Joe Perez receives public apology from Hangar 9 event organizers
After lengthy litigation, Joe Perez and the attendees of the troubled 2014 Hangar 9 New Year’s Eve Event have received a written apology from organizers Michelle Sedighi and Sundee Pickering.
A copy of the notarized apology letter is attached.
In his lawsuit against Sedighi and Pickering, the former Kansas City Chiefs football player received no monetary compensation.
Originally, Perez contracted Sedighi and Pickering to assist him in planning the 2014 NYE Event. During litigation, details emerged regarding a second contract between Sedighi, Pickering and the National Airline History Museum that Perez was unaware of. This agreement, executed after the women’s original contract with Perez, contradicted Sedighi and Pickering’s obligations to Perez, turned the event into a fundraiser for the Museum and provided compensation only to Sedighi and Pickering, with all remaining proceeds benefiting the Museum. This second contract was kept intentionally from Perez in order to continue to utilize his resources, vendors and marketing expertise.
In the week prior to the event...
Perez was cut off from final logistical planning, denied access to the venue for set-up and asked specifically by John Roper (Director of the National Airline History Museum) to not attend the event that evening. Immediately, Perez desperately began seeking answers from all parties, which chronologically spilled over into the event aftermath.
Perez was not compensated in any way for the 2014 Hangar 9 New Year’s Eve Event, nor did he have access to funds from the event, which prevented him from providing not only answers, but, more importantly, refunds to displeased patrons. Sedighi and Pickering were the sole signers on all bank accounts pertaining to the event and were paid in full from the event proceeds as agreed to with the Museum.
Perez is not available for comment at this time. He provided this statement:
“My goal in pursuing legal action was to bring the truth to light and provide answers to those affected by the unfortunate events of that evening. Since the day this happened, I have felt an overwhelming sense of obligation to fulfill my responsibility to the attendees by providing an understanding of what transpired that night. I realize this doesn’t erase what happened or minimize the impact of those negatively affected by the evening and its aftermath. I hope this provides some answers that, regretfully, I could not provide at the time due to issues that were out of my control.”

Hanger 9 started out as a great concept. It was always doomed to more "drama" though given some of the people who were involved.
ReplyDeleteGood for him. Guy took a beating in the media about it and he didn't really defend himself in the press. I guess eventually he had to address the subject.
Deletenight life fights are the worst. In KC they get exceptionally mean and out of control if somebody doesn't put their foot down. And I guess it takes a while to sort out what really happened.
DeleteEven more interesting then this meaningless garbage is Obama's home state of Illinois is about to go bankrupt.
ReplyDeleteWho cares?
ReplyDeleteLet the elite piss on each other.
I care, I still haven't got my coat back. Now I know who I need to ask.
DeleteIt was a $500 coat.
#stillpissed
Appears, organizers Michelle Sedighi and Sundee Pickering , were on the take and totally clueless how to actually organize anything !
ReplyDeleteWho the fuck are these people? Do we need to deport Joe Perez? Good.
ReplyDeleteThese sound like the kind of organizers that need to get involved in the hotel project and streetcar extension.
ReplyDeleteDo Sly and Mike have their cell numbers?
Joe Perez is a washed up, d-list, douche who only made the practice squad when he was with the Chiefs. He spends every weekend walking around Power and Light hammered bragging about how he was a Chiefs player. Bottle service at Mosaic is is way of attracting bleach blonde 50 somethings who spend too much time in the tanning booth. If he gets you back to his apartment, he will beat them in a drunken rage and then offer them tables at Mosaic and Aura to make up for it.
ReplyDeleteThis guy should rank pretty high in KCs douchiest people.
Douche for sure
ReplyDeleteWhen's that closet homo going to come out?
ReplyDeleteI saw him get kicked out of P&L a while back by the police for fighting. He kept yelling at the police and asking them if they knew who he was? They said they didn't and it didn't matter. He stormed off pouting and I may have seen a tear
ReplyDelete^^^^ Sounds like somebody is really jealous and they're home alone and bitter about it. It's okay wildman. You matter and you're a good person deep inside. Never forget that, you don't have to write on a blog in order to get validation. I'm sure there are people still care about you and enjoy your company. Have you tried Facebook? Maybe there are new friends for you to make there.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
ReplyDeletesad if you have to go out on NYE and pay to party with strangers --
whatever happened to getting together with friends?
