Teri
Hatcher Responds to Lawsuit
12/6/07
Desperate
Housewives actress Teri Hatcher has hit back at the bosses of a
cosmetics firm suing her for breach of contract, insisting she complied
with all their terms.
Legal papers, filed by executives at Hydroderm skincare in Los Angeles
on Tuesday (04Dec07), claim the Desperate Housewives actress promoted
other beauty items, despite the fact she was paid $2.4 million to solely
advertise Hydroderm products.
And now angry Hatcher is responding to the suit insisting the
allegations are "totally false and completely without merit".
She insists she's the victim of the business deal because management
changes at Hydroderm constantly left her unsure of the contract.
In a statement, the actress' lawyer says, "Clearly, Hydroderm has
embarked on this unjustified and public assault on Teri Hatcher's good
name, reputation and celebrity in a transparent and pathetic effort to
distract from its own failure to live up to its end of the agreement.
"Ms. Hatcher will respond swiftly and decisively by appropriate
legal means to recover everything she is owed under her contract, as well
as compensatory and punitive damages for Hydroderm's outrageous
accusations."
