This is absurd. You don’t get to open the books of the company you are being paid to endorse. Nor should you be allowed to.
This is an insane suit and is hopefully thrown out right away.
I will say it again, absurd.

If you make money peddling a fraud, you’re liable. This is old law. Whether they have liability beyond their earnings is up for debate. But that there is liability is settled.
I don't see much of a case unless plantants can prove the defendants were aware of the fraud. This seems unlikely.
None of these celebs will face any legal trouble because they rightly aren't responsible for the companies they shilled for. If you were able to perform true due diligence before endorsing a product or service, you wouldn't see any recognizable faces in advertising.
