Angus Cloud’s mother, Lisa, is persisting in her legal disputes regarding his estate following his passing. She is calling for an investigation into what she deems as “false” allegations made by Jonathan Kim, the former assistant of the late ‘Euphoria’ star. Kim asserted that he was owed $310,000 for his work and commissions, but his initial claim for the money was denied in February 2024. Subsequently, he pursued a civil suit, which was also rejected later that year.
Angus Cloud tragically passed away in 2023 at the age of 25 due to an accidental overdose. Lisa Cloud is currently standing firm in the legal battles that have unfolded in the wake of his untimely death. Court documents obtained by PEOPLE reveal that Lisa is seeking the final distribution of her son’s estate two years after his passing. In a letter dated March 24, 2025, she refuted accusations by Jonathan Kim and his legal team, led by Attorney Brian Geremia.
Lisa alleges that Kim had no evidence to support his claim of being employed by Angus and that false evidence was submitted to substantiate his demand for $310,000 in commissions. She contends that neither Kim nor Geremia were able to provide any proof of debt for the alleged commissions. Kim’s attempt to claim the money was dismissed in 2024. Lisa also clarified that the actor’s estate is currently valued at $50,000, contradicting reports that suggested it was worth millions.
She further accuses Kim and his legal team of exploiting Angus’s status to pressure her into settling the matter. Lisa argues that the statute of limitations for verbal agreements had expired before Kim’s probate claim was filed, rendering it invalid. She claims that the lawsuits were pursued for personal gain and caused unnecessary delays in closing the probate.
Additionally, Lisa highlights that Kim admitted under pressure from his attorneys that the claims made in the lawsuit were orchestrated by his legal team. She stresses the lack of evidence or witnesses produced by the attorneys during the litigation. Lisa maintains that the lawsuits were filed in bad faith and for personal profit.
In summary, Lisa Cloud continues to advocate for the integrity of her son’s estate amid legal battles and disputes surrounding alleged commissions and employment claims by Jonathan Kim.
The woman claimed that he was pressured into approving the submission when his lawyers allegedly threatened to withdraw from representing him unless the amount was significant. She recounted a text message from the plaintiff that involved a threat to have Kim arrested, prompting him to seek advice from Brian Geremia to hire a criminal attorney over concerns of potential underhanded tactics during the court deposition. The woman accused Geremia of falsely informing his client that her attorney was seeking criminal information to incriminate him. She urged the judge to investigate the alleged misconduct by Kim’s attorneys and issue an immediate order to address the matter before the estate was settled. Additionally, she requested the court to consider sanctions for legal fees if the case was considered time-barred, citing California elder laws that allow for triple damages in cases of elder financial exploitation.
