Sweeny denied all allegations of wrongdoing. She claimed she never signed a contract and backed out after finding out that the company reportedly had a ton of bad reviews online and was rated F by the Better Business Bureau.
Sweeney said she feared her reputation would be tarnished by the company. Her powerful lawyer Andrew Brettler argued that his client was under no obligation to proceed with the deal.

The case was extremely nasty with LA Collective being berated for ripping Sweeney up in lawsuits.
In one move, the company said: “Sweeney is now claiming for the first time that she suffered reputational damage from her association with [LA Collective] if she goes through with the deal, which is why she backed out,” LA Collective wrote. “It’s hard to see how she could end up with more reputational damage than she already has as a result of her pornographic videos and salacious images on the internet, which were completely self-inflicted wounds.”

Recently, Sweeney won a huge victory with the judge rejecting the majority of the claims. The only remaining claim is about LA Collective’s claim that Sweeney took possession of prototype swimsuits that were “given to Sweeney to wear for promotional purposes.”
Now, in Sweeney’s newly filed response to the lawsuit, she’s once again asking the judge to dismiss the latest claim. She said LA Collective was not damaged by the bikinis she was given.

Sweeney’s lawyer argued that the bikini could not be worth more than $25,000. Brettler said since the other claims were dropped, “this is a lawsuit that is now about the price of clothing.”
The judge has yet to rule.
