According to a lawsuit filed by the skincare company Hydroderm, "Teri Hatcher has violated the terms of an endorsement contract". Hydroderm claims that the "The Desperate Housewives" actress signed an "exclusive endorsement deal" in 2005 but has been promoting rival products".

 

A company's representative told the press, "Hatcher's name, image and likeness have been linked to so many competitors' products that it is anyone's guess as to what product keeps her skin and lips youthful".

 

Believe it or not the cosmetic company is seeking a full refund of their $2.4 million contract plus $400,000 in damages.

 

In a statement released Wednesday, the "Desperate Housewives" star called the allegations "totally false and completely without merit."

 

According to reports just coming in from Los Angeles, the judge said that, "claims made by Hydroderm in a lawsuit against television star Teri Hatcher were tantamount to character assassination".
