According to Fox Business, Liu Jo seeks the recovery of damages from Jenner. Though Jenner has not addressed the allegations, her model management company denied the claims by issuing a statement.

The Society Management spokesperson for the modeling agency has said E! News, "This suit is without merit. The Society Management, on behalf of Ms. Kendall Jenner, has continually offered Liu Jo alternative dates and locations to fulfill an agreement that was forced to be delayed because of the coronavirus pandemic."
