Sued! Queen Latifah Needs To Pay Up

Filed under: Legal Matters > Queen Latifah

Queen Latifah is one cheap ass boss! And the actor/rapper/singer is getting sued over it! Not because she didn't pay her employees enough, but because she didn't pay them anything!

Both stylist Susan Moses and cosmetologist Roxanna Floyd filed separate suits yesterday in Manhattan Federal Court alleging that, together, they're owed $1 million in unpaid salaries.

The two helped work on Latifah's CoverGirl ad campaign and her Curvations line of lingerie.

According to Moses, Latifah had promised her a $50,000 yearly salary back in 2005 for her work on the Curvations line. She now claims to be owed $300,000.

Moses' attorney said that "Despite such demands and assurances as well as expressions of remorse for having stiffed plaintiff … defendants have completely failed to pay plaintiff for her services and …. expenses relating to Curvations."

As for cosmetologist Roxanna, she claims she's owed $700,000 for her work with Latifah.

So what's Queen Latifah to say about this? Nothing. Instead her spokeswoman, Amanda Silverman, called the suits "without merit."

What? No denial? Inneresting.

Sounds shady. Why would someone shilling for Covergirl have to pay privately for help? Ditto for the Curvations thing. These are corporate projects and bills should have gone to the corporations. I'm betting this is the second last post we will see on this topic, the last one being "case dismissed". If anyone cares by then.
