While Jelena spent the last few weeks fixing some things on the court, it seems that she managed to find some time to fix things off the court.
On January 3rd, Jelena filed a lawsuit with the Hillsborough County, against Octagon Marketing and Athlete Representation. Although all details are unclear, Octagon is accused of witholding money from Jelena, while improperly taking fees. Jelena is also angered that Octagon continues to take part in her private negotiations without her permission.
The 2nd youngest athlete ever signed by Octagon at just 14 years old, Jelena and Octagon have had a seemingly happy relationship with the occasional disagreement. Jelena is unhappy at a contract drawn up when Jelena was 16, which Damir and Lilijana signed as Jelena was a minor.
Jelena argues that she is unhappy with the treatment she has received from Octagon and that her and her parents didn’t fully know the extent of the contract that was signed. Arguing that Octagon has breached it’s contract, Jelena has declined to re-sign with the company, instead choosing to be represented independently.
Jelena’s lawyers have advised her to remain tight lipped on the issue however it seems that the termination of her contract with Octagon will give her some closure on the controversies that have surrounded Jelena off the court.
