Accessory Faux Pas May Cost Theron $20M

Actress faces lawsuit over wristwatch

Share

(Newser) – A federal lawsuit against Charlize Theron for breaching an endorsement contract will proceed, People reports. Raymond Weil is seeking the return of “substantial funds”—a reported $20 million—paid to the actress to wear its watches exclusively from 2005 to 2006. But Theron also had a deal with Christian Dior perfume and was photographed at a press event wearing a Dior watch.
