The Snapple Lady No More

Filed under: Media Minute

Quirky New Yorker Wendy Kaufman is officially the ex-Snapple Lady, according to reports.

Kaufman was not feeling the new contract Snapple offered her and said adios!

The contract would have paid her for appearances without a promise that any would materialize, she said.

The ex-brandwhore stated, "I just couldn't accept the contract because it was so one-sided and worth nothing. It was an appearance contract based on whenever they felt like calling. I know they weren't calling me."

An exec tells Snapple's side of the story. He says, "The truth is, we offered her a fair contract for work performed instead of a guaranteed fee. It was her decision not to stay with Snapple and we respect that. We wish her nothing but the best in whatever she does in the future."

Kaufman's not crying at home, though. She's moved on to doing Motorola voiceover work.

And, there's always a career in porn!

      Old news my friend. Neal Cavuto interviewed her a week ago about this issue. Maybe you should watch real news instead of E.T. and the Insider.

      It would be wise for a competing drink brand (Arizona?) to hire her to say how Snapple sucks.

      Inside Edition talked about this shit two weeks ago Perez…

      There is so much more to this story and you just refuse to do enough work to tell the story properly. Shame on you Perez. This story actually broke over a week ago with an interview by Wendy on FOX News - how upset and embarrassed she was when they (Snapple) didn't even have the balls to talk to her about it. She found out through third party sources. She had that job for 19 years??! How shitty of them to treat their spokesperson so shabbily. Whatever their reason for letting her go, it speaks volumes as a company to treat your people that badly. And now you won't even tell her story properly. Well, we know you "care" Perez. HA! NOT!

      She was a great spokesperson for the company.. SNAPPLE SUCKS!!!!!

      33

      Why would they call her? If i was doing the marketing for snapple I wouldn't call a middle aged, over weight, unattractive woman to sell my product.
      If I was doing it for Jenny Craig….maybe I would call her.

    34. Dro says – reply to this


      34

      Why you hating Perez? At least she got the gig on her own and not by talking shit about other people.

      Nobody wants your obeses ass in Snapple ads, lady. You were a short-lived would-be fad. Meant to be in a few commercials for ONE short time in your life. If you thought you'd be the next Dave Thomas/Wendy's 3 decade spokesperson, then you must have shit for brains!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahahahaha

      Considering that she used to be the receptionist at the Snapple home office years ago I think she's doing alright.

      46

      Love her. She was really sweet on Celeb Fit Club. I wish her only the best.

      And those snapple aholes did that on purpose, that was their way of letting her walk without being the one to make the move. Sorta like a lame boyfriend. good for her for leaving!!

      I see she couldn't stick to her exercise and diet regime from "Celebrity Fit Club". Typical lazy, fat-ass.

      TO THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE SO DISGUSTINGLY DISRESPECTFUL AND YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE…SHAME ON ALL OF YOU!!! HOW DARE YOU TRASH THIS AMAZING, HARD WORKING, DEDICATED AND LOYAL SOUL!!!! I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT YOU GUYS LOOK LIKE AND WHERE YOU COME FROM YOU PATHETIC BUNCH OF LOW-LIVES OR BETTER YET IF YOU CAN COMMENT IN SUCH A HORRIFIC WAY, NO-LIVES!!! I am very fortunate and proud to have been one of the many friends who grew up with her. Wendy was an awesome asset in pioneering Snapple and worked extremely hard to make that company what it is today. She appealed to all walks of life with her genuine warmth and kindness and just because she is a celebrity and always will be, never made anyone feel less than she. Her humor is infectious, she's incredibly smart and she 'KEEPS IT REAL"!!! I agree that Snapple is a has been. Anyone who commented on this that thinks they know the "Real Story" has no idea what they're talking about. Snapple was brutal and Wendy didn't deserve it. I'm going to end this by saying "if you knew her the way we do, you would never have said such nasty, hurtful things…quite the contrary". We all should have been so lucky as to have had the opportunities and wonderful life that she's worked tirelessly for.

      57

      she was on some show a couple months ago talking about that. why wouldn't she just take the contract? something is better than nothing. she said they were trying to cut costs which makes sense. she wouldn't say how much she was making. why are people so greedy? if you don't want to sign the contract just walk away instead of crying on national television. i am sure she was overpaid anyway.

      wow fuck all of you this is so ridiculous. i am lucky enough to know her and she is one of the nicest, most sincere people i have met in my entire life. she is one of my family's greatest friends and she would never talk shit about anyone in the way all of you are. perez, honestly i am disappointed in you. you're fucking fat yourself, and you're just giving in to all the hollywood bullshit. everyone grow a pair and worry about your own weight and your own issues. and perez start talking about things you actually know the whole story behind.
