Sketchers Is Being Sued Again



Skechers is back in legal hot water again — and this time it't with their own models, not for ripping off another company’s shoe. Why? You may ask, are models suing the brand? In an economy like this, should we look further? For not paying them as much money as it should have for appearing in one of the brand’s campaigns.

A group of 11 models accused Skechers of not paying them proportionally to how extensively their images were used to promote the brand. According to Women’s Wear Daily, Charles Davis, Angela Meng, Paisley McCollum, Daniel Liu, Chanel Celaya, Kathy Gardiner, Samantha Rex, Tracy Long Stover, Talesha Byrd, Sean Myrie and Marielle Jaffe all claim Skechers paid them for small-scale work and used the resulting images for large-scale marketing. And now they’re suing for $10 million in damages.
