King Richard and his Kingdom speed away in his $136,500 Mercedes GT63S

He hired an artist to design a whole new look for all his social media/streaming stuff. Paid a down payment for the work of 10%. Artist delivers some of the designs after a 5+ month wait period. Streamer is ticked off at how long it's taking and doesn't like what he's gotten so far so he decides to end the contract. Artist is pissed off because he isn't paid the 100% so makes a video about what happened in a fairly skewed and one sided way which gains a lot of traction online and it blows up on here. Artist doesn't show anything in the contract and claims it's for "legal reasons" but there are no legal reasons to not show a contract especially when it's being claimed to have been violated i/e not paying what is supposed to be paid. Streamer gets pretty much non-stop hate and anyone who asks simple questions which are not skewed in favor of artist is heavily downvoted/hated. Streamer says he will work it out with the artist and artist takes down his video about the incident.

Neither side shows any actual part of the contract so no one knows any specifics and because of that no one can actually say who is at fault. The general consensus is that the artist is being unfairly denied money even though early termination's, contract violations, time limits etc... are all very standard concepts in dealing with contracts/contracted work.

Talks between streamer and artist break down again of which we don't know any bit of the context of it i/e WHY it broke down and who's at fault for that as well(did the artist demand some massive amount of money that wasn't agreed upon in a form of blackmail or strong arm tactic? or did the streamer just not want to relent and pay anything? are either decisions based upon the way the contract is worded and it's legal options?). The hate against the streamer kicks back up again and now we're back to everyone having no information what so ever other than extremely skewed bits and pieces as well as a lot of people who claim early termination's aren't apart of contracts.

Basically no one knows the specifics of what happened but everyone is against the streamer because of that first video which is pretty unfair and the entire thing is acting like one gigantic smear campaign in order to blackmail or strong arm the streamer into paying some outrageous amount of money.
