Tfue\u2019s lawyer reveals shocking new details about FaZe Clan lawsuit New information has been revealed by the lawyer representing Turner \u2018Tfue\u2019 Tenney in the ongoing legal battle with FaZe Clan, suggesting the organization offered his client illegal contracts. On May 20, Tfue officially filed a lawsuit against the team he represented over a contract which he believed to be \u201coppressive\u201d, with the organization allegedly taking an 80% cut from his revenue on brand deals. The three year deal was branded as \u201chorrible\u201d by FaZe co-owner Ricky \u2018Banks\u2019 Banks, who was left hurt by the allegations as he considered Tfue to be one of his closest friends, but was adamant that plenty of new lucrative deals were offered in order to keep the 21-year-old on FaZe. However, in an interview with theScore Esports, Tfue\u2019s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, revealed that while his client did receive better contract offers, they were illegal. \u201cThose contracts provide for illegal procurement without a talent agency license,\u201d he said. \u201cEven worse, those contracts attempted to get Turner to waive the California Talent Agency act. No one could possibly sign something like that because it would be so illegal.\u201d According to Freedman, FaZe Clan are acting as a talent agency without the required license to do so. Tfue\u2019s legal team has already filed a petition with the California Labor Commission, alleging that FaZe being unlicensed is in violation of the state\u2019s labor laws. Given his enormous popularity on both YouTube and Twitch, it was suggested that the lawsuit was simply a way of Tfue terminating his contract with FaZe, potentially allowing him to earn more money by working with other brands. However, Tfue\u2019s lawyer disclosed that the streamer had actually counter-offered FaZe with a contract that he would sign, but it was rejected \u2013 contradicting the claims from Banks that the organization would do anything to retain him. Freedman added: \u201cFaZe Clan was presented with a contract that Turner would accept. It was as close to a legal contract as you could get. But that wasn\u2019t good enough for them, they got rid of half of it and made it illegal once again.\u201d Finally, Freedman admitted that one way or another, Tfue was getting out of his contract with FaZe as the initial contract will be deemed to be \u201cvoid\u201d. FaZe Clan were contacted by theScore Esport to add their side to the story, but they refused to comment. This definitely won\u2019t be the last we hear from the ongoing battle between Tfue and FaZe, so be sure to stay tuned to Dexerto for all the latest developments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
