Andra Day accuses longtime manager of leaving her broke and facing eviction in bombshell lawsuit

Andra Day says she’s broke and facing eviction — all because of her former manager’s “greed,” according to a new lawsuit.

The Oscar-nominated actress and singer claims in the filing that she can’t even pay her minimum credit card payment after music biz exec Jeff Evans was “caught red-handed” stealing from her.

Evans sued the “United States vs. Billie Holiday” star earlier this week, claiming that she breached their contract and that she owes him nearly a million dollars.

But Day filed a countersuit, slamming Evans as “a faithless fiduciary” who scammed Day “with blindless greed.”

“He siphoned so much money from Day — a quadruple-platinum hitmaker and Golden Globe Best actress winner — that he left her facing eviction, unable to pay the monthly minimum on her credit card debt, and without sufficient funds to tour,” the lawsuit alleges.

Day is known for her inspirational 2015 song “Rise Up.”

In 2021, her role as Billie Holiday in “The United States vs. Billie Holiday” earned her a Golden Globe for Best Actress and a Best Actress nomination at the Oscars.

She starred alongside Glenn Close in Lee Daniels’ Netflix thriller “The Deliverance” last year.

Day was introduced to Evans by Stevie Wonder’s wife, and signed a deal with his Buskin Records and BassLine Management in 2011.

They have been embroiled in financial disputes for years, with Day ultimately terminating her relationship with BassLine in March, according to Evan’s lawsuit.

Evans’ suit also claims they’re “owed a minimum of $850,000” in back payments from “The Deliverance” and a percentage of her publishing advances.

Meanwhile, Day’s lawyers countered in her suit that “the Buskin Defendants have admitted to failing to pay Day [at least] $575,486.00” and that she “believes this amount is significantly more.”

TMZ was the first to report on Day and her manager’s fallout.
