Kendall Jenner is currently in hot waters and is being sued for a whopping $1.8 million for failing to attend a photoshoot. The Italian brand, Liu-Jo, is suing Jenner for a contract breach.
According to BuzzFeed News, Jenner was supposed to attend two photoshoots and, in total, paid $1.5 million-plus a 20 percent service fee. The highest-paid model attended the first photoshoot in July of 2019 and was paid $1.35 million but was supposed to attend a second one in March of 2020. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, both parties agreed to postpone the photoshoot.
A spokesperson from Jenner’s modeling management gave a statement to E! News about the situation and said, “This suit is without merit. On behalf of Ms. Kendall Jenner, the Society Management has continually offered Liu Jo alternative dates and locations to fulfill an agreement that was forced to be delayed because of the coronavirus pandemic. Jenner has willingly offered to complete services honoring her commitments.”

According to the lawsuit, Liu-Jo agreed to postpone the photoshoot to October. The legal documents state, “Liu Jo proposed multiple alternative dates and locations to Ms. Jenner for the second photoshoot to occur. Ms. Jenner repeatedly failed to provide Liu Jo with definitive responses to Liu Jo’s proposals, proposed no reasonable alternatives, and ultimately turned down all of Liu Jo’s good-faith offers of compromise.”
The lawsuit declares, “Due to Ms. Jenner’s refusal to negotiate in good faith, Liu Jo was forced to find replacement models and restructure its entire Spring/Summer 2021 photoshoot [sic]—at great expense to Liu Jo due to Ms. Jenner’s refusal to uphold her end of the bargain.”
The model, which is currently the highest paying model, has yet to respond. Let us know what you think by dropping a reaction below or by tweeting us @celebsecrets.
