Danny Elfman has been sued for failing to pay a portion of an $830,000 settlement of a lawsuit reportedly filed over alleged sexual misconduct.
A 2018 lawsuit against Danny Elfman reportedly over sexual misconduct allegations has surfaced after the Grammy-winning television and film composer allegedly missed two payments in a settlement agreement.
Nomi Abadi, a 35-year-old musician and composer, is suing Elfman for failure to pay $85,000 of the $830,000 agreed upon in the quietly settled suit, according to court documents obtained by The Times. The suit claims that Elfman “agreed to resolve an underlying dispute which included terms that [Elfman] would make payments in four different categories in various installments over the course of 5 years totaling $830,000.00.”
According to the court documents, Elfman missed two $42,500 payments, in July 2019 and 2021, which puts him in breach of contract.
A Rolling Stone exposé published Wednesday said the 2018 lawsuit alleged that Elfman exposed himself to Abadi and masturbated in front of her without her consent on several occasions.
The outlet dug up a 2017 police report in which Elfman was accused of “indecent exposure.” In July 2018, the “Edward Scissorhands” composer entered into a settlement and nondisclosure agreement with Abadi.
