Gendemeh, Saquee & Associates Secure Win Over Injunction Filed by Reality TV Show Winner
By Kelvin Jay
Gendemeh, Saquee and Associates, led by Kai Joseph Saquee, has secured the dismissal of an injunction filed by House of Stars Season 2 winner, Babina Simeon, against Valentine Mark King, in a bid to halt the staging of House of Stars Season 3 scheduled for March 29, 2026.
Babina Simeon, popularly known as Lolo Simeon, had taken legal action against the producer of the show, seeking an interim injunction to stop the commencement and airing of Season 3.
The matter was heard at the Fast Track and Admiralty Court in Freetown, where the claimant’s legal team argued for an order to restrain the production of the upcoming season. However, the defence team from Gendemeh, Sa’quee and Associates represented by Joseph Kai Saquee, strongly opposed the application.
Following intense legal arguments from both sides, the presiding judge, Justice Leonard Taylor, rejected the application for injunctive relief filed by Babina Simeon.
In her application, Simeon had also sought a court order to restrain the show’s producers, Kings Empire, from requiring her to participate in promotional activities for Season 3. Her argument was anchored on Clause 5 of the contract she signed with the show’s management, which she claimed exempted her from obligations tied to subsequent seasons.
However, Justice Taylor ruled that the claimant failed to establish sufficient legal grounds for the granting of the injunction. The court found that the relief sought was not justified based on the facts and arguments presented.
The ruling effectively clears the way for House of Stars Season 3 to proceed as scheduled, while affirming that Babina Simeon remains bound by the terms of her contract, including any promotional responsibilities stipulated therein.
This decision marks another development in what has become a contentious relationship between the Season 2 winner and the show’s organisers, and adds to the growing public conversation in Sierra Leone contractual obligations, artist rights, and transparency within the entertainment industry.
