Kim Kardashian has taken legal action against Old Navy and seeking damages for using a lookalike for an ad featured on YouTube. Check out more details about the lawsuit below!
It seems that Kim Kardashian isn't joking when
it comes to her image, as she has taken legal action against the
well known clothing brand, Old Navy. The reason behind Kim
Kardashian's decision to sue Old Navy is an ad that Old Navy has
used to promote their clothing line. According to Kim, the company
decided to use a lookalike to confuse the consumers into thinking
she's endorsing the product.
The reality TV diva has sued Old Navy and its parent company The
Cap Inc. for allegedly violating her publicity rights with the ad
used to promote the label. The ad was featured on Old Navy's
YouTube channel and ranked a couple of million visitors.
Kim Kardashian has become quite an entrepreneur lately creating
her own fragrance line in addition to her own clothing store and
shoe line, and she is thought to be one of the most searched for
celebrities at this moment, so no wonder
Kim's defending her popularity.
The ad used by Old Navy and titled “Super CUTE” features a woman
that looks like Kim Kardashian, but the resemblance isn't striking.
However, Kim states that the label used her lookalike to promote
the clothing line and that can lead consumers into thinking she was
affiliated with Old Navy.
With 8 million followers on Twitter and more than 5 million fans on
Facebook, Kim Kardashian can definitely back-up her celebrity
status, but could her fame and resemblance to the woman in the ad
be enough proof to convince the judge that she's right?
According to OMG, the lawsuit states that Kim “has invested
substantial time, energy, finances and entrepreneurial effort in
developing her considerable professional and commercial
achievements and success, as well as in developing her popularity,
fame, and prominence in the public eye,” and she's seeking damages
for the ad that features her lookalike. Kim is asking for an
unspecified amount in damages, but it's rumored that we're talking
about millions.
Do you see any resemblance between the actress staring in Old
Navy's ad or do you think that Kim is just using this lawsuit to
remain into the spotlight?
