by aspiring singer Emaza Gibson last year. At a court hearing in downtown Los Angeles, the judge ruled that Gibson signed contracts with Derulo and his label Atlantic Records in which she agreed to handle any disputes using New York state law and Manhattan-based courts. Gibson’s lawyer immediately vowed to refile her claims on the East Coast.
Before the judge’s ruling Tuesday, Zambrano argued that some of his client’s claims, including her claim of quid-pro-quo sexual harassment, made “no reference to a contract,” so they shouldn’t be subject to the terms of the signed agreements. In court filings, he stated the alleged harassment happened in California and should be governed by California state law.
Judge Bensinger ultimately sided with Derulo, ruling that Gibson’s artist and recording agreements signed in February 2022 included “forum selection” clauses stating the sole jurisdiction for any actions related to the recording relationship would be state or federal court located in New York County.In her lawsuit filed last October, Gibson alleged that Derulo lured her into what seemed like a dream recording deal and then pressured her to party as he allegedly made “explicit” demands for sex.
