Suit: Affair with patriotic singer
Former US Sen. Scott Brown’s “American Idol” contestant daughter had an affair with a patriotic-rock singer while married to a former Major League Baseball player, according to a bizarre lawsuit involving a singer that plays at Donald Trump rallies.
Ayla Brown (below), who married onetime Colorado Rockies pitcher Keith Weiser in 2014, got hot and heavy with the lead singer of Madison Rising, which bills itself as “America’s most patriotic band,” the band’s management claims in court papers.
The “indiscretions” between Brown and married vocalist Dave Bray (above) damaged Madison Rising’s reputation, claims the band, which toured with Brown last year.
Brown, at age 17, competed on “American Idol” in 2006, finishing 13th.
Her Republican father represented Massachusetts for three years before losing his seat to Elizabeth Warren in 2013.
Bray, whose wife, Rebecca, also worked for the band, allegedly had a “lengthy extramarital affair” with Brown, according to court papers that include text messages from Weiser regarding the alleged trysts.
The affair revelation was made in a Manhattan Su- preme Court lawsuit filed against David and Rebecca Bray by Purple Eagle Entertainment, which owns and created Madison Rising.
The management claims in court papers that David Bray, who earned $78,000 annually, turned out to be a violent, binge-drinking lout who assaulted bandmates and manager Richard Mgrdechian and stole the group’s music and fans after he was canned earlier this year.
“Under the direction of my attorney, I’ve been told not to comment. Any further comments may be found by subscribing to: www.DaveBrayUSA.com,” Bray told The Post.
Bray, whose patriotic schtick includes praising God and accolades on military and law-enforcement personnel, bragged about his violent past, including a claim that he beat up a pair of Pennsylvania cops years ago, and “choked out” his superior officer in the Navy, Mgrdechian charges.
Mgrdechian, an engineer and investor from Queens, formed Madison Rising and invested $400,000 of his own money to put out songs like “In the Days that Reagan Ruled.”
He said that Bray also violated agreements when he competed with the band by performing at political events like Donald Trump rallies.
