Northeast Banana Corp sued the company Produce Depot, Luis and a business partner.
The lawsuit read: “Between on or about November 30, 2020 and December 14, 2020, NBC sold and delivered to Produce Depot in interstate commerce wholesale quantities of produce, including bananas, plantains and pineapples, in the aggregate principal amount of at least $44,490.”
The business partner listed in the lawsuit made “repeated promises” that Produce Depot would “make certain post-default payments for amounts due,” but Northeast Banana Company “has not received” the payments.
The lawsuit read: “To date, Produce Depot has failed and refused to make payment to NBC for the produce within the payment terms agreed between the parties.”
As for Luis, he allegedly “failed to direct Produce Depot to fulfill its statutory duties” and “knew or should have known that at all relevant times Produce Depot was in breach.”
Luis was described as a “controlling officer, director, member and/or shareholder of Produce Depot, an insider with actual or constructive knowledge of PACA and the trust provisions thereof, and responsible for daily management and control of Produce Depot, including its finances, accounts receivable, accounts payable and company affairs.”
The lawsuit continued: “Produce Depot has benefited and been enriched by NBC’s deliveries of the Produce. Produce Depot’s benefit and enrichment was at NBC’s expense.
“It would be unjust for Produce Depot under the circumstances described herein to retain the benefit of and enrichment from the Produce without paying NBC for the Produce.”
The Plaintiff is asking for $44,490.
The company, Luis and his business partner did not respond to the lawsuit.
On April 8, 2021, both parties chose to voluntarily dismiss the lawsuit.
Teresa was involved in her own legal troubles in the past as she was committed on fraud charges and served 11 months in prison.
Her ex-husband Joe Giudice also served time for his involvement, spending 41 months in prison before the Italian native was deported.
He is splitting his time residing between Italy and the Bahamas where their four daughters - Gia, Gabriella, 18, Milania, 16, and Audriana, 13 - frequently visit.
'RED FLAG'
Teresa's RHONJ co-stars have expressed their suspicions over her new beau on the show after a video surfaced of him talking to one of his exes.
In the clip, the businessman can be seen bare-chested surrounded by fellow shirtless men - whom he calls his “brothers.”
He is standing on the beach and appears to be addressing one of his exes.
In the video he says: “I’m coming home to see you, get engaged and bring our family together and finally get married and have a life together. I’ve been here for a week."
He continued: “I love our children and I hope you receive this message well. Thank you, I love you. Thank you for your time. I hope that this hits your heart... And I hope to come home to have the opportunity to talk to you, and share with you my experience with my life.”
Cast member Traci Johnson called the video “bizarre” and a “red flag," while Jackie Goldschneider found it “weird."
Teresa's sister-in-law Melissa Gorga said it was “crazy,” as Jennifer Aydin called it “weirdo s**t."
Teresa even refused to film at one point because of the gossip about Luis.
Luis addressed the video later on in the season after Margaret Josephs asked him about it, claiming that the conversation was meant to clear the air between them.
Although Margaret didn't buy it, saying "The video we all saw, he was proposing and now he's saying it was a breakup video?"
SNUBBED BRIDESMAID
Meanwhile, Teresa seems to have pushed passed the incident as she has dished details on their special day.
The TV star guest-starred on where she revealed that she will have "eight bridesmaids" at her wedding.
Teresa then confessed that her brother's wife Melissa will not be one of them, shocking host Andy Cohen.
"Will this be news to her?" Andy inquired.
