The models filed separate but nearly identical lawsuits on December 16.The models claimed they were hired for an April photoshoot by Roc Nation for the swimwear line, which launched in May. They were paid $5,000 and $8,700 respectively, plus agency fees. However, their contracts allegedly only allowed their photos to be used in social media advertising.
