Conservative beauty influencer Amanda Ensing is suing Sephora and its chief marketing officer Deborah Yeh for defamation.
The complaint, filed by Ensing's attorneys on Thursday and viewed by Insider, comes months after Sephora stopped working with Ensing following criticism she faced for controversial comments she made on Twitter regarding the Capitol insurrection.
In the complaint, Ensing's attorneys argue that Sephora "made false and defamatory statements" about Ensing online, and therefore exposed her to "public hatred, ridicule, and contempt." It also says Yeh made "false and defamatory statements" in an email to all Sephora employees about the situation. Now, Ensing is seeking monetary damages, according to the complaint.
"See you in Court, @sephora," Ensing wrote in an Instagram post with a photo that shows the first page of the complaint on Friday. This is for every conservative who's been discriminated against for their views. 🇺🇸 Video coming soon... #boycottsephora."
