Jewelry Company Sues Chris Crocker for Fraud

Chris Crocker finds himself the defendant in a $1 million Lawsuit

“All you people want is more, more, more, more, more!” said Chris Crocker in what is surely one of the most infamous video rants of the YouTube era (watch again here). Now Britney Spears’ #1 fan is facing the realities of stardom, and it has nothing to do with the deal he signed for his own TV series (read about it). Apparently Crocker had a deal with Onch Movement Jewelry that obligated him to promote its line and, well, all Chris wanted was more, more, more, more, more!

Crocker also appears to lack any sort of representation: The 19-year-old lives with his grandparents in Tennessee, and perhaps it was the advice of his grandmother to trade his obligations to Onch for…and no, we’re not making this up…a plane ticket to LA.

In exchange, Crocker would, according to the complaint, “wear solely Onch Movement Jewelry during the duration of his stay in LA,” “do two days of press,” and would “mention that he was flown out by Plaintiff for the press campaign (a shout-out was deemed sufficient by Plaintiff.” Who knew the American justice system officially recognized the meaning of the term “shout out?!” Crocker was also obligated to attend the “Just Britney Art Show.”

Could someone get Crocker a representative? In exchange for all of that he agreed to a plane ticket?!

How, exactly, Crocker didn’t live up to his end of the bargain is unclear (unless you’re a lawyer, I suppose). Either way, he somehow “deceived” Onch into believing that he would live up to his end of the deal when, apparently he had “no intention” of doing so.

And because of the damage this has done to Onch’s reputation, they’re seeking $1 million (side note: Until Onch sued Chris Crocker, did they even have a reputation?). The head of marketing at Onch was either served a pink slip this week or was promoted to CEO.

Welcome to Hollywood, Chris!

Something tells me we’re only scratching the surface of the Chris Crocker Experience. Buckle your seatbelts.

Chris is innocent!

I'm assuming Chris was made to sign a bunch of shit without knowing exactly what he was supposed to do. They probably never made it clear too him what his obligations where, I smell a fraudulent lawsuit. As for not attending the Just Britney Art Show, Chris received death threats if he went, so he's 100% not guilty there.

He DOES have a rep. if you

He DOES have a rep. if you did some research. There are links all over his MySpace page with his agent on it. So much for snarky reporting.

Pebbles, you apparently lack

Where can I buy a domain to point wayward readers to their very own Facetiousness Radar, as you apparently have a monopoly on this commodity?

So your saying Chris was made to sign a bunch of shit without knowing exactly what he was supposed to do. Ok he was givin the contract. Hes how old and made the decision he fucked the company over and deserves this. Weather is was clear to him or not, HE SIGNED THE CONTRACT. I hope this destroys his chance to get a tv show. This kid is fucked up, along with the thousands of fans. Just remember what he said WHO CARS ABOUT 9/11.

Who Cares?

Okay, so who cares whether Chris Crocker cares about 9/11? Not everyone needs to be such a Nationalist.

Whatever guys. Chris makes

Whatever guys. Chris makes me laugh my ass off every time I watch his overreacting rants about anything (read: Britney). Britney's really lucky to have such a wonderful fan. I need more of him for my daily dose of humor.
