A few months ago, Next modeling agency sued Ford for supposedly stealing moneymaking honeys Anna Aleksandra Cywinska, Anna Maria Jagodzinska, and Karmen Pedaru. Now those three models are suing Next, which represents Karlie Kloss among other top names, for "collecting and converting hundreds of thousands of dollars of their earmarked compensation remitted by third parties for bookings in the United States," according to the court documents.

Pedaru claims Next owes her at least $400,000 and should pay her $1 million in punitive damages, according to the models’ lawyer Jennifer Bougher.

Jagodzinska is out $230,000 and Cywinska was taken for $30,000, they claimed. Both are also seeking $1 million in punitive damages.

Damn. Those girls bank. Let's all become models! Or not.
