Khloe Kardashian's fashion line Good American is being sued for just over $100,000 by a model who claims she was not paid on time.  



The model, Jourdan Whitehead, alleges she was set to be paid $3,500 for the one day of work she completed on November 17, 2021, according to court documents obtained by The Blast. 

She alleges she was set to receive her paycheck by December 10, 2021 but did not receive payment for another three months, on March 11, 2022. 

Whitehead, who describes herself in the filing as a 'professional actor', is now suing the company for a penalty late fee.

Whitehead says she is now entitled to get a late payment penalty under California Labor Code 203 due to Good American's 'failure to timely pay [her] her wages was willful in that [Good American] was required to make timely payment, were able to do so, but chose not to do so.' 


Legal documents state 'Labor Code section 203 provides that upon an employer’s failure to make timely payment of wages, the employee’s wages shall continue as a penalty until paid or for a period of up to 30 days from the time the wages came due, whichever period is due,' reports The Blast. 

As she was compensated more than 30 days after her expected payment date, Whitehead says she is 'entitled to an award of penalties in the amount of $105,000.00, which is [her] daily rate multiplied by 30 days.'

She is also seeking to have Good American pay for her attorney's fees and any other related legal costs.
