Jets LB Haason Reddick allegedly cheated business partner for $1,600,000, sent threats from 'black-gloved men': Report
New York Jets holdout Haason Reddick has made headlines recently, but not for the reasons fans might expect. According to The New York Post, Reddick allegedly stiffed his business partner Micah Khan for $1.6 million. Khan has filed a lawsuit against Reddick, which involves some serious allegations.
In 2018, Haason Reddick purchased Haven Home Health Agency and handed it over to his father Raymond Matthews and stepmother Tia Wright to run it. By 2021, the company was "failing" and that's when Reddick hired Micah Khan, who also owns Kingdom Health Service, to handle the business development and marketing department.
At the time of his hiring, Khan signed an agreement with Reddick stating he would receive half of the income from proceedings if the health-care investor succeeded in selling the company. In April earlier this year, Khan sold Haven Home Health Agency to MNH Pa. Home Care Acquisitions for a sum of $3.25 million.
So according to Khan's agreement with Haason Reddick, he was supposed to receive around $1.6 million from the sale. However, in Khan's lawsuit, he made it clear that Reddick refused to pay him the money. Apart from that, Khan was allegedly threatened by Reddick's father.
"Mr. Matthews brought over more than a dozen black-gloved men to a business meeting, claiming they were 'Haason’s personal security.’ It was at this post-sale meeting that Mr. Matthews made it clear [they] intended to breach their payment obligations to Kingdom,” Khan said in court papers.
Hasson Reddick was traded to the New York Jets from the Philadelphia Eagles in March. However, the linebacker hasn't played a game yet. If the Jets keep him on holdout, Reddick could potentially lose around $21.75 million in NFL earnings, according to NewYorkPost.
