It didn't take long for Teri Hatcher to respond to the lawsuit filed by skin care company Hydroderm, which asserted the actress had broken her contract with the company be fattening up her lips with a competitor's product.
They allege Hatcher used a City Cosmetic product, clearly breaking her agreement. The lawsuit claims she's been photographed with and promoted the CityLips lip plumper product from the City Cosmetic.
Court documents said, “Hatcher’s name, image and likeness have been linked to so many competitors’ products (at least 17!) that it is anyone’s guess as to what product keeps her skin and lips youthful.”
Hydroderm is looking to get its $2.4 million back they paid to Hatcher, plus another $400,000 for expenses they also paid.
Hatcher responded through her lawyers saying:
"The allegations of this lawsuit are totally false and completely without merit. Despite having to deal with a frustrating series of changes in the ownership and management of Hydroderm over the last several years, Teri Hatcher has more than fully complied with all of her contractual obligations over the course of the relationship.
"Clearly, Hydroderm has embarked on this unjustified and public assault on Teri Hatcher's name, reputation and celebrity in a transparent 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; however, she will not litigate this matter in the press, as Hydroderm apparently seeks to do."
