dbleudazzled And Khloe Kardashian Reach Agreement On Lawsuit
Khloe Kardashian has reached a settlement with designer Destiny Bleu for stealing her body suit design.
Los Angeles company dbleudazzled sued the reality TV star and her clothing line Good American, for $10 million on the account of ripping off their bedazzled bodysuit designs.
The company, dbleudazzled, founded by LA-based Destiney Bleu, accused Khloé and her team of borrowing several items to wear. They lent her the items to wear around and be seen in. Instead of wearing their clothes, however, the Kardashian used the items as a basis for a line of bodysuits she sold through her line, Good American.
The suit said Khloé "purchased and borrowed numerous pieces of Planitff's clothing, user the false pretense that the clothing items were for Kardashian's personal use.
They continued, "Instead, months later, Kardashian and Good American launched a new line of Good American bodysuits better (her) designs, without acknowledging (her) or properly compensating for the designs.
"From November 2016 through May 2017, Kardashian, through her assistants, repeatedly contacted Ms. Lewis and others at dbleudazzled to order at least sixteen made-to-measure garments under the false pretense that these garments were for Kardashian's personal use...At no time, did they disclose to Ms. Lewis or anyone at dbleudazzled that they were planning to create their own clothing line with similar designs, “ dbleudazzled claimed.
“Good American decided it would be easier to knock off the proven designs of an independent designer.”
Khloe’s legal team, however, have insisted that the accusation was “flagrantly false”.
Her lawyer claims the lawsuit is nothing more than a “cheap publicity stunt and an attempt by Ms. Bleu to get her 15 minutes of fame.”
This is not the first time a member of the Kardashian klan has been accused ripping off designs, especially designs by Black women. The Kardashian and Jenner sisters are quite notorious in the fashion world for cultural appropriation and unoriginal designs. Here is a list of all the times they've been accused of copying.
According to reports, dbleudazzled have informed the court they will no longer be pursuing their action as a confidential agreement has been reached. As a result, the court was asked to officially close the case.
