Roc Nation chief executive Desiree Perez has filed a sanctions motion in federal court against her daughter Demoree Hadley, with the June 18, 2026 filing including a detailed analysis that names 27 X accounts followed by the younger woman and active in public discussion of their family dispute.
The motion, submitted in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida under case number 1:25-cv-22162-BB before Judge Beth Bloom, asks the judge to impose penalties that could include dismissal of Demoree Hadley’s claims, deactivation of social media accounts, contempt findings, and payment of legal fees. It builds directly on a prior court order restricting extrajudicial statements by the parties. An attached report prepared by FTI Consulting examined accounts followed by Demoree Hadley and concluded that many had posted extensively about the litigation since June 2025, generating what the filing describes as concentrated online activity around the case.
The underlying lawsuit began in May 2025 when Demoree Hadley sued her mother, alleging that Desiree Perez used her influence and connections to orchestrate an involuntary psychiatric commitment under Florida’s Baker Act and Marchman Act. According to NBC6 Investigates, Hadley claims she spent nearly two weeks in mental health institutions despite negative drug tests. She also alleges Perez interfered in her daughter’s marriage by making false domestic violence accusations against husband Javon Hadley. Those accusations against Javon were later declined by prosecutors in some instances. Desiree Perez has consistently denied the allegations and maintains a consolidated action against her son-in-law.
The case gained significant public attention in 2025 when rapper Nicki Minaj publicly supported Demoree Hadley through social media posts and the #JusticeForDemoree campaign. Minaj highlighted the allegations against Desiree Perez and Roc Nation, drawing widespread engagement from her fanbase known as the Barbz. Court documents in the new sanctions motion note that many of the X accounts under scrutiny also cover other high-profile legal matters, including those involving Tory Lanez, creating what the filing calls overlapping online communities. Nicki Minaj’s involvement stems from her decision to amplify Demoree’s story publicly last year, which encouraged fan accounts and independent commentators to post about court filings and related claims. This activity is now cited by the Perez side as contributing to the alleged violation of the court’s earlier order on public statements.
Desiree Perez filed the sanctions motion to enforce compliance with the existing judicial directive against extrajudicial statements and to protect the integrity of the upcoming trial, currently scheduled for later in 2026. The filing argues that continued social media activity by the Hadleys and connected accounts risks prejudicing potential jurors and amounts to an improper campaign to shape public opinion. FTI Consulting’s analysis focused on posting patterns, timing, and follower relationships rather than proving direct instructions or payments in every instance. The Perez legal team maintains that the volume and focus of posts justify additional sanctions beyond what was previously ordered.
The FTI Consulting report specifically identifies the following 27 X accounts that were followed by Demoree Hadley and had posted content about the case after June 25, 2025:

Many of these accounts operate within music and celebrity commentary circles, with some frequently discussing artists such as Nicki Minaj and overlapping topics that include Tory Lanez legal developments. Several of the named accounts have already responded publicly, stating they have never been paid by or coordinated directly with Demoree Hadley and that their posts represent independent commentary on publicly available court records.
Beyond the core family members, the litigation involves additional parties. Javon Hadley, Demoree’s husband, faces claims in the consolidated case brought by Desiree Perez and others alleging abuse and related conduct. Demoree Hadley is represented by attorney Hilton Napoleon II. Desiree Perez’s legal team includes attorneys from Weiss Serota Helfman Pastoriza. The original complaint named additional defendants including Roc Nation itself, psychiatrist Daniel Bober, and other individuals and entities accused of participating in the alleged events surrounding the psychiatric hold. An independent consulting firm, FTI Consulting, prepared the social media analysis submitted with the latest motion.
Roc Nation, the entertainment and sports agency co-founded by Desiree Perez and Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter, remains connected to the case through its leadership and prior court references, though the core dispute centers on the personal and family allegations between mother and daughter.
Demoree Hadley’s response to the sanctions motion is due around July 2, 2026. The court will then decide whether the activity described rises to the level of sanctionable conduct or falls under protected speech regarding public court documents. Possible outcomes range from denial of the motion to significant penalties, including dismissal of some or all of Demoree Hadley’s claims, financial sanctions, or orders requiring removal of online content. A ruling in favor of the Perez side could also set precedent for how parties in high-profile cases attempt to limit online discussion. The broader trial remains scheduled for later this year, and any sanctions could influence trial strategy or settlement discussions. The case continues to highlight tensions between judicial efforts to control publicity and the reality of widespread social media commentary on public legal proceedings involving prominent figures in the entertainment industry.
