Victoria Beckham Suing Rock & Republic

According to the British paper The Daily Mail, Beckham is intending on suing Rock & Republic for $100 million.  This Los Angeles company makes the high-end jeans collection created by Beckham.

The partnership between Beckham and Rock & Republic began in 2004, but went sour when the company accused the star of not promoting the collection.  The partnership came to an end in 2006. 

Beckham claims that the company owes her money for the collection that made more money than they had anticipated.  This is questionable since certain stores such as Kitson and Fred Segal decided to withdraw the brand dVb.
