\u201c[Evans] siphoned so much money from Day \u2014 a quadruple-platinum hitmaker and Golden Globe Best Actress winner \u2014 that he left her facing eviction, unable to pay the monthly minimum on her [$300,000-plus] credit card debt and without sufficient funds to tour,\u201d read the complaint, per Page Six.<\/p>\n

Evans has denied the allegations.<\/p>\n

The alleged legal dispute traces back to the mid-2010s when the \u201cCheers to Fall\u201d artist\u2019s career was first taking off and stretches through the success of her 2015 hit power ballad \u201cRise Up\u201d to the wave of acclaim that followed her Golden Globe-winning performance as Billie Holiday in 2021. Which makes this all feel like a mild reset is taking hold for the star.<\/p>\n

Just days earlier, during an appearance on the \u201cDaily Variety\u201d podcast, Day teased new music and announced she will be performing on Saturday, April 11, at the No Kid Hungry Dinner in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Her last full-length project, \u201cCassandra,\u201d arrived in 2024. Since then, she has appeared in various features, but not necessarily in a way that suggested a full new era of music was underway. That appears to be changing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t decided whether it\u2019s going to be a series of EPs or a full album yet,\u201d the songstress said of the new music.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, Day\u2019s case will move into the discovery phase, where both sides are required to turn over financial records, contracts, and communications connected to the disputed $1.6 million. If the case is not resolved during that process, it could be headed to trial, where a jury will determine whether Evans is liable and whether Day is entitled to damages, including the possibility of tripling that amount.<\/p>\n
