Artits and Their Legal Issues

The Spanish Ballet and Flamenco dancer Joaquín Cortés is considering suing the production team in charge of his show planned to be held in the Mexican Blackberry Auditory. The performance was scheduled for this past Friday, October 19. The dancer claims that in his arrival to the arena, he noticed that it was completely empty and there were no production staff members around to explain what happened.

Among dislikes, in a press conference Cortés highlighted that in his 30 years of dancing trajectory he had never lived such experienced. Feeling embarrassed with the public he guaranteed that his lawyers were already working the situation and assured his fans that the next presentations will be done as planned.

Is really sad seeing how the entertainment industry is still affected by people who do not understand the power of the human word. About legal issues, breach of contract is basically the principal cause of legal problems between parties. This is why it is extremely recommended to build strong clauses in the contracts to resolve this issues as friendly as possible.

American rapper Chris Brown is in risk of facing another legal problem. After being sued for the brutal beating he executed against his girlfriend and pop artist Rihanna, he was sentenced to community service and to keep good behaviors. At this day, he has not accomplished with none of his obligations and even though they broke up when the lawsuit happened, rumor has it that they are getting back together.

I do not think Rihanna should get back together with Brown. His conduct demonstrated that he does not fully respect the female gender and less respects the law. He should be concerned about accomplishing his obligations and be a good example for his fans.

Another artist facing legal issues is American actress Lindsay Lohan. After several former problems with the law, now she has been accused and arrested of doing a “hit and run” in New York. Apparently she ran over a pedestrian and escaped. Accused for running away from the scene, paying a fine was the only thing necessary to free her. Still, the legal situation will not finish there because she is still in probation for a previously lawsuit for jewelry robbery.

These situations are example of how artists should protect their image in order to keep credibility. These actions only demonstrate that they do not care for the public safety, the law and the United States politics. Both Brown and Lohan should work with a PR that can provide them a crisis management plan and a lawyer to resolver their legal issues.
