Celeb agent loses bail fight
CELEBRITY manager Titus Day, who faces charges for allegedly ripping off pop star Guy Sebastian to the tune of $1 million, has pleaded with a court to allow him to jet overseas for a major sporting event this month.
Day appeared in the Downing Centre Local Court on Friday morning where the court was told the high-profile talent manager was “clinging on” to his last remaining client, UFC star Robert Whittaker.
Day’s lawyers argued for a variation of his bail conditions that would allow him to fly out to Abu Dhabi to support Mr Whittaker for his fight with Englishman Darren Till.
The media attention surrounding his 61 charges had led to “reputational damage”, the court was told. Day’s legal team said he would be defending the charges.
His lawyers submitted the stoush between The Voice coach Mr Sebastian and Day is over a sum of money far larger than what he is alleged to have skimmed from the singer by police.
His legal team was prepared to put up a $100,000 surety with the court. Magistrate Michael Antrum dismissed the application.
