It’s a good day for millionaire who keep winning millions.
Both Clint Eastwood and Shannen Doherty had the courts take their sides in their respective lawsuits with Eastwood being awarded $6.1 million in his fight against a Lithuanian CBD company and Doherty winning $6.3 million in her lawsuit against insurance group, State Farm.
Firstly, Eastwood was suing the CDB company for illegally using his name and likeness to endorse their product. According to Eastwood’s lawyers, the CBD retailers advertised their products with fake interviews with the Dirty Harry actor, apparently endorsing their merch.
Clint Eastwood and Shannen Doherty Each Win Over $6 Million in Their Lawsuits
It appears the company used a nipped and tucked version of an interview Eastwood did for the “Today” show, skewing it to become an advertisement for the CDB company.
Eastwood made it clear he was not in bed wit the company and did not endorse the product. Along with the $6.1 million the company has to cough up, they are also barred from using the 91 year old’s name and likeness forever more.
Doherty’s lawsuit was against her insurance company. It seems Jake and his State Farm team didn’t want to cough up the millions required to rebuild the Beverly Hills 90210 alum’s Malibu home after it was damaged on the Californian wildfires. State Farm claimed the home only needed a good cleaning as it had only suffered from residual smoke, but Doherty- and a jury- disagreed
The 50 year old was awarded the nice chunk of change to cover the house rebuild, loss of personal belongings, as well as emotional distress and attorneys’ fees. The emotional distress was real with the lawsuit getting pretty nasty. State Farms lawyers not only shamed Doherty for being a smoker (which she no longer is) but accused her of using her breast cancer diagnosis to gain sympathy points.
The sympathy did its job or shaming a person with stage 4 cancer just didn’t sit well with the jury! EIther way Clint and SHannen will soon be $6 million richer, each.
