According to court documents obtained by Radar, Evans claims Bitman is simultaneously representing Chad Fitzgerald, a defendant in a separate lawsuit Evans filed against Fitzgerald and his law firm, in a pending federal appeal – while also defending Carrot Top in the bombshell case.

Evans argues the overlapping representation creates a major problem since Carrot Top's defense could eventually require his attorney to investigate Fitzgerald’s conduct or take positions that could potentially hurt Fitzgerald's interests.

The filing claims Carrot Top may need to obtain documents from Fitzgerald, subpoena or depose him, challenge his account, or attempt to place responsibility on Fitzgerald or another person for the later handling of disputed settlement documents.

Evans has also objected to Carrot Top's request to stay the proceedings and extend his deadline to respond to the lawsuit.

The legal drama has also spilled into Evans' separate lawsuit involving Creative Artists Agency and agent Steve Levine.

Evans alleges CAA and Levine retaliated against him after he reported the video-related conduct, including by withdrawing opportunities, cutting off communications, and effectively blacklisting him.

However, Evans stresses the lawsuits involve different defendants and different alleged conduct.

Evans is now asking the judge to disqualify Bitman and his firm or schedule an expedited evidentiary hearing to determine whether the alleged conflict prevents them from continuing to represent Carrot Top.
