Charlotte Feeney sued cosmetics giant L'Oreal for $15,000. Feeney insisted her life was ruined when she accidentally touched up her naturally blonde hair with brown dye from a mislabeled box.
"I was sick to my stomach," she said in an affidavit. "I have a bad hair day every day. I had headaches. I don't like myself. I stay home more than ever in my life. I wear hats most of the time."
What's more, she told her doctor that she doesn't know how to dress now that she's no longer a blonde - one reason her doctor prescribed medication to treat anxiety and depression.
"Blondes get more attention than brunettes," she said. "Emotionally, I miss that."
Thankfully a judge dismissed the suit, ruling that Feeney never proved that L'Oreal was to blame for the mix-up
Of course the real question is...why didn't she just dye her hair back to blonde? Maybe L'Oreal should have just sent her a box of blonde hair color for free! That would have solved everything!
