美国摇滚歌手达瑞·霍尔声称在法律纠纷中被约翰·奥茨“伏击”

Daryl Hall has filed a first-person declaration explaining his side of the story as a legal fight with his Hall & Oates bandmate continues.

达瑞·霍尔提交了第一人称声明，解释了他与Hall & Oates乐队成员的法律斗争仍在继续。

In the filing obtained by PEOPLE, Hall alleges that John Oates ambushed him with plans to sell his share of a joint business venture to a third party.

在《人物》获得的文件中，霍尔声称约翰·奥茨埋伏在他面前，计划将他在一家合资企业中的股份出售给第三方。

"This recent bad faith conduct by John Oates and the Oates Trust has created tremendous upheaval, harm, and difficulty in my life, not to mention unnecessary expense and burden, during a time when I am in the middle of a tour throughout the U.S. West Coast, Japan, and Manilla and need to focus and perform at top level," Hall, 77, claims in the filing.

77岁的霍尔在文件中称:“约翰·奥茨和奥茨信托基金最近的恶意行为给我的生活带来了巨大的动荡、伤害和困难，更不用说不必要的费用和负担了，而此时我正在美国西海岸、日本和马尼拉进行巡回演出，需要集中精力，以最高水平表现。”

He adds, "I believe that John Oates timed the Unauthorized Transaction to create the most harm to me. Respectfully, he must be stopped from this latest wrongdoing and his malicious conduct reined in once and for all."

他补充说:“我认为约翰·奥茨选择了未经授权交易的时机，对我造成了最大的伤害。恕我直言，必须制止他最近的不法行为，并彻底遏制他的恶意行为。”

In court documents previously reviewed by PEOPLE, Hall argued that Oates, 75, selling his share would be a violation of a business agreement previously reached by the pair. The “Rich Girl” singers entered into an agreement in October 2021 over Whole Oats Enterprises LLP (WOE), a limited liability partnership owned and controlled by the musicians, per the complaint.

在《人物》杂志之前看过的法庭文件中，霍尔辩称，75岁的奥茨出售他的股份将违反两人之前达成的商业协议。根据诉状，《富家女孩》的歌手们于2021年10月就Whole Oats Enterprises LLP (WOE)达成了一项协议，这是一家由音乐家拥有和控制的有限责任合伙企业。

In the declaration, Hall called Oates' move "completely clandestine" and in "bad faith," leading him to feel "ambushed."

在声明中，霍尔称奥茨的行动是“完全秘密的”和“恶意的”，这让他感到“遭到了伏击”。

"His behavior has become adversarial and aggressive instead of professional and courteous. He began making numerous demands upon me related to, among other things, the social media and trademark assets in WOE, creating disagreements brought to my door by a revolving cast of lawyers," he writes. "It appears to me that John Oates’ intent has become to burden and harass me without regard to my interests as his business partner, or the interests of WOE."

“他的行为变得敌对和好斗，而不是专业和礼貌。他开始向我提出许多要求，其中包括社交媒体和WOE的商标资产，不断有律师把分歧带到我的门前，”他写道。“在我看来，约翰·奥茨的意图已经变成了负担和骚扰我，而不考虑我作为他的商业伙伴的利益，也不考虑WOE的利益。”

Lawyers for both Hall and Oates did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.

霍尔和奥茨的律师都没有立即回应《人物》杂志的置评请求。

On Nov. 9, Hall initiated an arbitration process against Oates to prevent his bandmate from transferring 100% of his right, title and interest in Whole Oats to a third-party buyer called Primary Wave Music without Hall’s consent, a transaction he claims is “unauthorized and void” and a breach of contract. Hall alleged that Oates had entered into a letter of intent with Primary Wave that could’ve closed as early as Nov. 20, and Hall argued that the sale would cause him “imminent irreparable harm.”

11月9日，霍尔启动了针对奥茨的仲裁程序，以阻止他的乐队成员在未经霍尔同意的情况下将他在Whole Oats的100%权利、所有权和利益转让给一个名为Primary Wave Music的第三方买家，霍尔声称这是一笔“未经授权且无效”的交易，并且违反了合同。霍尔声称，奥茨已经与Primary Wave签订了一份意向书，该意向书最早可能在11月20日完成，霍尔辩称，这笔交易将给他带来“迫在眉睫的不可挽回的伤害”。

When Hall’s court complaint was filed on Nov. 16, no arbitrator had been chosen, leaving Hall unable to pursue his pending request in the arbitration for temporary injunctive relief in the manner requested. 

当霍尔的诉讼于11月16日提交时，没有选定仲裁员，这使得霍尔无法按照要求的方式在仲裁中寻求临时禁令救济的未决请求。

He alleged in documents that he sought the restraining order against Oates — which was granted the next day — in order to close the Primary Wave transaction “so as to maintain the status quo of WOE before there is a change in control of the partnership in violation of the terms of the Agreement.”

他在文件中声称，他寻求对Oates的限制令(第二天获得批准)是为了完成Primary Wave的交易，“以便在违反协议条款的合伙企业控制权发生变化之前维持WOE的现状”。

Primary Wave has already owned significant interest in the Grammy-nominated musicians’ song catalog for more than 15 years, according to the Associated Press.

据美联社报道，Primary Wave已经在这些格莱美提名音乐人的歌曲目录中拥有超过15年的大量权益。

Hall’s attorneys said much of the matter should remain under seal because it is a “private dispute… This is not a matter of legitimate public interest, although the parties are well known.” His legal team noted that the dispute concerns the interpretation of the 2021 agreement, the terms of which remain confidential.

霍尔的律师说，这件事的大部分内容应该保密，因为这是一个“私人纠纷……这不是一个合法的公共利益问题，尽管当事人都很有名。”他的法律团队指出，争议涉及2021年协议的解释，该协议的条款仍然保密。

The case will ultimately be decided in a confidential arbitration process. A hearing is set for Thursday, Nov. 30 to consider extending the restraining order.

此案最终将在保密的仲裁程序中裁决。听证会定于11月30日星期四举行，以考虑延长限制令。

Hall filed against Oates as well as Aimee Oates and Richard Flynn, the co-trustees of the John W. Oates TISA Trust. All defendants were issued summonses by Nov. 20, and a pro hac vice motion was filed two days later, meaning Hall requested an out-of-state attorney to join the case.

霍尔起诉了奥茨以及约翰·w·奥茨TISA信托基金的共同受托人艾米·奥茨和理查德·弗林。11月20日之前，所有被告都收到了传票，两天后又提交了一份辩护动议，这意味着霍尔要求一名州外律师加入此案。

Though he has not publicly commented, Oates has posted to social media since the drama began, sharing a message on X (formerly Twitter) on Nov. 22 that encouraged people to support local charities.

虽然奥茨没有公开发表评论，但自从这部剧开始以来，他就在社交媒体上发帖，并于11月22日在X(以前的Twitter)上分享了一条信息，鼓励人们支持当地的慈善机构。

“During this time of communal reflection and connection with loved ones, let's not forget those experiencing challenges globally,” he wrote. “As we come together, consider reaching out to support those in need—whether through local charities or international humanitarian initiatives. May our collective efforts contribute to a more compassionate and supportive world. J.O.”

他写道:“在这个共同反思和与亲人联系的时刻，让我们不要忘记那些在全球面临挑战的人。”“当我们聚集在一起时，考虑伸出援手支持那些有需要的人——无论是通过当地慈善机构还是国际人道主义倡议。愿我们的共同努力有助于建立一个更加富有同情心和相互支持的世界。J.O.”
