'Teri Hatcher is the new face of Clairol.' ... and several others apparently. Wait, who knew Teri Hatcher even had a lip gloss endorsement contract?
Hydroderm skincare is suing the Desperate Housewife star for allegedly promoting other beauty products, despite the fact she was paid $2.4 million to advertise Hydroderm's stuff exclusively.
The lawsuit reads: "Hatcher's name, image and likeness have been linked to so many competitors' products that it is anyone's guess as to what product keeps her skin and lips youthful."
According to DailyNews.com:
According to the suit, Hatcher and Hydroderm entered into a contract in November 2005 to use her services to promote the company’s products. Despite the agreement’s anti-competition clause, Hatcher endorsed City Cosmetics products before and after the Hydroderm agreement was signed by posing for photos, agreeing to be interviewed about the competitor’s products and identifying herself as a fan of what they sell, according to the suit. One of the items Hatcher endorsed was a City Cosmetics lip plumper that directly competes with Hydroderm’s lip enhancer, the suit alleges.
Hydroderm wants Teri to pucker up and pay back $2.4 million, in addition to unspecified damages and legal costs.
