Travis Tritt is having some big-time T-R-O-U-B-L-E with his record label and its president -- he just sued 'em, alleging, among other things, that the label was started with money Ray Termini siphoned from the nursing home company he also ran. Shady!
The country crooner filed suit in U.S. District Court in Nashville yesterday, claiming that his career has suffered "irreparable damage" because of Category 5 Records' "false, unfair and deceptive acts."
According to court papers, Tritt signed with the label back in 2005, and claims that since then Termin hasi misrepresented his wealth, competence, experience, corporate resources and knowledge of the industry. You know, the little things!
Termini is also CEO of the now-bankrupt Haven Healthcare, which is being investigated by the State of Connecticut for allegedly using Medicaid money to start up the record label, which was also staffed by Haven Healthcare employees. A state audit also showed that Termini purchased a yacht and three apartment buildings in Connecticut with company funds.
Tritt is seeking at least $10 million in damages. Termini told the Associated Press that he hadn't yet been served and couldn't comment.

Here is a quarter from someone who cares. Go Billy Ray Cyrus! It goes to show you can't keep a good man down.
Kick it ol' school Trav and hire Joe Pesci from that My Cousin Vinnie movie you did that song from since he don't look like he has been doing anything lately. It's all about representation.
Karma is biting TT's ass, for slamming the Dixie Chicks when they spoke out against Bush's clusterf**k war!
"chad b" It was not just Travis it was everyone trashing the IDIOT Chicks. Even what fans they had said goodbye. Must tell you something idiot.
saw this guy on larry king and have to say.........WHAT AN IDIOT! THIS DUDE IS A REAL COUNTRY BUMPKIN!
Oh yeah, there is such a thing as KARMA, and it couldn't happen to a dumber jerk! Billy Ray is laughing all the way to the bank..........while this loser is still......losing. Here's a quarter, now go call somebody who cares~

Oh Travis, remember all those comments you USED to say about Billy Ray? HAHAHA. Too funny! You suck and always have! I knew someday you would EAT THOSE WORDS! Looks like your surely eating something! GEESH!
im lost here, with some of you people, what does the comments travis made about Billy Ray 15 years ago have to do with this law suit ??? some of you people are the real fools
Go Away Paris......You are a SKANK:
Travis........go into court in that wheelchair that you use in so many of your videos.
The jury will have sympathy and will award you megabucks!
Remember: Use the wheelchair dude!
Wheelchair= Big Jury Awards!
Throw in a neck brace if you can find one pretty cheap!
I remember how this coked up fatass used to talk about everyone like his short lived fame was going to last forever. Tritt is a loser and always will be. This is the type of guy everyone has known sometime in their life.. he somehow gets money.. whether its inheritance, hits the lotto, or most likey sues somebody and is broke in a year. definition- loser. After I saw him repeatedly trash anyone and everyone whenever he got air time.. I knew I would see this day.. When the girls, money and his limited mind would be gone.. Karma is alive and well..................

Musicians are never satisfied with their earnings. They would sue the fans if they thought that they could get more money.
i am not really a fan of country music but working in a record store for years(when there was such a thing as a record store-lol)i kinda got hooked on travis tritts music. my friends thought i was nuts. this was when sisters of mercy and depeche mode was really hot and i am saying i really like travis tritts music...what it comes down to is this-travis tritt has a great voice and most importantly the man is one of the best songwriters out there today. jeff horton
