It’s been over two years since Fyre Festival flopped, but the event’s trustee is trying to recoup whatever possible losses by suing models who promoted the music festival and musicians who were meant to headline.

Gregory Messer filed the complaints in New York’s bankruptcy court that targeted Kendall Jenner, Emily Ratajkowski, Migos, Blink-182, Lil Yachty and Pusha T, among other celebs.

Messer hopes to recover the $11.3 million paid to performers, vendors, talent agencies and other entities by the festival’s organizer, Billy McFarland — whose reckless mismanagement of the event landed him a six-year prison sentence.

In the lawsuit against Jenner, Messer noted the model was paid $275,000 for a single, now-deleted Instagram post but she failed to disclose it was a paid sponsorship to promote the music festival.

It also alleges she “intentionally led certain members of the public and ticket purchasers to believe” that Kanye West, her brother-in-law, would hit the stage because her caption referenced his music label and that “this conduct demonstrates a clear lack of good faith on Jenner’s part,” Cosmopolitan reported.

In another suit against Ratajkowski, it alleges Fyre Media paid $299,000 to her management company for social media promotion but that Ratajkowski likewise didn’t alert her followers the content was sponsored.

Separate lawsuits allege “International Creative Management was paid $350,000 for Migos, Lil Yachty and Rae Sremmund to perform, Creative Artists Agency was paid $500,000 to secure Blink-182, and Nue Agency was paid $730,000 for Pusha T, Desiigner and Tyga,” ET Canada reported.

Tickets for the days-long concert were anywhere from $500 all the way up to $100,000. The top tier tickets promised luxury accommodation, boat rides, decadent food and hangouts with models with A-list artists performing their hits.
