency in a document reported by Billboard. "Please note that we have made everything in our power to resolve this matter in the friendliest way possible. If we continue to admire and respect his extraordinary talent as an artist, we have no other choice than to initiate legal proceedings to obtain compensation which is due to us and not to represent it anymore ". The diva was therefore ordered to pay the sum requested by her former agency. Nevertheless, Celine Dion, unhappy with the verdict rendered by the courts, decided to appeal.
Celine Dion strikes back
Celine Dion had warned her former partners. "We will appeal this decision and ask a jury to decide what is right", she had declared through her lawyer. It is now done. On December 15, 2020, the site Mynews revealed that the artist had seized the Superior Court of Los Angeles a few days before. And it is clear that René Angélil's wife is determined to convince justice of its good faith. Indeed, according to the mother of the family, this whole story is just a tissue of lies. "I am sad and disappointed by these false accusations that I would refuse to pay IMC, she wrote on Facebook in the course of 2019, "I know my team has made several very honest and generous offers to them and we've really put a lot of effort into trying to sort this out.
