Sharon Stone Fights Ecuador's PR Firm Over Missed Trip
Late last month, MCSquared PR filed what it said was a "simple and straightforward" lawsuit against actress Sharon Stone for not returning $275,000 after she canceled a trip to Ecuador. The lawsuit demands the money back, plus seeks $77,420 more in expenses outlaid to "accommodate Stones diva-like requests" of first-class airfare and a four-star hotel. In the weeks since the complaint was filed in a New York federal court, the dispute has become anything but simple.
According to the Brooklyn-based plaintiff, it retained the services of the American Program Bureau to hire celebrities for the Republic of Ecuador. The PR firm was attempting to bring awareness to what the South American country sees as environmental damage caused by oil giant Chevron in its Northeast Amazon region.
Stone was to appear in Ecuador April 79, 2014, to meet with high-level government officials and attend a press conference. Two hours before Stone was expected to arrive, APB's senior vp called MCS to cancel the trip. The media reported that the Basic Instinct actress was hospitalized in Brazil.
After MCS filed its lawsuit, Stone's lawyers made an appearance in court.
