Teri Hatcher Sued Over Endorsement Deal

Monday December 17, 2007
Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher is being sued for $2.4 million over lip gloss. According to the lawsuit, Hatcher's 2005 contract to endorse Hydroderm states that she won't endorse competing products but that she violated that contract when she endorsed CityLips, made by City Cosmetics. The lawsuit says she starred in commercials wearing CityLips and saying she was a fan of the product. Hatcher's attorney, Alan Wertheimer, responded to the suit calling it an "unjustified and public assault on Teri Hatcher's good name." He says they will seek compensatory and punitive damages for "Hydroderm's outrageous accusations."

Sadly there will always be hyenas like that who will try and destroy you when you’re finally happy. I wish I had $2.4m, I’d give it to Teri so she could throw it at their faces >:(
