Lauryn Hill sued by stylist
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 29 September 2011
Lauryn Hill is being sued by a styling company which claims that the singer stole clothes it lent to her.
In a lawsuit filed at the LA County Superior Court and seen by TMZ, Via Davia Vintage claims that Hill was loaned “an entire wardrobe of high fashion items” for her 2007 European tour in exchange for a weekly fee for four weeks. However, the company says, Hill held onto all of the clothes for three months, kept 70% of the garments permanently and paid only a fraction of the fees due.
In July, Hill was also sued by guitarist Jay Gore, who said he was never paid for a gig he performed with her, also in 2007.
