In his deposition, Ringo Starr called Paul McCartney, who brought the suit, "a spoiled child" and described a row about the release date of the Beatles album Let It Be and that of the solo album, McCartney. "To my dismay, he went completely out of control," said Ringo, "shouting at me, pointing his finger toward my face, shouting 'I'll finish you now!' and 'You'll pay!'
