Dr. Steve Raises Legal Defense Funds After John's Lawsuit
Dr. Steve started a GoFundMe to cover attorney fees after John sued him and Shulie for right of publicity.
The hosts referenced a GoFundMe started by Dr. Steve to cover legal costs for himself and Shulie after being sued by John for 'right of publicity.' The funds raised go directly into the attorney's account, meaning the attorney will pay taxes on that money as part of his income for the year rather than treating it as separate charitable donations. This case was used as a contrast to Chad's comedy special GoFundMe, illustrating the distinction between raising money for legal defense versus raising money for a business venture. The hosts noted that even in the legal defense case, the attorney pays taxes on the funds as income.
