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.

16. 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....

18. If the worker in question were male there would be no "golddigger" insinuations. Do professional women in business not deserve the money they earned doing their jobs??

19. #4 -- you are the only racist MF I see! There were only three comments made prior to yours and you claim rascism? People like you are the racist that push this shit down others throats...get a life "brother." I'll give two cents about your Black History Month when they declare a Caucasion Brown Hair Blue Eye Half Irish Half French American History Month...how's that for racism asshole.

20. Once again, just seeing a picture of this over-hyped ghetto animal, only one question comes to mind.... How far removed is this racist talentless loudmoth from dragging his knuckles on the ground and walking on all fours while scratching himself?

If the majority of ghetto dwellers really thought about their "entertainment" perhaps I might pick up the morning paper and not see the usual ghetto activities:

1. Car jacking
2. Home Invasions
3. Murda
4. Armed robbery
5. Abuse of women
6. Smash and grab
7. Drug possession with intent to distribute
8. And on and on and on and on

21. I can't imagine why someone with his wealth would refuse to pay something that to them would be so small. It reeks of greed and selfishness. Nothing in this life is free for most people, and yet these so-called celebrities are used to getting everything given to them for nothing and then expect more for nothing. Perhaps they should simpy not be paid at all, seeing as they seem to live rather affluent lives at no cost themselves personally. It's a disgrace that anyone in his position would treat someone so disrespectfully. Shame on you Jamie Foxx, and to others pulling the same shite.

22. $3000 for what? How hard can it be to "style" his hair?

23. Boo,

Very well said. It's also a shame that someone who trusted his professionalism, and his handlers, is now in a financially precarious position over his refusal to abide by his word.

Personally, after a couple of decades in the industry, I won't travel without a deal-memo and a 50% deposit. in advance. Hopefully, she had both. If not, just being at the event and traveling will help her in court. She'll win her case, eventually.

I hope Foxx sees these comments...he's such a worm for compromising other pros this way. Not cool!!!

24. That stylist must have used tweesers. He do not have hair, thats why he feel that he should not pay. So called Big Star, pay your bills.

27. This happens all too often. These celebs think everything is for free. They get pissed if you even think to ask for what is fair. I have been screwed a bunch of times and it just sucks. You cant say too much or you wont get your next job. Good for this gal.

28. Well said mikiejoe. Those screaming the loudest about racism are ususally the racist themselves and use that as a handicap which keeps them from achieving something in their life. And..."crywolf" racism syndrome undermines the true racist ideology and actually strengthens it.
