In a new report, Daryl Hall has filed a lawsuit and restraining order against his longtime musical collaborator John Oates, and fans are shocked.
One of the greatest bands of all time, Hall & Oates gave pop music some of its greatest songs ever. From “Rich Girl” and “Maneater” to “Private Eyes” and “Out of Touch,” this duo knows how to throw a hook and get the body moving.
Over the years, the duo continued to collaborate and often perform solo, venturing into exploring their own muses.
However, their bitter feud is almost as legendary as their biggest hits. Things seem to have gone even further south with the latest development.

Daryl Hall filed suit and restraining order against John Oates
According to TMZ, Daryl Hall has filed a lawsuit claiming his collaborator John Oates breached their contract. Furthermore, Hall filed a restraining order against Oates.
It’s unclear what the lawsuit involves, although many speculate that it could be related to royalties or some other general provision or why the injunction is necessary.
On November 22, fans quickly took to Twitter/X to express their disappointment, anger, and confusion.
“This Hall & Oates rift changes everything,” one fan wrote.
“Hall & Oates are fighting?” Another person posted and shared a video clip with the words “I beg you, please stop!”
“Smh Hall & Oates couldn’t have done better because they gave us bangers,” one user lamented, accompanied by a video performing “Rich Girl.”
Another wondered which side to take and wrote, “Let me figure out which side I’m on in this Hall & Oates mess.”
“Well, I guess the next Hall & Oates tour is on,” one fan joked with a photo of “just oats” on the oatmeal container.
They wrote that Dee Phunk took the opportunity to remind other fans that the iconic duo has been “strengthening for years.” “But reaching the ban level is new. Sadly, there is basically no hope here.”
Bertha Coombs quipped: “Someone take a paddle and fix the stab in my 80s-loving heart.” “@KellyCNBC is too young to know who Hall & Oates are… there must be a cannibal joke somewhere.”
Another fan still couldn’t get over their surprise as they wrote, “What the hell is this world going to be like when Hall & Oates can’t even get along. Let’s enjoy this epic photo and think about better times.”
Many fans also made “Out of Touch” jokes.
As of this writing, all the specifics surrounding the lawsuit and the ban are still unknown.
