Taylor Swift’s Legal Battle With DJ David ‘Jackson’ Mueller Heats Up
Taylor Swift has fired another shot at the DJ accusing her of getting him fired by allegedly lying and suggesting he groped her during a concert in 2013.
According to a new report from Radar Online, the 27-year-old singer, who is currently in the midst of working on her new album, recently filed documents requesting the judge on their case deny Muller the opportunity to present his claim to the jury.
As the outlet explained, DJ David “Jackson” Mueller has accused the singer of costing him $3 million dollars in future wages with his now-ex-employer, Colorado radio station 98.5 KYGO, due to her allegedly false claim about him groping her years ago.
Taylor Swift claimed the DJ groped her at a 2013 concert
The alleged incident took place in June 2013 during a meet-and-greet event at one of Swift’s concerts.
According to Mueller, he and his girlfriend offered compliments to Swift and took photos with her before remaining “pleasant as she bid them goodbye.” However, according to Swift, the JD grabbed her backside as they posed for photos.
“Mueller said he was then kicked out of the venue and eventually fired him as a result of Swift and her team’s accusations,” Radar Online revealed, “He filed suit demanding unspecified damages, and Swift fired back with a lawsuit of her own.”
Why does Taylor Swift want the DJ’s latest request thrown out?
In her latest court filing, Swift claimed Mueller’s supposed “expert witness,” Jeffrey B. Opp, lacks proper qualifications. She also noted that his opinion of their case was not based on facts.
“He is simply not qualified to offer opinions about Mueller’s prospects for future employment as an on-air personality or his ‘value’ as an on-air radio personality,” Swift argued through her lawyers.
Her team also added, “Mr. Opp freely admits that he has ‘absolutely’ no expertise in the radio industry and is not a vocational expert on the radio industry.”
