Roc Nation CEO Forced Her Daughter Into A Mental Institute To Break Up Her Marriage, Lawsuit Claims

Roc Nation CEO Desiree Perez is being sued by her daughter, Demoree Hadley, who claims her mother forced her into a mental institution to separate her from her husband.

The lawsuit, filed in Miami-Dade County, says Perez used Florida’s Baker Act and Marchman Act to have Hadley detained without cause. Hadley’s attorney, Hilton Napoleon II, explains the situation began in Dania Beach when Broward Sheriff’s deputies and a crisis team took Hadley into custody under the Baker Act, which allows involuntary psychiatric evaluation if someone is considered a danger to themselves or others.

The hold was authorized by Dr. Daniel Bober after a phone consultation with Perez. Bober’s attorney said, “After meeting with Ms. Hadley and speaking with her mental health provider and members of her family, the decision was made to initiate the Baker Act in order to ensure her safety… failing to take appropriate action… would have been a breach of Dr. Bober’s ethical and professional obligations.”

Hadley tested negative for dr*gs but was held under the Marchman Act at Life Skills South Florida until April 8, where she was diagnosed with persistent depressive disorder. She disputes their findings.

Hadley’s lawsuit also claims Perez made false domestic v*olence accusations against her husband, Javon Hadley. Perez denies these claims, stating her actions were motivated by concern for her daughter’s well-being.
