AOC's 'Tax the Rich' dress designer hit with seven-figure lawsuit accusing her of stiffing a small business that organized her charity gala. The suit alleges Aurora James and her Fifteen Percent Pledge nonprofit stopped paying event planners after just two deposits on a $1.5 million bill — even as James personally approved change orders expanding the event's scope and cost. The gala, held at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles with attendees including Meghan Markle, was meant to raise money for Black business owners.
