Hatebreed and its frontman Jamey Jasta say founding bassist Chris Beattie has no legal basis to sue over his ouster from the metalcore band last year.

Beattie brought a lawsuit against Hatebreed and Jasta (James Shanahan) this summer, claiming he had been unfairly kicked out of the band after 30 years. The bassist said Jasta made up a phony story about him harassing a security guard to justify the ouster, when really Jasta wanted to take home a larger share of Hatebreed’s profits.
