Let’s just go over what is really going on between Bridget Bahl and Ashley Leo, the co-founders of the trendy fashion label, The Bar. Just so you know though, it kinda used to be a leader for new-age fashion and business creativity, but now it has become a court case subject. So, where did things go wrong? Well, Ashley has sued Bridget by citing dishonest financial transactions and ruining her faith. This is not just a market but rather a fight between two creative souls who have lost contact with each other, and that’s why we’d take a look at this Bridget The Bar Lawsuit. Here we go.
How The Bar Went From Fashion Goals to Legal Troubles
Let’s first start with just a little bit of history, so, you see, The Bar was launched in 2022 and at first it appeared it was a dream project. Bridget, a well-known fashion influencer, brought lots of publicity and star power while Ashley, the creative director, kept being artistic. They both built a brand that is known for chic and trendy clothing.
Though, things were getting messed up behind the scenes. Ashley said that Bridget was not doing her part. Like, she even laid bare the accusation of Bridget bending over to break the company’s rules, messing up the company’s funds, and not being committed enough to The Bar. The shocking one though? You see, Bridget was suspected of misusing the company’s fund to finance her glamorous wedding in New York City. At this moment, Ashley is pursuing legal action not simply for herself but also on behalf of their company since she is seeking accountability.
What Are The Allegations Here?
As far as the details that are out in the open, you see, Bridget’s alleged engagement in the use of funds from The Bar, which is meant to be for business purposes only, is what Ashley says she was after, in her suit, which she claims is about financial mismanagement and his company’s neglect of business responsibilities, you know? Like, the wedding was funded with the Bar’s money, Ashley states in her lawsuit. What they have shared as partners comes second to these competing projects, according to Ashley.
Though, for Bridget, the implications could be very damaging if they could be substantiated. Keep in mind though, nonetheless, the lawsuit is still in the works as Bridget has refrained from commenting on these allegations. Instead, she has concentrated on having her life away from work, including coping with breast cancer. For now, yes, the ongoing litigation has yet to reach a resolution. All in all, for the time being, only the wait-and-see game is on as we await the outcome of this legal mess.
And What’s The Emergency Exit Controversy In All This?
You see, to make matters worse, there have also been accusations against Bridget regarding her wedding. Like, at her grandiose ceremony in New York City, it was reported that she used ornamental plates to hide emergency exit signs so as to make her shots look better. Although the act may have seemed trendy, it didn’t sit well with people on the internet, and why’s that though? The audience condemned her for the higher priority placed on oh-my-god-the-wedding-look-than-safety, mentioning that because of the disastrous history like the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in 1911, such signs are a must.
The backlash though, went so far and big that it was uncontrollable at one point. You see, the backlash became so intense that Bridget deleted her TikTok showing off the wedding hack, but the controversy is still there on the internet, you know, further tarnishing her public image.
