Actress/singer Zooey Deschanel sued Steve Madden in Los Angeles Superior Court, claiming she's owed $2 million from an August endorsement deal she signed with the company.
The “500 Days of Summer” star claims her CAA agent Christian Carino negotiated an oral $2 million deal with Madden for the company to use the actress's name and likeness in connection with shoes and accessories.
When the company later tried to re-negotiate the deal down to $1.5 million, Deschanel agreed but the company allegedly never paid her.
She claims she's owed her fee plus up to 5% of profits.
