Lindsay Lohan has been sued for $5 million by a clothing manufacturer, TMZ
reports. D.N.A.M. Apparel has filed a countersuit against LiLo in
response to the actress' $1.1 million suit, which claims that the
company licensed her 6126 trademark.
In Lohan's suit, filed in
January, the actress says that she made a deal with D.N.A.M. in 2009
that allowed the company to manufacture clothes for her 6126 clothing
line. Lohan claims the company agreed to pay her and her partner Kristi
Kaylor hundreds of thousands of dollars in exchange for D.N.A.M. to sell
her clothes internationally, but never paid up.
Now,
D.N.A.M. has responded with its own suit, claiming that by spring 2010,
it was unable to find any retailers to buy the brand because of Lohan's
troubled personal life. D.N.A.M claims that the actress' "drug-addled
image" made 6126 unsellable, and it's now suing for breach of contract
and fraud.
Kaylor denies D.N.A.M.'s claims and maintains that the
company breached their licensing agreement. "The D.N.A.M. countersuit
against 6126 is frivolous and misrepresents the facts," Kaylor tells E! News
in a statement. "D.N.A.M. knows that it is in breach of the 6126
licensee agreement, and this suit is clearly nothing more than a
transparent defense maneuver. Lindsay and I worked for over three years
to build the 6126 brand and ensure its success; D.N.A.M. is merely
trying to get out of honoring its financial obligations."
