Demoree Hadley’s lawsuit against her mom Desiree Perez has now pulled Roc Nation into an insurance battle worth $500K.
Roc Nation is now fighting its own insurance company in court, and the family war that started it all traces back to Desiree Perez’s daughter accusing her of having her forcibly committed to a psych ward to destroy her marriage.
Demoree Hadley sued her mother in May 2025, claiming Perez weaponized Florida’s Baker Act and Marchman Act to have her locked in a psychiatric facility for nearly two weeks against her will, all to separate her from her husband Javon Hadley.
Demoree’s drug tests came back negative throughout the detention, according to NBC Miami, and she accused her mother of hacking her devices, fabricating domestic violence claims against Javon, and using money and industry influence to run a coordinated campaign against her family.
Perez has denied every allegation and filed her own lawsuit against Javon, claiming he abused Demoree for years.
The insurance fight has its own twist.
Roc Nation spent months in court successfully arguing it had nothing to do with the family dispute, and a judge dismissed the company from Demoree’s case with prejudice in October 2025.
On that exact same day, Roc Nation’s agent filed a claim with New York Marine and General Insurance Company demanding the insurer cover Perez’s entire legal defense.
New York Marine pushed back with a denial in March 2026, then filed its own preemptive lawsuit in April arguing that Perez wasn’t acting as CEO when any of the alleged conduct took place, so she didn’t qualify as an insured under the company’s commercial liability policies.
Now, Roc Nation has fired back in New York State Supreme Court accusing New York Marine of breach of contract, bad faith, and violations of New York’s consumer protection law, seeking at least $500,000 in damages plus punitive damages and attorneys’ fees.
The filing covers Roc Nation, Perez, and Roc Nation employee Natalie Anderson as named insureds under two policies the carrier issued to the company between November 2023 and September 2024.
Reed Smith LLP is leading the charge for Roc Nation.
The Florida case itself keeps escalating.
On June 18, Perez filed a motion asking the court to dismiss Demoree’s lawsuit entirely and shut down her social media accounts, accusing her daughter of running a coordinated influence operation through bloggers, bots, and an X account called @DemoreeDocket to violate a standing gag order and pressure a settlement.
Jail calls allegedly recorded Javon saying, “We’re gonna make her settle. It’s a payday.”
Trial is currently set for November 16, 2026.
