Guy Sebastian Reflects on Titus Day Legal Case: A Lesson Learned

Breaking live news today: Australian singer Guy Sebastian recently opened up about the emotional toll of his lengthy legal battle with former manager Titus Day. The case, which started in 2020, centered around allegations that Day embezzled over $600,000 from Sebastian.

The Legal Battle

• Trial Outcome: In 2022, Day was initially convicted of misappropriating funds, but the convictions were later quashed on appeal. A retrial in July 2025 resulted in Day’s acquittal on several charges, with the jury unable to reach a verdict on the remaining allegations.
• Case Dismissal: The NSW District Court dismissed the case, citing the prosecution’s decision not to pursue further charges.
