More Clara news: Advertisers may sue Clara for basically mucking up their image

[tokyocinema.livejournal.com]

Clara may soon face lawsuits from advertisers.

According to insider sources, companies for which Clara is a spokesmodel are preparing to take legal action against the actress for damaging their company’s image with her ongoing legal tussle with management agency Polaris Entertainment.

Specifically, the companies are saying that they can no longer use her as a spokesmodel, citing recent media reports that claim that Clara was playing the media with her accusations of sexual harassment.

A source from one company told Donga.com, “We signed an endorsement contract with Clara last year in December, and with something like this happening in just one month [into the contract], we are also taken aback. We are having serious internal discussions about this matter.”

The source also revealed, “Right now, all product promotions by Clara have been suspended. Although the term of her contract hasn’t expired, we are considering terminating [her] endorsement contract as well as taking legal action regarding her liability.”

A spokesperson of a different company commented, “Internally, we are examining the grounds of her liability as a spokesmodel. We plan to take action after observing how Clara and her agency’s dispute proceeds.”

Last December, Clara filed a lawsuit against her management agency Polaris Entertainment for contract release, citing sexual harassment by CEO Lee Jong Myung. Polaris Entertainment responded with a criminal suit saying that Clara breached her contract several times and fabricated a sexual harassment story to try and get out of her contract with the agency. In the ongoing legal dispute, the full text conversations between Clara and Polaris’ CEO have been released.

damn she got herself fucked up

[purpleglaceon]

Can't blame them.

[torontok.livejournal.com]

and she loses it all

[tempestdance.livejournal.com]

also clara's already admitted that she lied about the sexual harassment issues and that she filed the lawsuit for it after polaris filed a criminal suit against her.

http://article.topstarnews.net/detail.php?number=99946

[pikapika217.livejournal.com]

She stone cold said somewhere that the sexual harassment was a lie? She actually made that statement in an unmistakable way?!

[tempestdance.livejournal.com]

yup she went over the polaris and apparently shed some tears admitting her lies.

she's also paid the penalty fees for the breach of contract at previous agencies so it looks like she'd admitted it all - hence the advertisers now all rushing to take legal actions against her.

[tokyocinema.livejournal.com]

oh shit. well, goodbye Clara. It's been a real slice.

it felt like she tried to get Polaris to pay her old agencies' fees by sidling up to the CEO and when shit didn't go right for her, she just claimed sexual harassment and tried to flutter away.

[springsky.livejournal.com]

Wow, this is fucked up on so many levels. Even with all the messiness I was still trying to root for her. :(
Thanks for the extra info as always.

[agoongprincess.livejournal.com]

same, i was trying to believe her but now she came out and said it was bullshit. im so disappointed, why would anyone ever think it was a good idea to pull this horrible bullshit when many others can't even come forward.

[nekokonneko.livejournal.com]

Well, shit >:/

I had serious doubts once the 'ooops, I dropped my phone in water' thing broke, but gotdamn

[leighbee333.livejournal.com]

So there really was no sexual harassment? She's a POS.

[gigabytexx.livejournal.com]

she shouldn't admit anything at this point imo. But that is so stupid to lie something like this, she's practically dragging down real victims everywhere with her lies ugh

[leighbee333.livejournal.com]

I know, I'm in shock that her character could be so lacking (and that she'd actually be dumb enough to try this)

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

Seriously?


This is disgusting
as if it wasn't difficult enough for victims to come forward she had to turn this into a farce
Disgusting, truly disgusting

[tokyocinema.livejournal.com]

OT but that Panda cheese icon is A+

[evilvalenstrife.livejournal.com]

No, seriously, can she get a douche tag now? That's absolutely revolting.

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

absolutely disgusting

[viakyusu.livejournal.com]

WOW what the fuck is wrong with her?! Sickening

[inori88.livejournal.com]

Is this new or is the recording that she mentioned before? she said the CEO told her to apologize etc and he will let her out of the company, so she did and he recorded it and later used it against her (?).
Anyway, this is fucked up no matter how you look at it

[tempestdance.livejournal.com]

this article is from 24th, it looks like - i don't know what recording you're talking about.

[inori88.livejournal.com]

It’s true that I went to CEO Lee to apologize, saying that it was my mistake. I acted so because the Polaris lawyer told me that ‘the contract would be terminated if you apologize first.’ I wanted to apologize and get it over with quietly.

However, CEO Lee did not keep to his words, and is in fact using this as evidence against me after getting this on film using a CCTV.

http://www.soompi.com/2015/01/19/clara-posts-on-her-official-facebook-page-regarding-the-current-legal-dispute/

Im sure she mentioned before that he took that recording to the police or something.

[tempestdance.livejournal.com]

yeah i definitely think this is a later one.

[treaclyena.livejournal.com]

thanks clara, now claims of sexual harassment would be regarded even less credible than ever

jfc of all things that she could have lied about

[zeysech.livejournal.com]

wow.

[yohan94.livejournal.com]

damn

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

Her parents and her boyfriend or whoever was enabling this is complicit in her downfall. Get help/a good support system.

Disappointed in her.

[evilvalenstrife.livejournal.com]

Clarinet or whatever the fuck her name is needs to back flip into a seat. I don't feel badly for her especially since she lied about the harassment. When you lie about shit like that, you make it so everyone else who actually goes through it is discredited. And, what about the person you blamed? You've smeared their name. Absolutely foul....

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

I swear her life is right out of a drama. Next we will hear about her getting married to someone and moving to America.

[xkat-attackx.livejournal.com]

She's disgusting. This should have the "douche" tag.

[evilvalenstrife.livejournal.com]

+1

[agoongprincess.livejournal.com]

i can't believe she's this stupid, seriously this is the most horrible idiotic thing you could possibly do. if she got away with this she would have destroyed the ceo's life and now that she failed, she discredited everyone that has experienced sexual harassment and made it into a joke.

[shiroki-tenshi.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Clara, for your declaration that you lied for your own selfish gains (or lack thereof) and made it so much harder for real victims to step up. As if this business wasn't already difficult to survive in.

Let's hope she can see some claraty but at this rate, she should just disappear and live a peaceful life out of Korea. Even if she were a guy and did two years in the army, the hate on her would not go away.

[muramatsu-aoi.livejournal.com]

at this time, I really really hope she's lying about the harassment. The last time companies decided to terminate an actress' contract was for Choi Jinshil and it didn't turn out well :(

[shiroki-tenshi.livejournal.com]

Dude...I had to google Choi Jinsil and now I remember (after reading up) her. Dang, she, her brother, her ex-husband...:( and I remember the children. This poor family...

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

Why they terminate Choi Jinshil's contract?

[anconeous.livejournal.com]

Because she appeared in public with a bruised face and talked about domestic abuse. So her image got ruined and companies she endorsed didn't like their image model being tarnished.

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

Oh yes yes. I remember about this. I thought she did something wrong when I read the OP's comment.

[violentiak.livejournal.com]

Ah, good luck climbing out of that pit you digged for yourself. I really don't think she could have even hope to have a career in entertainment industry after this.

Somehow I feel that something isn't quite right with her. Like she doesn't behave like normal adults with common sense. I really can't say what it is.

[donutism.livejournal.com]

Really gurl, you just committed career suicide for that almost non existent career of yours.

[jackieee94.livejournal.com]

Idiot.

[modestgoddess79.livejournal.com]

such a mess

[cafetin99.livejournal.com]

I hope that this stupid bitch loses the lawsuit and ends up paying a lot of $$$$.

[bumie.livejournal.com]

stupid

[fatima fallago (from livejournal.com)]

Well she asked for it, way to fuck up your career Clara.
