Kim Kardashian is standing strong in defense of her latest business venture and has lashed out at a beauty brand that claimed she stole their name. Kardashian’s attorney called the lawsuit a “shakedown.”
“This lawsuit is not what it seems,” attorney Michael Rhodes told TMZ. Adding, “Building on independent research and development, her company filed a trademark application for SKKN BY KIM to protect the new branded products. This prompted the current shakedown effort.” Rhodes goes on to say that while they “applaud” Cydnie Lunsford’s effort, that doesn’t “give her the right” to claim trademark infringement.
Unfortunately for Kardashian, her rebranded skincare collection has also been deemed a “flop” by some fans, according to The U.S. Sun. The outlet details a number of complaints from consumers about the affordability, ingredients, and limited availability. However, since its launch, many of the products in the collection have been listed at a marked down or discounted rate.
