Careless
Most of the time, this A list mostly movie actress who is an Oscar winner/nominee is very careful about her company name.
She has a loan out company that she uses for her acting and legit businesses and then a different company for her more unethical businesses.
Those businesses include the sweat shops in Asia she owns and a distillery in an island country where children do much of the farming of the plants needed. Se knows that with her brand, she would look ridiculous if people knew about her shady businesses, so she keeps them quiet.
Recently though, some documents from a decade or so ago were unearthed where her regular business name were on some papers that really don’t look good.
What should have been her bad company did some business with the legally challenged model recruiter.
Apparently he even came to her home in that country to visit.
Our actress wanted to send some “models” she met in Africa to “work” in a country in South America and wondered if the model recruiter could help.
He was happy to help and papers were drawn up establishing a model company with proceeds going to her legit company rather than the shady one.

Union fights sexual harassment at Hippo Knitting garment factory, Lesotho
16 May, 2021
After reports that workers at Taiwanese-owned Hippo Knitting are subjected to sexual harassment and violence in the workplace, IndustriALL Global Union affiliate, the Independent Democratic Union of Lesotho (IDUL), are fighting back against the rampant violations.
Taiwanese-owned Hippo Knitting in Maseru, Lesotho, supplies workout wear to Fabletics, a brand co-founded by actor Kate Hudson.
Mathabiso Moshabe, a shop steward at the factory says:
“The company asks women workers to undress during searches when they knock off work and justifies this by saying they suspect that the workers are stealing from the factory. But we are refusing the body searches which are humiliating, disrespectful and against our dignity.
“One of the human resources managers teases workers that since they undress for others to take photos; why not undress for body searches. The manager also makes fun of their bodies, mocks how they dress, and the shoes they wear.” – Source
