Kelleth Cuthbert a.k.a. “Fiji Water Girl,” who went viral at the 2019 Golden Globes for photobombing celebs as she handed out water bottles, didn’t watch the 2020 Golden Globes.
“I am hanging out with my two rescue puppies tonight,” the 32-year-old actress/model told Page Six on Sunday. “I’m not [watching], but I am curious about a couple of the categories. I’ve just been googling it here and there to see what’s been announced.”
Cuthbert, whose real name is Kelly Steinbach, sued Fiji Water Company and The Wonderful Company in January 2019 for using her viral fame to market their product without permission. The company quickly countersued, saying her claims were false and that she breached her contract.
Cuthbert told us the lawsuits are still ongoing a year later.
“I can’t really talk about any details,” she explained. “But I’m proud of myself for standing up for myself. Their actions that they took were super hurtful with everything that happened.”
She added, “I’m really hopeful it will be resolved in the near future. It’s a long process, but it’s moving in the direction of being solved and I’m hopeful.”

Cuthbert told us the initial craziness of her viral fame has calmed down over the last year, although it’s been renewed the past couple of days because of the award show.
“It’s still been an exciting year full of very unusual opportunities,” she said. As well as continuing to audition for roles and various modeling jobs, she explained that she’s working with Pacific Pups Rescue and fostered 40 dogs in the past year.

As for which celebrities she’s rooting for to take home a Golden Globe, “I loved Adam Driver’s performance [in ‘Marriage Story’], so I’m super curious if he’s going to win something for that.”
