HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — A Florida chemist thinks Lindsay Lohan is fake.
Jennifer Sunday has filed a lawsuit against Lohan and a Nevada woman, claiming the duo stole the formula for their Sevin Nyne tanning spray from her, according to the St. Petersburg Times.
In the suit, which was filed in Tampa federal court, Sunday argues that her company, White Wave International Labs, signed a confidentiality agreement in January with Lorit Simon, a Las Vegas businesswoman who air-brushes tans for celebs.
“The next thing we know, Lorit Simon and Lindsay Lohan are partnering and Ms. Lohan is taking credit for developing this formula, which she indeed had no role in,” Sunday’s attorney, Marcia Cohen, told the Times.
Lohan and Simon launched Sevin Nyne in late April, claiming it took them three years to develop.
Sunday is now suing Lohan, Simon, and Simon’s company for breach of contract, theft of trade secrets, civil conspiracy, intentional interference with contractual relations and deceptive and unfair trade practices.
“We are certainly looking for the profits that are being generated right now from that product,” said Cohen. “If Ms. Lohan and Ms. Simon and their companies and their shareholders are profiting from the theft of my client’s formula and are profiting from that product, my client is entitled to those proceeds.”
Lohan has denied any wrongdoing since word of the lawsuit first became public.
“No formula was stolen for Sevin Nyne,” she Tweeted. “It’s a woman looking for a payday. That’s it!”
