The famous actress was sued in a New York court recently for breach of contract and fraud. Raymond Weil entered into an endorsement deal with Ms. Theron, for which she made several million dollars just to wear their watches and other jewelry. Allegedly, she formed other relationships with other jewelers during the term of the contract and simultaneously sported their products as well, in contravention of the contract. I took a look at the suit and I have to say that the language from the agreement itself was extremely restrictive and probably should have included language excusing her from inadvertently donning the jewels of others, likely a common problem among the elite Hollywood set....Should she have to give it all back and then some for allegedly inducing the jeweler to enter into the deal in the first place if she had no intention of construing the contract strictly. Did the public really even notice or care?
