Although it seemed like the dust had settled around Kylie and Kendall Jenner’s controversial t-shirts, one photographer is back with a new lawsuit.
According to TMZ, photographer
Al Pereira has filed a suit against Kendall Jenner, Inc., which
reportedly accuses Kendall of lacking permission to use his photos of
2Pac, Biggie and Redman.
The $125 t-shirts featured Kendall and Kylie’s
faces slapped across images of the three rap legends, as well as other
iconic artists such as Jim Morrison of The Doors and Black Sabbath’s
Ozzy Osbourne. The shirts were briefly sold on their website, but they
were taken down in July after the public backlash.
The famous sisters are already facing a lawsuit
from The Doors’ attorneys and were threatened with a lawsuit by The
Notorious B.I.G.’s estate.
After The Notorious B.I.G.’s
mother, Voletta Wallace, Sharon Osbourne and countless others called
out Kylie and Kendall Jenner for their seemingly exploitive t-shirts
baring the likeness of 2Pac,
Biggie, Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne, and other iconic artists,
the infringing apparel were quickly removed from the Jenner sisters’
online store. But evidently that wasn’t enough. The reality television
stars were not only threatened with a lawsuit from Biggie’s estate, but
attorneys for The Doors are now following through with a suit of their
own.
Lawyers for the band sent a cease and desist letter to the Jenner sisters dated Thursday (June 29), according to TMZ. It reportedly says the t-shirt line tarnishes their trademark and consequently their legacy.
Despite Kylie and Kendall’s apologies, it looks like this oversight could cost them a pretty penny.
