Florence Mirsky Said She And Storch Are In Fear For Their Lives
The girlfriend of hip-hop producer Scott Storch said the heads of her man’s former record label threatened to enlist a “mafia hit man” to rub them out.
“The Cohens threatened to have a ‘mafia hit man’ kill Scott Storch and/or myself,” Florence Mirsky said in court papers obtained by BOSSIP. “Therefore, we flew to Los Angeles to be with our family, where we felt we were safe.”
Mirsky said Storch’s former business partners, Brad and Seth Cohen, began threatening them after Storch balked at signing a contract with the Cohens because Storch believed it was a bad deal. She said the label execs first blackmailed Storch, warning him that if he didn’t sign, they’d have him evicted that day and seize his Rolls Royce.
“Scott Storch told me the plaintiffs Seth Cohen and Brad Cohen threatened to have him evicted from his home that evening and threatened to take away his car, leaving him stranded and in the street if he did not immediately sign the November 2015 operating agreement,” Mirsky said in a deposition as part of the Cohen brothers’ fraud and breach of contract case against her and Storch.
“He stated to me that he had no opportunity to show it to an attorney and the Cohens threatened him physically if he didn’t not sign it the moment it was presented to him.”
Storch signed the deal in November 2015, and Mirsky said the Cohens then threatened to have them killed, prompting the couple to flee from Florida to the West Coast, according to her deposition.
“I am Scott Storch’s girlfriend,” Mirky said, according to court docs. “I love and support him. So generally, in that capacity, we discussed the manner in which the Cohens had threatened and abused him and taken advantage of him.”
According to court documents, the Cohen brothers said they agreed to help Storch make a comeback by forming a company, CCS Music Group, where Storch would produce music and the Cohens would own and sell it.
But they said Storch has backed out of the deal, and they want Storch back producing for them full time, more than $4 million in damages and an injunction barring Storch from working with Mirsky.
Under the terms of Storch’s contract with the Cohens, Storch agreed to transfer his music publishing rights and let the company use his name and likeness to promote the music.
The brothers said they sunk more than $1 million into the company and paid Storch’s rent and a weekly salary. The Cohens also leased a Rolls Royce Ghost for Storch and the men agreed that the car would be taken away if Storch failed a drug test.
The Cohen brothers said in court papers that they only demanded the Rolls Royce back when they discovered Storch was allegedly using drugs again. When the men confronted Storch, they said he told them he wasn’t going to work with them anymore, and instead began making music with Mirsky. Storch’s lawyer later fired off a letter to CCS Music, banning the company from accessing the music Storch made or even communicating with him.
A judge has yet to rule on the case.
