By Mike Johnson on 2017-04-10 11:21:00

Here is the latest on the ongoing lawsuit former TNA production company, Audience of One Productions, LLC filed against [Elite subscribers, click here] TNA parent company Impact Ventures LLC and TNA Chief Financial Officer Dean Broadhead in the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Virginia following the dismissal of former TNA minority owner Aroloxe and Ron Harris as defendants in February.  [Elite subscribers, click here.]

On 3/16, attorney Jonathan Martin Sumrell filed a motion to withdraw as the attorney representing Impact and Broadhead.  The court agreed to the withdrawal but would not let Sumrell pull out of his responsibilities to the case until after 4/5, when a settlement conference between the two sides was scheduled. 

That conference did take place but as of today, no settlement or resolution in the case has been filed with the court.

Audience of One's lawsuit alleges that TNA's Dean Broadhead and Impact Ventures worked to get them on board under the false pretense of using them full-time as TNA's production company, only to then fail to pay them in a timely fashion for work done, requiring the set up of an agreed upon payment plan. According to the lawsuit, TNA then allegedly stopped paying after the first initial payment installment was made.  

Audience of One is seeking $223,000 plus interest and post-judgment costs for breach of contract and for the defendants violating Virginia code.
