  • Stevie Wonder’s Lawyer Abused His Blindness With This Outrageous Contract Clause

    The internet might be full of Stevie Wonder blind jokes but it looks like the biggest piss-take of all came from his now deceased lawyer, a man who duped him into signing a contract back when he was 21.

    That contract is now being contested by the legend himself, with this below from TMZ:

    Stevie just filed legal docs, obtained by TMZ, in which he says his longtime lawyer, Johanan Vigoda, put a contract in front of Stevie’s face when he was 21 years old. The deal was, Stevie would pay Johanan 6% of all music royalties. But there’s a clause that says payments to the lawyer’s family go on “forever.”

    Johanan died in 2011, but Stevie’s record company continued to pay Johanan’s widow. Stevie says he didn’t realize payments were being made for nearly 2 years, and when he caught wind, he ordered payments to be stopped. He claims he trusted Johanan and the lawyer never said the 6% would survive his death.

    Wonder says that the contract should be made null and void because Vigoda took advantage of his blindness, although Vigoda’s widow has now countered with a $7 million lawsuit of her own demanding the payments continue.

    I guess that’s the thing about being lawyers, the 99% giving that other 1% a bad name.
