Katy Perry’s deal with a British hair care company is ending with a lawsuit.
The pop star claims Jemella, the firm behind the “ghd” brand for which she appeared in a series of sexy ads (see pics here), owes her $2 million based on an oral agreement meant to extend a two-year $4.5 million contract that began in 2011.
But the company claims there was no oral agreement, and says it opted not to renew Perry’s endorsement deal because market research had shown that her popularity had waned in Europe.
Jemella filed suit against Perry to block her camp from making good on its threats to sue for the $2 million, according to TMZ.
A rep for Perry says, “Jemella’s attempt to embarrass Ms. Perry by including defamatory statements about her in a public filing is shameful.”
