Pop starlet, Rihanna is currently having a lawsuit filed against her after a New York woman caught oral herpes from a free sample of her ‘RiRi Woo’ lipstick.
Starkeema Greenidge is suing the singer after being given the product at a Rihanna gig at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center earlier in May. ”This is going to happen over and over again if nothing is done,” Greenidge told reporters at the New York Daily News. ”I wasn’t able to work for two weeks. It cost me a lot of money.”
The RiRi Woo line was launched in February, in conjunction with beauty brand Mac. Rihanna also has a mens fragrance coming out in September.
