Lawyers for late actor Nicholas Brendon are making a perplexing move as they hope to continue to litigate a breach of contract lawsuit the had been involved in at the time of his death at 54.
Brendon had been entangled in legal proceedings with Stephen Britton, an -based contractor who he had sued for more than $121,000 over a work dispute.
In legal docs reviewed by US Weekly, Brendon told the court that he was unhappy with Britton's construction work on his home in Ohio.
Britton said in legal documents filed in December of 2025 that the late actor cursed at his construction workers and tossed projectiles at them.
The workers were fearful of working in the late actor's home, Britton said in legal documents, as there were weapons such as axes often accessible.
The Daily Mail has reached out to Britton and Brendon's representative and lawyer for further comment on the story.

The contractor said in legal docs that he 'became worried for his safety and his workers’ safety' as result of the late actor's mercurial temperament.
'It's a tragedy when you lose anyone at any point,' Gellar said. 'It's a bigger tragedy when you lose someone way sooner than needs to be.'
She called Brendon 'an integral part of Buffy, and that never goes away.'
Gellar said of her late colleague's work on the series: 'I think as actors we talk a lot or think a lot about legacy.
He brought so much joy to so many people on that show, and that lives on. And that's the truth.'
