Rihanna Sues Topshop For $5M Over Use Of Her Image On T-shirt by SexyPooja1(m): 10:55pm On Jul 20, 2013
In response, the fashion chain insists they have bought a license to use her picture from the photographer and claims RiRi continues asking for free clothes from the store to wear.
Rihanna is launching a lawsuit against U.K. giant fashion chain Topshop. The Bajan songstress is seeking $5 million, claiming that the store used her image on a t-shirt without her consent. The photo in question was taken during a 2011 video shoot in Northern Ireland.

The singer believes that Topshot has misled her devotees into thinking that the tee was a "genuine" endorsed merchandise with "an emotional connection to their heroine." Her lawyer said, "The sales...gave rise to a likelihood of deception, damaging Rihanna's goodwill."

"Rihanna's case is not about stopping the sale of all images of her on T-shirts in the U.K., nor is it about trying to create a free standing so-called image right in the UK. Passing off is a question of fact in each case," the lawyer continued as quoted by BBC.
