Guy Sebastian rejects allegations that he lied in court on Tito Day

Australian music star Guy Sebastian has responded to allegations that he lied in court over alleged “hostility” to his former manager Tito Day.

Mr Day is before the New South Wales District Court on charges of fraudulently misappropriating about $ 900,000 in royalties, wages and payments to ambassadors, which Mr Sebastian claims he should have received.

After the couple had a serious quarrel in 2017, Mr Sebastian claimed the money he owed was missing when Mr Day stopped managing his income.

The dispute prompted Sebastian to start a case in federal court in which Mr. Day filed a counterclaim.

Police got involved in 2020 after Mr Sebastian reported Mr Dee to a detective who was playing cricket with his best friend Tim Freeburn.

Fifty charges of embezzlement were filed following a report by Mr Sebastian, which came days after Mr Day said he wanted to obtain a detention order against the singer.

When Mr Sebastian returned to testify in Mr Day’s trial on Monday, he was confronted by a lawyer honoring Dominic Tumi SC.

“You have a great hostility to Mr. Day … you have such an evil will towards Mr. Day that I suggest to you that every time you come across a document or proposal that you think might be in his favor , you reject them, whether you deny it or not, ”Mr Tumi said.

Mr Sebastian replied and said “it is not so”.

“I’m very disappointed … I have a lot of confusion about how it all came to this point.”

The exchange took place after Mr Tumi presented numerous documents showing the transfer of money to Mr Deya’s 6 Degrees company bank account, which was later paid to Mr Sebastian.

Asked about the $ 140,000 in-kind deal he had made with Toyota, Mr Sebastian rejected a proposal that Mr Day had allowed a 20 per cent cut or that the couple had discussed such an arrangement.

“It’s a lie,” Mr. Sebastian told Mr. Tumi.

“I reject this offer.”

When a tax invoice from 6 Degrees was shown, indicating the commission payable on the value of the Toyota agreement, Mr Sebastian said no manager had ever charged him a commission for transactions in kind known as agreements against which he won.

“I reject the authenticity of this … these invoices are just invoices that are printed,” said Mr. Sebastian.

The court considered a mixed deal in cash and in kind with Bose audio company worth $ 200,000.

Mr Sebastian said he had rejected an offer he was told Mr Day was proposing to charge a 20 per cent commission on the entire cost of the Boz deal.

“I’ve learned to be very skeptical of what you’re putting in front of me, Mr. Toomey,” Mr. Sebastian said.

Another offer that Mr. Day received a commission on the in-kind transaction worth up to $ 150,000, as a result of which Mr. Sebastian received the Bluefin boat instead of cash for the function, was also rejected.

The trial continues.
