Evans was the first to sue, claiming that Day has refused to honor their contract which entitles him to a 40% royalty on her publishing and a 20% commission on other profits. He alleges that Day has withheld this money since 2024 and that he is owed a cut of her $1.5 million in publishing advances from Kobalt as well as backend payments from her acting role in the Netflix movie The Deliverance.
