Clayton And The Dublin Court
U2 bassist Adam Clayton had started a legal action against his former assistant Carol Hawkins, said Irish Independent. Musician insists that his ex-aide has stolen up to 1,6 million pounds (2,5 million dollars), and totally denies such a fact. Well, it sounds pretty rough, and Mr. Clayton should think again before hiring another assistant. As he said, in November 2009 Hawkins had confessed to him that she wasted a big portion of his wealth by using Adam’s bank card. After that, he was literally forced to fire her (heh, obviously). Presumably, Hawkins spent all these money on buying property in New York, purchasing cars and jewelry. While appealing to the court in Dublin, Clayton was able to ‘freeze’ her bank account, so she is not going to spend anything anymore. The court did not identify the exact sum, which had gone away and still needs to check if Clayton is right about 1,6 million pounds; the whole thing needs to be checked over again. The next court hearing will take place on Monday, December 21. Often a lot of strangers and closely related individuals are trying to get money from actors, musicians and generally speaking famous people, so Clayton is not the only one in this situation.
