This
can’t be good for Kim Kardashian’s mental health as the mommy-to-be is
busy house-hunting and shopping for shoes with beau Kanye West.
After
facing trademark infringement allegations last year for their Khroma
Beauty line, the Kardashian sisters have been hit with hefty lawsuit.
Celebrity makeup artist Lee Tillett is seeking $10 million in damages
from the fashionable trio and Boldface Licensing + Branding, the company
that owns Khroma Beauty’s license, for allegedly swiping the name of
her cosmetics line and adding an “h.”
The
Orlando Sentinel reports that Tillett, who launched Kroma Makeup in
2004, filed the suit this Wednesday in a Los Angeles federal court. She
had previously filed a cease and desist letter back in June to Boldface
Licensing + Branding, taking action one step further than Chroma Makeup.
“I
developed the Kroma line myself, built my business through my own hard
work, and took the legal steps necessary to protect it,” Tillett said in
a press statement. “And yet I have now been forced into legal battle
with the Kardashians simply because they have decided to take something
that doesn’t belong to them.”
While
Boldface had told The Huffington Post last October that they too had
gone through the necessary legal steps to secure their name, Tillett is
preparing to protect her brand’s name and money at all costs.
What do you think of the latest development in the Khroma Beauty legal battle? Do you think the Kardashians should pay up?
