Lawsuit against manager

As the process would drag on, privately, internal strife flared up again across 2008. According to Fredianelli, morale was low at the time because of the departure of Salazar, Jenkins beginning to lose interest in the band, and tensions between Jenkins and long-time friend and band manager Eric Godtland. Jenkins fired Godtland and sued him, accusing him of not paying Jenkins enough, and Godtland in turn counter-sued him, responding that the lower pay was due to lessened productivity by the band, a fault of Jenkins himself, not Godtland, and this had caused an unfair decrease in pay for Godtland himself. Fredianelli claimed that Jenkins insisted that the rest of the band join in and file lawsuits against Godtland too, threatening to abandon the band if they did not. Fredianelli, not wanting to abandon the band after all the work done on the long-awaited album, went along with Jenkins’s plan, creating a deposition against Godtland, creating friction between the two. As months passed, Fredianelli felt guilt about it, and apologized to Godtland, offering to change his deposition, then angering Jenkins in return. Jenkins’s lawsuit was eventually dismissed, and Godtland settled his case out of court. The band’s touring manager would unceremoniously quit shortly after.
