Sean has been ordered to pay up after ignoring court proceedings...

From In Touch

According to court documents obtained by In Touch, Sean, 34, was hit with the default judgment on Tuesday, August 27, in favor of a jewelry company named Dream Watch. In court documents, Dream Watch demanded $1,054,107 in damages from the singer. Dream Watch said the singer reached out to them in 2022 about purchasing 2 watches. The two that he was interested in were a Richard Mille Model RM 65.01 Automatic and a Patek Philippe Calibre.

The company claimed Sean agreed to pay $534,000 for the Richard Mille watch and $378,000 or the Patek Philippe watch. A representative for Dream Watch flew from Malaysia to Sean’s home in Los Angeles in May 2022 to complete the deal.

According to the suit, during the meeting, Sean “inspected” the watches and agreed to purchase them for a total of $912,000.

Dream Watch said Kingston took possession of the watches and agreed to send a wire payment.

The suit said the payment never arrived and Sean continued to give them the run around.

"Kingston represented his initial wire attempt was rejected because it was flagged by his bank due to the large amount being wired overseas,” the suit read. “Thereafter, Kingston represented his account was frozen due to the initial wire attempt, amongst other excuses which persisted for over three months until Kingston stopped responding to Plaintiff entirely. Ultimately, the agreed upon funds were never sent, and Defendants continue to refuse to render payment as agreed. Defendant Kingston continues to possess the two watches.”
