As per TMZ, the actress is being sued by swimwear and lifestyle brand LA Collective for allegedly breaching her contract to model and promote their swimsuit collection. LA Collective claims it made an agreement with the Euphoria star last year that would see her becoming the face of their new line, titled Somewhere Swimwear.
According to documents obtained by TMZ, Sweeney promptly broke this agreement but wore the swimsuits on Euphoria anyway. The brand says Sweeney initially seemed to be happy with plans, but they claim her camp then suddenly cancelled the agreement with no explanation or cause given.
What LA Collective seems to find most egregious, however, is that Sweeney then allegedly appropriated their designs for her own gain, wearing the swimsuits on at least five episodes of her hit HBO series.
As they expected to make over $3 million selling swimsuits through the partnership, the brand now want Sweeney to pay up for backing out so unexpectedly. Sweeney hasn’t yet publicly commented on the lawsuit, but we’ll keep you updated with any developments.
It’s not all bad for the actress these days, with Sweeney landing a plum role in the upcoming Madame Web film off the back of her success in Euphoria. While Sweeney is reportedly in the cast for the Sony project, it’s still unclear who exactly she’ll play.
Fifty Shades of Grey star and Ellen’s nemesis Dakota Johnson will portray the titular Madame Web, a clairvoyant psychic popular in the Spider-Man comics. Take a look at our wild – but fair – speculation as to which character Sweeney could be set to play in Madame Web.
