Dillon Danis\u2019 lawyer quits Nina Agdal defamation case after not getting paid Instagram: DillonDanis, ninaagdalDillon Danis\u2019 lawyer has withdrawn from the defamation case filed by Logan Paul\u2019s fiance Nina Agdal, claiming he wasn\u2019t paid properly by the MMA fighter. In the months leading up to his fight against Logan Paul in October 2023, MMA star Dillon Danis took to social media to \u201ctroll\u201d the YouTuber-turned-boxer. Quick jabs against Logan quickly turned into sharing photos of his fiancee Nina Agdal \u2013 some real and some not \u2013 appearing beside various male celebrities with the intention to reveal possible former relationships and supposed physical moments. Agdal filed a defamation lawsuit against Danis just weeks later, which has been tied up in the legal system for a year due to various issues like him failing to appear in court, further delaying the proceedings. On September 12, 2024, Danis\u2019 lawyer filed a motion to withdraw as his attorney, citing \u201cfailure to comply with the terms of the Firm\u2019s retainer agreement.\u201d \u201cThe retainer agreement, among other things, required Defendant to pay a retainer and to pay the firm\u2019s monthly invoices within twenty (20) days to ensure that the retainer remained \u2018evergreen,’\u201d the filing reads. \u201cDefendant has failed to pay the firm\u2019s monthly invoices in a timely fashion and has failed to maintain the required retainer agreement at the agreed-upon level. This has been a recurring problem. In addition, Defendant has become non-responsive to counsel\u2019s communications, including communications regarding Orders entered by the Court. \u201cDefendant only responded to communications regarding the issues referenced above when I communicated that I would be withdrawing as counsel.\u201d His lawyer did make it clear, however, that he would \u201cprefer\u201d to continue representing him as he \u201cpersonally likes Mr. Danis\u201d and \u201cfinds this case to be an interesting one,\u201d but says the firm won\u2019t allow him to stay due to the MMA star\u2019s failure to pay his retainer. This comes after the court ordered Danis to provide the phone used to make the social media posts, but he has failed to do so, stating he couldn\u2019t find the device. Danis hasn\u2019t shared many updates regarding his MMA career over the months since Nina Agdal filed the lawsuit against him, but hinted that he is preparing for his next opponent back in April 2024. He didn\u2019t share who that opponent was at the time, but Mams Taylor tweeted on September 16 that he was supposed to go against Mike Perry in the first-ever Misfits MMA event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
