In August 2019, Greg K. filed a lawsuit against Holland and Wasserman following an alleged decision by the two in November 2018 to ban Kriesel from the band’s activities, including studio recordings and live performances. Holland and Noodles later sued Kriesel back, stating that “Kriesel’s arguments have no basis in fact” and that “there could be no such thing as an oral, permanent partnership, or a partnership which required two people to perform in perpetuity”. Holland and Noodles also claimed that Kriesel apparently was asked and agreed to leave the band after “differences developed between how both parties viewed the band’s present and future.” They further claimed that they attempted to “negotiate in good faith” to purchase his shares in the band and present him his part of the band’s assets and those assets included The Offspring trademark and various royalty payments. Kriesel allegedly refused that deal, suing the band instead. The case was settled out of court in 2023.
