Austin & Catherine McBroom are allegedly being sued for $30 million Instagram: catherinemcbroom\/1212gatewayYouTube matriarch Catherine McBroom is allegedly being sued for $30,000,000 by former business partner TBL Cosmetics. This comes after her collaboration with the brand on \u201cdefective\u201d skincare company 1212 Gateway. The apparent legal documents state that Catherine and the ACE Family are \u201cin pari delicto,\u201d meaning they share equal responsibility. Catherine\u2019s skincare line hit the headlines back in May 2021. Customers complained that the brand was a \u201cscam,\u201d speaking openly about lost products and unsatisfactory compensation. It was reported the family \u2013 who have a net worth of \u201capproximately $22 million\u201d \u2013 faced further money woes on July 5. Rumors circulated that the bank was about to foreclose on their $7.5 million home after it was listed on Zillow. Catherine later denied these reports, calling them \u201cfalse narratives and untrue rumors.\u201d Documents detailing an alleged lawsuit against the YouTube stars were released on July 22. While the reason for legal proceedings is unclear, it states that TBL is seeking compensation for \u201cpunitive damages.\u201d This means the company is unhappy with Catherine\u2019s professional conduct. As well as this, the papers state that the ACE Family attempted to appeal a \u201cmechanic\u2019s lien\u201d on their property. The lien ensures any contractor who works on their house gets paid for it. The request to release the property has subsequently been denied. The complaint was allegedly filed on April 12, though it appears a trial date hasn\u2019t yet been set.

One Instagram user commented, \u201clooks like they\u2019ll be moving back into that small apartment soon.\u201d With a court date unannounced and no word on whether the rumors are true, fans will have to wait and see what\u2019s next for the ACE Family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
