Story summary
  • Robert Clivillés sued Freedom Williams in New York on Aug. 14, 2026, seeking trademark cancellation and $30 million for defamation, fraud, infringement and breach of contract.
  • Clivillés alleges Williams performed unauthorized C+C shows since 1996, earning $5,000-$10,000 per gig, and notes a 2016 trademark-cancellation petition was dismissed on June 25, 2018.
