Re: Kim K files lawsuit against Old Navy

DH thinks I'm crazy because I'm always saying certain actors in commercials are intentionally made up to look like stars. I knew I wasn't crazy!!

There's a commercial for something (don't remember what, we watch with mute on) and this guy was getting a haircut and looked exactly like the actor who plays Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network.

I'm sorry but unless they changed her name to Kim K that is the MOST ridiculous thing I've ever heard. A lawsuit b/c someone looks like her? I didn't realize she had cornered the market on brunette bimbo Chat Icon What next, a lawsuit against random people on the street? She's an azz.




This.

Sorry Kim, that chick was around before we ever heard your name....she was on Making the Band with Aubrey and Aundrea and one of the finalists back when we were better for not knowing about your sex tape and the rest of your family.

no way! K is a self centered ahole. I actually think the ON girl looks exactly like Nicole from PCD.

In that case, Mellisa should sue Kim, since Kim has had surgery..... obviously to impersonate Mellisa, and in doing so, has tarnished Mellisa's name and image, doing irreparable damage to her TV career.

I'm not sure if it warrants a lawsuit but when I first saw that commercial (it was a while ago) I thought, "Oh wow, they cast a KK look alike."



Ditto. And I mean that's the whole point. But you can't sue someone for looking like you. That's crazy!



ITA...How is this lawsuit even possible???

Re: Kim K files lawsuit against Old Navy

If someone was suing ON for the stupidity of the commercials, I might be on board. For her looking like Kim? Who cares?

Is the issue that she *looks* like Kim ( which she doesn't really IRL), or that Old Navy *styled* her like Kim, which they clearly did? The fact that this chic doesn't really look like her when she isn't made up, makes it even more obvious that ON was doing this on purpose.

Also, she is sueing ON (which is still a stretch), not Melissa Molinaro.

This is exactly what I thought when I heard this.

Not to mention, isn't this commercial old news? i haven't seen it in forever.

If I had to bet the theory they are suing under is brand dilution which means that there likely is confusion for the general public between an advertisement for product X by person or company Y. Kim is likely alleging by having someone who looks or is styled in her unique way gives an impression that she and her brand are giving her/its endorsement of old navy without her permission.

I will say that when I originally saw the advertisement I thought they had Kim in the add so her law suit has some merit on its face.

I think her lawsuit has some merit. They clearly depicted a KK look alike on that add. I mean EVERYBODY knew exactly who they were trying to portrait. The actress/singer is not at fault. ON is!!!!

I'm almost positive it was pulled because of this suit.

I agree.
It seems they wanted her associated with ON somehow, but didn't want to dish out the $$$ to use her in the commercial. At least that's how I see it.

Re: Kim K files lawsuit against Old Navy

i don't understand how it could even be a valid case. You can't sue someone for looking like you?! It's not like Old Navy was claiming or pretending it was really Kim. I don't get it?!?!Chat Icon Chat Icon
