Beyonce Wins Again

Beyonce has won a lawsuit filed against her and her mom for failing to settle up on a merchandsing deal. Can we officially call Beyonce the “Teflon Diva” yet? This woman can stiff anyone and get away with it.

From The New York Daily News:

Greg Walker had sued the covergirl of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue for allegedly shortchanging him on a $15 million licensing deal he brokered with a clothing line.

But Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Herman Kahn found that Walker, the CEO of Icon Entertainment, never had a valid contract with Beyoncé and her mother, Tina Knowles.

Walker had accused Beyoncé of failing to pay him a penny after he arranged in 2003 to line up endorsement deals for the superstar singer.

So I’m guessing this guy has learned that a hug and a “sure I’ll pay you, sweetie” doesn’t count as a valid contract. But really he should have known better. This is Beyonce after all and that girl does not like to part with her pennies.
