Getty Whatever fallout came as a result of the canceled Freedom 250 concerts on the National Mall in Washington this summer, we can add a lawsuit that otherwise might not have happened. One prominent figure in that D.C. controversy, Freedom Williams, who made newsmaking statements in his role as frontman for the touring edition of C+C Music Factory, has been sued by the act’s surviving co-founder, Robert Clivillés, in the wake of the political fracas.
The core issues of the lawsuit are unrelated to what happened with the Trump-related concert pullouts and cancellations. But Clivillés makes it clear in his lawsuit that a contentious, profanity-filled video Williams published on social media in the midst of the controversy was a last straw when it came to pushing him to file suit over rifts that go back three decades or more.
