The singer has been instructed to pay Monika Bass Cavalera $13,000 (£8600) for comments made about her in his 2013 book My Bloody Roots: From Sepultura To Soulfly And Beyond.

Monika is the ex wife of Max's brother Igor, and in his book, Max called her "a bitch" and suggested she tried to hit on him before eventually hooking up with his brother.
