Shocker: Whitney Port Designs Not Her Own Creation  Whitney Port |
Reality television star Whitney Port is under the fire of lawsuit for selling other designer’s designs on her name. Adrienne Baravetto who has filed a legal suit against the star claimed that in 2007 she helped Whitney to design the line and named the brand Eve & A but she was not paid as agreed.
It is reported that she had a verbal agreement with Whitney and her father according to which Adrienne Baravetto will be paid the annual salary of $80,000 and 25% stake in the brand.
Baravetto also claimed that she has designed all the creation of Whitney Port’s brand ‘Whitney Eve’ and does not belong to the reality star.
Whitney’s lawyer, Michael Taitelman, in response to the lawsuit said:
“The lawsuit that Adrienne Baravetto filed on March 19, 2010 against Whitney Eve, Inc., Whitney Port and others regarding the Whitney Eve clothing line is baseless and without merit. Whitney Port is, and always has been, the designer of Whitney Eve. Baravetto worked for Whitney Eve for a short period of time ending in early 2008. For more than two years, she has been silent. For reasons that we will uncover, she has decided to make these unsubstantiated allegations at this time. The defendants will vigorously defend themselves, and upon the successful conclusion of this lawsuit in their favor, they intend to hold Baravetto and her counsel accountable for their reckless conduct.”
