In a complaint filed on Monday, Grande said Forever 21 and Riley Rose misappropriated her name, image, likeness and music, including by employing a "strikingly similar" looking model, in a website and social media campaign early this year. Grande has more than 65 million Twitter followers
- The singing superstar Ariana Grande has sued Forever 21 for $10 million, accusing the fashion retailer and a beauty company started by its billionaire founders' daughters of piggybacking off her fame and influence to sell their wares.
She said this followed the breakdown of talks for a joint marketing campaign because Forever 21 would not pay enough for"a celebrity of Ms. Grande's stature," whose longer-term endorsements generate millions of dollars in fees. Its founders, Do Won and Jin Sook Chang, are worth $1.5 billion according to Forbes magazine. Their daughters, Linda and Esther Chang, opened the first Riley Rose boutique in 2017.
