Herbalife International, a global weight loss company, filed suit in Los Angeles on Tuesday against Kathy and Rick Hilton regarding a dispute over royalty payments paid by the company to the Hiltons.
In 1992, Rick and Kathy, perhaps best known as the parents of Paris, were contracted to Herbalife to provide services to assist in the launching of a line of weight loss products. The product line was, according to Herbalife, discontinued in 2002, but the company alleges that the Hiltons have continued to receive royalty payments since then.
Herbalife said that it is “seeking a determination that we do not owe the Hiltons royalties on any products at this time and that certain historical royalties were paid mistakenly. Herbalife will also seek the return of the mistaken payments.”
