She says the viral moment provided around $12 million in brand exposure, which she is asking for her share of.
Fiji Water provided ET Canada with a statement on the case, writing, “This lawsuit is frivolous and entirely without merit. After the Golden Globes social media moment, we negotiated a generous agreement with Ms. Cuthbert that she blatantly violated. We are confident that we will prevail in Court. Throughout our history, we have had a sterling reputation working with talent.”
