Latifah sued by make up artist and stylist
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 2 April 2009
Queen Latifah is being sued by a make up artist, and in a separate case by a fashion stylist, for a total of $1million in alleged unpaid fees.
The make-up artist, Roxanna Floyd, claims that Latifah, aka Dana Owens, owes her $700,000 for work completed between July 2005 and February 2008, work which included helping the star develop, produce and market her Queen Collection range of cosmetics for CoverGirl.
The stylist, Susan Moses, says that she is owed $300,000, claiming that Owens had promised her a $50k a year salary for advising her in her role as spokeswoman and model for a line of lingerie.
Papers for both cases were filed on Monday in Manhattan. Latifah’s people claim that neither case has any legal merit.
