The complaint, lodged late on Monday in U.S.
District Court in Manhattan, states that Jenner only took part
in the first of two planned photoshoots but never turned up for
the second one, which had originally been due to take place in
March 2020 but was delayed because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Liu Jo is seeking at least $1.8 million in damages, according to
the complaint.
Liu Jo, which the complaint says has already paid $1.35 million
to Jenner for services covered by the 2019 contract, said it
tried to re-schedule the second photoshoot multiple times but
obtained no response from Jenner. Liu Jo said it later failed to
obtain a refund of its payments to the model.
Reuters was unable to immediately contact Jenner, 25, one of the
world's top-earning models who rose to fame in the reality
television show "Keeping Up with the Kardashians".
Her agents, The Society Model Management, and parent company
Elite World Group, did not immediately respond to a request for
comment. A public relations company representing Liu Jo was also
not immediately available for comment.
