The songstress claims that the brand illegally used photos of her likeness after a partnership fell through.
. The latest involves singer Ariana Grande, who is suing the fashion retailer to a tune of $10 million for allegedly using photos of her likeness.that Ariana filed in California yesterday: Ariana and Forever 21 were in talks about a partnership, but the deal supposedly fell through because the brand did not agree to ”pay the fair market value for a celebrity of Ms. Grande’s stature.” That’s a nice way of saying that Forever 21 wouldn’t pay Ariana as much as she wanted.
According to court documents, Forever 21 found a super sketchy workaround. The lawsuit claims that the brand used photos of her for an “unauthorized marketing campaign” and even hired a model that looks strikingly similar to Ariana herself. In one of the photos of said model, she is wearing a pink pom-pom headpiece similar to the one that Grande wore in her “7 Rings” music video. The retailer captioned the photo, in part, “Gee thanks, just bought it,” according to court documents.
Per my own internet sleuthing, it seems that Forever 21 has since deleted the images in question from their Instagram account—but amazingly, it’s still live on their Facebook page. Fortunately for all of us though, screenshots live on forever. Here are the screenshot images making the rounds on the internet:Ariana has filed a demand for a jury trial, so we’ll have to wait and see how this one plays out.
