A woman at a Rihanna concert claims that she contracted herpes there! To be clear, she’s not claiming that she got the herp from the singer herself, but from a cosmetics counter set up at the venue.
A woman by the name of Starkeema Greenidge says that she was at the Barclays Center Rihanna show when she was approached to try a sample of M.A.C. cosmetics by a rep. She didn’t think anything of it until a day after the concert.
She said that the rep applied the red RiRi Wo lipstick to her upper lip and then was advised to press her lips together and spread the color around. According to the lawsuit, Starkeema is claiming that the lipstick was used on many others at the concert before her — and one of the ladies had herpes.
Greenidge told TMZ … the day after the concert, “My whole lip was irritated and hugely swollen.” Greenidge says she went to a doctor and he told her she had herpes.
The suit accuses M.A.C. of shoddy business practices — applying lipstick directly from the tube instead of using either disposable samples or individual swabs.
Greenidge is suing M.A.C. Cosmetics, Inc — not Rihanna — for unspecified damages.
Can you blame her for suing the cosmetics giant? Perhaps they should get their act together with their samples instead of just using the same tube on everyone that walks in? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
