Jamie Foxx Settles Suit With Stylist 6/1308
Actor Jamie Foxx has reached a settlement with a disgruntled fashion
stylist who was allegedly left unpaid after dressing the star for
several high-profile celebrity events.
Freelance celebrity stylist Stacy Young filed her lawsuit against Foxx
and his Foxxhole Records label in Los Angeles Superior Court in April
(08).
She claims The Kingdom star never paid up after she picked his wardrobe
for the BET Awards in June 2006 and then again in July of the same year
for a series of publicity events for his film Miami Vice.
Foxx's legal team denied the initial claims, insisting it was movie
giant Universal Studios, not the star, who hired Young to style Foxx for
his Miami Vice promotional work.
But, according to the complaint made by Young, Foxx had agreed to pay
her $2,850 (£1,425)-a-day to dress him for the awards show and then a
further $3,000 (£1,500)-a-day for what the court documents refer to as
the "Miami Vice agreement".
However, the pair seem to have come to a resolution, with a settlement
being reached in Los Angeles on Wednesday (11Jun08) for an undisclosed
amount. Young's lawyers state they are "pleased" with the agreed
settlement, according to online reports. Foxx's representative was
unavailable for comment as WENN goes to press.
