Cross Wilhelmina, expect a lawsuit.
Wilhelmina Models Inc., which was founded in 1967, making it one of the oldest existing modeling agencies, last week sued six-year-old agency The Society, part of Elite World, for allegedly taking its models and its related service fees. Wilhelmina is asking a New York court for at least $1 million in damages in order to “ensure that The Society’s wrongful conduct does not go unpunished.”
The lawsuits are additional attempts to stem the apparent flow of talent out of Wilhelmina, a fair amount of which seems to be going into The Society. The younger agency, started in 2013, recently lured over Taylor Hendrich, who led Wilhelmina’s men’s group until last month when he joined The Society.
“The Society has been inserting itself into engagements that Wilhelmina had already secured, and thus taking fees that were due Wilhelmina,” the agency wrote in its complaint. “In fact, The Society’s tortious interference alleged in this lawsuit is merely part of a larger deliberate and malicious scheme by The Society to steal Wilhelmina’s employees, talent and business with its brands.
