An
apparel manufacturer that partnered with Lohan's leggings line 6126 is firing
back at the actress' 2013 lawsuit over a licensing dispute, claiming that the
embattled star's tarnished reputation severely hampered the company's ability
to suitably peddle her clothing line to buyers.
In a
$5 million breach-of-contract counter claim filed against Lohan Friday in a
California U.S. District Court and obtained by E! News, clothing company DNAM alleges
that while the starlet's leggings line initially enjoyed some success at
department stores in 2010, buyers eventually began to pull back "because
they did not want to be associated with Lohan's drug addled image."
The
complaint states that in the spring of 2011, buyers cancelled appointments and
customers cancelled orders, noting that "no one would touch the
line." Lohan, who was in rehab at the time, was unable to endorse the
brand or provide feedback, the lawsuit alleges.
The
company claims that Lohan's legal troubles and her supposed drug and alcohol
addictions devalued the brand and it’s seeking $5 million in damages.
Kristi
Kaylor, Lohan's business partner on 6126, refutes the allegations, claiming
that it was DNAM that breached their licensing agreement.
