Teutul vs Teutul Lawsuit: Ex-Husband Vs Step-Son

The feud between Paul Sr. and his son Paul Jr. boiled out after the latter was fired from the company, which aired in April 2009. Back in January 2007, Teutul Sr. had given Teutul Jr. a 20% outstanding shares of stock of the company Orange County Choppers and entered an employment agreement with a non-competition clause.

However, after Paul Jr. was off from the company, the modified contract gave the option to his father to buy the 20% stake for a fair market value. But the MPI report by Paul Sr.’s side concluded the stake value at zero and demanded his son relinquish the stake at a $0 buyout.

Then, a court ruling in April 2010 gave both parties an option of mutual agreement, or the court would conduct a valuation hearing. A month later in May 2010, Paul Teutul Jr. filed an appeal to counter the forced sales of his stock, which came into Jr.’s favor and declared the option invalid in December 2010.

The $100 million worth of lawsuit was later solved out of the court after Paul Sr. bought the 20% share of OCC, it aired an episode on August 29, 2011, in American Chopper: Senior vs. Junior. Though the agreement amount never came forth.
