\n\tRBD\u2018s five members \u2014 Maite Perroni, Christian Ch\u00e1vez and Christopher von Uckermann \u2014 announced on Friday (Oct. 4) that \u201cthe matter has concluded.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tRosas and RBD parted ways in January after the Mexican band\u2019s ultra-successful Soy Rebelde World Tour. In May, RBD revealed in a statement issued by its lawyers that there were \u201csignificant irregularities\u201d revealed in a forensic accounting investigation led by Critin Cooperman \u2014 a services firm that acted as a business manager for the tour and had also conducted a financial audit.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a statement shared on Friday (Oct. 4) \u2014 known to fans as World RBD Day \u2014 Perroni, Ch\u00e1vez and von Uckermann wrote: \u201cAs set forth in the final agreement, T6H, through its owner Guillermo Rosas, was claiming that Guillermo\u2019s company was entitled to $10,072,811.00 in connection with Guillermo and his company\u2019s management of RBD\u2019s live performance tour in the U.S., Mexico, Brazil and Colombia. Following our filing of a complaint against Guillermo and his company in both Federal Court and with the California Labor Commissioner, in addition to a thorough audit we commissioned, T6H agreed as part of the final settlement agreement to accept the sum of $4,723,591.00, an amount which is $5,349,220.00 less than what Guillermo was claiming to be owed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tNotably, RBD\u2019s other two members, Anah\u00ed and Dulce Mar\u00eda, did not sign on to the letter. An RBD representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment on their absence.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn December, RBD wrapped its massive world tour, which as of Nov. 30\u00a0had\u00a0grossed $197.1 million\u00a0since launching in August. Rosas also worked with the band as a concert promoter from 2006 to 2008. Under a\u00a0new business model\u00a0designed for RBD\u2019s comeback tour, the group\u2019s first trek in 15 years,\u00a0the five members and Rosas were deemed equal partners in a new joint venture, splitting all new revenue, including for music.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe statement continues: \u201cThis is why we made the decision to take action in this situation. We felt a responsibility to address the challenges that can arise in the industry, with our priority being the protection of artists rights. This is a reminder for young artists to have the courage to stand up for themselves and demand respect. We are very satisfied with the outcome of our action and will continue to advocate for justice and respect in the artistic world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBillboard <\/em>reached out to Guillermo Rosas but had not heard back at press time. <\/p>\n
