DJ Dipped On Some Kids

It's to bad stuff like this happens. Deonte doesn't have an excuse other than "he didn't want to wait",......... what the hell.! He signed a contract which means he gave proof of his word that he would be there. I'm sure the company putting on the event isn't going to profit much off the event as it was probably a group of parents who decided to put this on for the kids involved.

I hope he just makes things right financially and gives a speaking engagement inviting all ticket holder a free BBQ supper. It was located in PITTSBURGH so I could see an evening / afternoon event because he is here any way. I'm sure his handlers could make his schedule available and put it on.

DO THE RIGHT THING instead of court and ugly mandated.

You'd be surprised how much money you can make off of these events. The non-profit I started hired an olympic/world medalist and it cost us 20K up front plus flight, hotel, meals for a one day camp. We raised almost 30K after expenses. It says in the article that they're out almost 35K but I'd assume more in the cancelled flight and such.
 
He'd better make that right pretty quick. It makes you look really, really bad. It's a total **** thing to do. I bet he didn't skip out on signing his new contract.

Don't even sign up for stuff like this if you're going to half *** it and not bother to show.
 
Something is fishy with this lawsuit. The article says the company had 230 campers show up. Each paid $125. That's a total of $28,750. Yet the company is claiming $36,000 in refunds alone.
Also, it says that Johnson was rebooked on another flight shortly thereafter. It does not say that said flight was leaving shortly thereafter or that said flight would arrive in Pittsburgh in time for Johnson to attend the camp.
Maybe the article is at fault for the confusion and the actual complaint is clearer. But, claiming $36K in refunds when you only had $28,750 in actual refund expenses? Fishy. Not being clear about the timing of the second flight's departure and arrival? Fishy.
That said, DJ should just ante up to get rid of this nuisance claim.

Attorney fees.
Also the camp was probably funded by other means. Especially if it's $125

Attorney fees would be separate from the claim for "refunds". Their claim is for $36K in expenses due to refunded payments. There's a little padding going on there.
Still, it's a nuisance claim that he should pay.
 
As long as it is not followed by throwing furniture out of balconies and walking out with a wash cloth over his dick to greet a female artist there to paint his portrait.
 
Young money.....uggghhhh

I'm not disputing those things. The article says that the company is seeking $36K in REFUNDS alone. Not REFUNDS and EXPENSES. There's a difference. And the math doesn't add up between the number of tickets sold and the amount they are seeking in refunds alone.
The items you bring up are expenses. The money they had to give back to the parents of the kids for the tickets they bought are refunds. Trust and believe that DJ's attorneys will/have noted that little disrepancy.

Botto line is he didn't show dispite his contract. The attorney's will sort out the legitimate costs associated including refunds.

Deonte needs to make it right with the kids (the attorneys for the adults).

I think a free BBQ for the ticket holders and their families would go a long ways for his PR view plus the big contract generosity would go towards a great move fro negative to positive.

I can't believe no one has, to this point, said "Looks like Diontae ... dropped the ball again."
