Khloe Kardashian is having a terrible week.
After being slammed on Twitter over her comments on the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, Kim Kardashian's little sister is now being sued for sharing a photo of Bella Hadid wearing her clothing brand Good American.
Alo Photography is suing Khloe and her clothing brand in an attempt to recover damages for alleged copyright infringement according to recent court filings claiming they own the rights to photos.
Khloe Kardashian slammed for Kyle Rittenhouse reaction amid Astroworld silence
The post, which saw Khloe share a side-by-side snap of Bella wearing a leather jacket and a pair of distressed black jeans made by Good American as she was seen exiting a building was captioned:
“My baby @bellahadid is rocking her @goodamerican denim!! I love you Bella baby”. The supermodel replied to the post with a crown and red heart emoji, adding, “Love YOU!!!!!”.
In the court filings, the plaintiff has argued that Khloe Kardashian "used the aforementioned photos to promote her business by resharing them to her personal account", which is currently sitting on 200 million Instagram users.
“Upon information and belief, the infringements increased traffic to the account and, in turn, caused the defendant to realize an increase in its merchandise sales for Good American”. The plaintiff Alo Photography also argues that 'a large number of the public have now viewed the allegedly unlawful copies of the photographs'.
Removing the image from her account, Alo Photography is also seeking an injunction prohibiting the clothing brand from using any of their photos on their social media accounts in the future, in addition to the profits “attributable to the infringements” done in 2017.
