Palma said she participated in another shoot for the company in August 2020 and, in a similar situation, only received the $2,000 payment after a time frame that exceeded the 30-day deadline.
She is asking the court for another $60,000 as a fine for late payment.
Palma took to Instagram in July 2020 with a post showcasing her work for the company, captioning a photo of her face, “NEW CAMPAIGN FOR #kyliecosmetics.”
A representative for Kylie Cosmetics told TMZ that the company has documented evidence that Palma was paid for both days she worked before a 45-day period after the shoots.
A Jenner insider said a possible explanation for the situation could be that Palma’s representative may not have forwarded the payment to her in a timely manner, which would absolve the company of any responsibility in the matter.
According to Palma’s Instagram, she is represented by the group DT model managementwhich only had an image of her on their Instagram on June 7.
The Jenner source told the outlet that Palma had asked to write her a letter of recommendation, but they didn’t.
