Sydney social media sensation and OnlyFans star Paris Ow-Yang could be entangled in a legal battle over compensation for damage to a Mercedes van she crashed.
The owner of the van claims she owes $150,000 to cover damages inflicted during Ow-Yang’s drunken crash in Sydney’s east last October.
Legal representatives of the owner, businessman Adam Troost, have taken action by sending a draft statement of claim to Ow-Yang, The Daily Telegraph reports.
However, they expressed frustration as the 18-year-old influencer has allegedly not paid up.
Mr Troost’s lawyer, Ben Horne, said attempts had been made to reach an amicable resolution, telling the masthead: “Mr Troost has tried to be nice.”
“At Ms Ow-Yang’s hearing, she indicated she would pay to make good the damage caused,” he added.
“That appears not to be happening and has made it difficult to negotiate a simple solution.”
Ow-Yang, found to have a blood-alcohol level of 0.213 during the incident, remains willing to settle but disputes the amount of $150,000.
Her legal counsel, Michael Bowe, clarified: “We asked for a valuation (of the damaged vehicle), and that figure was $90,000 which my client is ready, willing and able to pay.”
The dispute escalates as Mr Troost’s claim encompasses costs for a hired car until he can secure an identical replacement vehicle, which is expected in June.
Notably, his damaged Mercedes was uninsured at the time of the incident.
Ow-Yang’s crash occurred after nine hours of drinking, coping with a recent break-up with millionaire nightclub proprietor Julian Tobias.
Despite the legal turmoil, the influencer swiftly transitioned to posting Instagram updates from Los Angeles, where she embarked on a holiday before her court case.
The legal aftermath saw Ow-Yang convicted and sentenced to a two-year Community Corrections Order, a nine-month driving disqualification, and the mandatory installation of a 24-month interlock.
Additionally, she was fined $1000 for the offences related to the incident.
