The group reached out to White last month, and according to the lawsuit, they had productive conversations about both continuing to use the name until White's new counsel allegedly"delivered a draft settlement agreement that included an exorbitant monetary demand." In a statement to ET, the group says White demanded $10 million. ET has reached out to White for comment.
In a statement to ET, the band says:"Today we are sad to share that our sincere hope to join together with Anita White in unity and common purpose has ended. She and her team have demanded a $10 million payment, so reluctantly we have come to the conclusion that we need to ask a court to affirm our right to continue to use the name Lady A, a trademark we have held for many years.
