Looks like Rihanna should consider changing the name of her MAC lipstick to ‘Woo! Herpes!’ if this new lawsuit is to be believed.
A woman named Starkeema Greenidge is suing the cosmetics company alleging that a particular tube of RiRi’s lipstick gave her herpes. Greenidge was at the singer’s concert at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn when she decided to visit the MAC pop-up shop that was shilling Rihanna’s line of makeup. Starkeema alleges that a MAC rep applied a layer of RiRi Woo to her smackers, which lead to the development of some, uh, unsightly bumps.
Greenidge, who is a waitress, told the New York Daily News, “I wasn’t able to work for two weeks. It cost me a lot of money.” Now that ain’t cool.
The 28-year-old alleges in her suit that she suffered, “mental anguish and emotional distress” as a result of the episode. Greenidge also hopes her episode forces the cosmetics company to re-evaluate their practices in the future, saying MAC should train employees to use disposable tubes or swabs. Honestly, we’re kind of shocked they weren’t doing that in the first place!
