Ellie Goulding Sues Ex-Managers Over Undisclosed Live Nation Ownership

British pop star Ellie Goulding has filed a lawsuit against her former management company, TaP Management, alleging a conflict of interest related to Live Nation.

Goulding claims that TaP's leaders, Ben Mawson and Ed Millet, failed to disclose that the company's parent entity, HNOE, was partially and later fully owned by Live Nation. The lawsuit asserts that this undisclosed relationship led TaP to push Goulding towards working with Live Nation, potentially benefiting the management and Live Nation at her expense.

The legal action highlights concerns over transparency and potential conflicts of interest within the music industry, particularly when major live entertainment corporations have ownership stakes in management firms. Goulding's suit seeks to address these alleged deceptions and their impact on her career decisions.
