Celebrity Justice
Stylist to Jamie Foxx: You Take My Money!

Jamie FoxxOscar winner Jamie Foxx is being sued by a fashion stylist for allegedly stiffing her on her salary.

In a lawsuit filed Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, celebrity wardrobe stylist Stacy Young claims Foxx and Foxxhole Records failed to pay her for styling services rendered in 2006. Young says she was hired to work with Foxx for the BET Awards at a rate of $2,850 a day, as well as for "Miami Vice" press junkets at a rate of $3000 a day.

In the lawsuit, Young is asking for relief from the courts, but doesn't say the exact amount she is owed. Young claims she incurred "thousands of dollars in costs in connection with the services rendered," adding that she "turned down other employment offers" to work for Foxx. We ain't sayin' she's a golddigger!

A rep for Foxx could not be reached at press time.

1. He is such an ass...he presents himself in the worst way - like a thug from the hood. I hope she gets that money and I hope Jamie Foxx burns in hell!

5. It's the "little people" that make the "stars" shine. There is a special place in hell for stiffs, right next to murders, child molesters and Republicans.
AND...
"Shut up Farrah/"Party on Garth" Get the Fuc*k out!

6. Sometimes people who become very rich also become very mean, like Grace Hightower.

7. Liz, you must know Jaimie personally from what you have stated. But if you do not know him personally, then you need to check yourself. And who knows if the story is 100 percent accurate. Haven't the rest of you heard that there are two sides to every story? Jaimie has always appeared to be a nice guy in my eyes, so I do not know where you all get this hood stuff from. He is just being himself. And we all know that African Americans do things with flair, so stop hating..

11. mary poppins,
you told liz that if she didn't know him personally then she needed to "check herself"
isn't that hypocritcal of you? after all you did say:
"Jaimie has always appeared to be a nice guy in my eyes, so I do not know where you all get this hood stuff from. He is just being himself."
do you know him personally? probably not. so you really shouldn't tell someone to "check themselves" and then go on about him.

anyways, if he really does owe her money then, he should pay what he owes

12. Yawn. $3k to Jamie Foxx is like $3 to everyone else. Pay up, Jamie!

13. Jamie Foxx is an ass and I agree with Deedywee Trump-Hilton that sometimes the very rich do become mean, but it's usually the ones who have the fame who are the worst.

14. Foxx has been to busy to pay the help cause he said he's gonna be looking for Michael Richards and whoop his ass. This punk is another Marlo Thomas, Liza type, getting all tough with the hired help.

Hey Foxx you now need to go find your NBA brother, Hardaway and whoop his ass too--oh thats right when you aint doing Oprah heard you is on the down low.

15. This is how it goes when freelancers get stiffed. They either walk away from a significant financial loss (and that's not uncommon) or you stand up for yourself.

I hope Foxx feels shamed into paying this woman. She earned her wages. He looked good because of it. When you work on location you give up your entire life for the time you're gone; communication for personal business, family, friends, right to privacy, holidyas and events. You work the hours that they work. No one's worried about the last time you slept, ate, shopped for supplies, checked in on your real life. Stylists travel alone, not with an entourage. It's full of pressure and traveling gets expensive.

Pay that woman. Act like a man. No one worth a damn will work with him now....
