Dash said he hasn’t been able to earn at the levels he’s been used to since the coronavirus pandemic hit nearly four years ago.

Dash said, “It’s all about business. It’s about these lawyers, they try to manipulate things and they don’t care if they ruin your life.’
Dash said Roy was in control of the child support payments at the time, and “what she would do is not pay the child support, resign as manager and never correct the situation.”
He added: ‘The way I situated the child support would go to the company – Rachel Roy – she was the manager of the company and she would pay the child support.’
