Most Ridiculous Celebrity Lawsuit of the Week: Kardashians Fight Blac Chyna Over Family Name

  Michelle McCarthy /   January 23, 2017 /   Featured, Featured Lawyer, Lawyer /   Leave a Comment

There has been some shit going down in Kardashian-land as of late, no? From Kim’s Paris robbery to Kanye’s hospital stay for “exhaustion” to the birth of Rob’s first child. It must’ve been a very interesting holiday season in Calabasas.

The whirlwind of drama that is Rob’s life is challenging to follow. The one-time recluse shacked up with Blac Chyna (aka Angela Renee White), who used to date (and had a child with) rapper Tyga. Tyga is now dating Kylie Jenner, Rob’s half-sister. Whew.

Rob and Chyna were together, not together, got pregnant, scored a reality show to exploit the birth of their child, broke up, fought via Snapchat, had the kid and named it Dream, and are now reportedly living together in bliss.

Here’s an example of their super-healthy relationship:

All is good again, you might think. Kim is even back to her old selfie, while Kanye is focusing on his mental health by becoming BFFs with president-elect Donald Trump.

But wait! Someone’s not happy. All Blac Chyna wanted to do was trademark her future name: Angela Renee Kardashian. But the KKK—Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney—are not about to allow that and have their highly respected name tarnished, so they are contesting the application.

Through their respective companies, Kimsaprincess Inc., Khlomoney Inc., and 2Die4Kourt, the sisters claim that if allowed to trademark her new name, Blac Chyna would cause them to “suffer damage, including irreparable injury, to their reputation and goodwill.” Further, the Kardashian name has “acquired distinctiveness and goodwill in the United States and throughout the world,” and the trio has “spent, and continue to invest, a substantial amount of time, resources, and money in protecting, advertising and promoting” the brand.

We just cannot wait till Rob and Chyna’s wedding. Imagine what a circus that’s going to be.
