As proof of the wedding planners' shortcomings, Nelson Peltz attached screenshots from a group chat between the Peltz family and Nicole Braghin and Arianna Grijalba. The screenshots, shared by Seventeen, include a discussion in which Nicola Peltz questioned the planners about why Lewis Hamilton's name was on the guest list even though he declined the invitation. Grijalba replied that she hadn't learned the ropes of the new RSVP system yet, and the current guest list consisted of people who visited the link rather than just those who had accepted. 

The actor informed her planners that Lewis hadn't responded at all, and ended the texts with: "I'm tired of catching mistakes on this rsvp list honestly." The filing also read, "During their nine days of negotiations ... [They] failed to book a single new wedding vendor, failed to finalize the terms of any agreements with any of the vendors that had previously been selected by Peltz and his family," (via The Mirror). 

The couple eventually hired their third and final wedding planner, Michelle Rago, who shepherded the wedding until the end. In the complaint filing, Nelson claimed that he had to pay a premium to Rago's company because he had to hire them a month before the big day. When news of the lawsuit broke, many wondered why their first appointee, celebrity event planner Preston Bailey, dropped out. But Bailey clarified to Page Six that he walked away because he was overbooked and couldn't dedicate enough time to it.
