Lil Peep’s Wrongful Death Lawsuit Reaches Settlement

-

Lil Peep’s mother Liza Womack has reached an out-of-court settlement for her lawsuit for wrongful deaths against the management team of her son.

In a report by the Blast, lawyers on both sides –Womack and First Access Entertainment (FAE) Womack along with First Access Entertainment (FAE) — have told Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Teresa A. Beaudet that the case was settled “in the principle” earlier this week.

Lil Peep passed away following an overdose of drugs in the year 2017. His mother filed a lawsuit against FAE for his death, claiming that they together with his the former director Brian “Chase” Ortega and the manager of the tour Belinda Mercer, enabled her son’s use of drugs and forced him to perform even though the man was not fit to perform.

Womack is going after FAE for negligence, negligence in the breach of contract. The company, however, FAE denied any wrongdoing in a statement made in the year 2019.

“Lil Peep’s demise due to an accidental overdose of a drug was a tragedy of a magnitude,” FAE said. “However it is claimed the claim that First Access Entertainment, any of its employees, Chase Ortega, or anyone who is under our supervision were somehow involved in, responsible for or in the cause of the death of his son is untrue.”

Peep’s mom spoke in an interview with Pitchfork about the case of her son in 2021, explaining the reason she filed the lawsuit, and what she was hoping to achieve through it .

“If individuals are responsible for what they did, I’ll believe the justice is served,” she said. “You are able to bear the pain and be an entirely different person because when your child passes away the person you became dead, too. However, I’ll be happy and hope to be content.”

In the past the judge Beaudet had granted the approval to proceed in the trial following Womack “demonstrated a casual link” with regard to the lapses of First Access Entertainment during her son’s 2017 overdose of a drug that occurred in Arizona.

Judge Beaudet thinks that FAE could have been more proactive in creating an environment that was safer for Lil Peep.

“If you’re planning to create an environment in which drugs flow and you’re providing the environment, and you’re not carrying any life-saving device, or Narcan to aid those who may be struggling with these substances, it’s apparent to me that you’re creating a very risky situation,” the judge said.

It was scheduled to start in the month of March 2023 with each FAE as well as Peep’s Tour Manager Belinda Mercer taking on the suit.

I don’t know if it’s typical, but it seems unhealthy because I waited too long to start working and leaving him in anyone’s care, so now I have this really awful separation anxiety, she added.
