Kim Kardashian vs. Old Navy


Dear fellow Diva

One Diva I love to love VS. one clothing line I love to hate recently settled a major dispute.  Kim Kardashian sued Old Navy last July for MILLIONS, claiming they intentionally used a look-alike in an effort to dupe the public into thinking Kim was affiliated with the brand. FIRST OF ALL, I would like everyone to know that Kim would never agree to be the face of a non-sassy, safe, boring, mom-jean-wearing clothing line.  Diva’s just don’t do that.


What the case did bring was a lot of personal drama.  After the lawsuit was filed, attorneys for Old Navy were aggressive in the discovery phase, launching an investigation to see whether Kim's reputation has been tarnished.  Well, it’s safe to say that Kim was worried enough to bring on the lawsuit because she does not want to be affiliated with Old Navy because her glossy, flossy ways WOULD be tarnished – Kim doesn’t wear mom jeans, please.

If any of you Divas don’t know by now, Kimmy is my girl.  I know there are a lot of “haters” and “love to hate” types out there in regards Kim, but she’s got a point!  What Old Navy was doing was unethical and just plain RUDE.  I have to back up Kim – is it right for Old Navy to purposefully steal an identity as prominent as Kim Kardashian and not even have to pay a dime for such deceiving endorsement?

Finally, Kim's lawsuit was dismissed late August. Apparently, Old Navy agreed to pay Kim an undisclosed sum based on her look-alike claims. Kim-1 Old Navy-0. You go KIM!
