Just days after celebrating her 39th birthday, Queen Latifah is served with legal paper.
Cosmotologist Roxanna Floyd and stylist Susan Moses say they've been stiffed out of $1 million for their work on Queen Latifah's CoverGirl ad campaign, as well as for work done on her "Curvations" line of intimate apparel.
The Brooklyn women filed separate breach of contract suits yesterday in Manhattan Federal Court against Queen Latifah. Moses says Latifah promised her a $50,000-a-year salary when she went to work on the Curvations line in 2005, and is due $300,000.
"Despite such demands and assurances as well as expressions of remorse for having stiffed plaintiff ... defendants have completely failed to pay plaintiff for her services and .... expenses relating to Curvations," Moses' lawyer Carmen Giordano wrote.
Latifah spokeswoman Amanda Silverman called the suits "without merit," but declined to discuss them further.
Floyd, known as Roxie, has used her powder puff to touch up the likes of Angela Bassett, Whitney Houston and Mary J. Blige. She says she's owed $700,000.
Until last year, she was a consultant for the CoverGirl line of cosmetic products known as the "Queen Collection," the suit says.
