Chisholm's attorney calls it quits

One Mighty Weekend promoter Johnny Chisholm appears to be on the hunt for new legal representation.

Two investors are suing Chisholm on seven counts, including breach of contract, fraud, racketeering and civil theft. Plaintiffs Stephen Bardfield of New York and Charles Carver of North Carolina claim they loaned Chisholm $200,000 to fund deposits for his One Mighty Weekend parties during Gay Days, with the understanding that Chisholm had secured Walt Disney World venues. They seek immediate repayment, including interest.

Major One Mighty Weekend parties have historically been held at Disney, and this year’s events were promoted—with tickets sold—in keeping with that tradition. But the events were actually held at an off-Disney venue.

At a hearing mid-July, the judge granted Attorney Bruce Fehr’s motion to withdraw from the case, then gave Chisholm 30 days to secure new legal representation. Other deadlines were also set on that date, including a discovery deadline for Nov. 23 of this year and a dispositive motions deadline for Dec. 14.

Calls to Chisholm and Fehr for comment have not been returned.
