Tyra Banks’ SHOCKING Ice Cream War: $50K Demand, $2.8M Lawsuit!
Is supermodel Tyra Banks really weaponizing her celebrity influence to dodge a massive $2.8 million debt? The fashion mogul is embroiled in an explosive court battle, fighting claims from a Washington D.C. landlord over her ice cream venture, Smize & Dream. This isn't just a simple business dispute; Tyra is demanding over $50,000 in sanctions, alleging the landlord’s lawsuit is nothing short of a "celebrity shakedown." Court documents reveal Christopher Powell, the landlord, claims Tyra and her boyfriend, Louis Bélanger-Martin, signed a 10-year lease for a flagship D.C. store, promising to help underserved youth. However, Powell alleges Tyra went behind his back, abandoning the D.C. location and opening a new shop in Sydney, Australia, after he’d spent thousands fixing up the space and turning down other tenants. He's demanding a staggering $2.8 million in damages, accusing Tyra of using her fame to deter legal action. Tyra, now living in Australia, denies all wrongdoing, stating she had valid reasons to terminate the lease and dubbing Powell's demands extortion. This high-stakes legal drama is far from over, leaving fans wondering whose side of this frosty feud will melt under pressure.
