Sofia Vergara is very unhappy with a beauty brand and the Modern Family actress has expressed her displeasure by taking the company to court for using the star's face to endorse their products without paying the actress, who charges USD 15 million for such endorsements.
Vergara claimed that the brand, Venus Concept, blew up her images and used these to promote its products around the world. In the lawsuit, she said that the whole thing started with an innocent Instagram post, reports tmz.com.
The actress added that she had got Venus' Legacy treatment, a skin tightening massage, in August 2014 and she posted a photograph of herself on the table which got about 40,000 likes.
The Hot Pursuit star said that she didn't actually like the treatment and found it "a waste of time and money with little in the way of any results."
Nevertheless, she added, that the beauty brand took the opportunity of putting up photos of her at exhibition booths and on its website with captions like, "Loved by...bombshell actress Sofia Vergara."
Sofia claims that the brand never paid her anything for using her pictures.
