\tThe Jenner T-shirt controversy never seems to end. Kendall and Kylie Jenner are facing a lawsuit over their vintage-style T-shirt collection that superimposed the stars\u2019 Instagram photos over iconic music images. Michael Miller has now filed a copyright suit against the girls for using his photos of the deceased rapper Tupac Shakur. Miller\u2019s suit claims the Jenners never sought permission to use the photo and the sisters \u201chave misappropriated and wrongfully exploited\u201d two of his images of Tupac. One portion of Miller\u2019s suit specifically targeted the problematic association of his images with the Jenner name, according to Billboard. The lawsuit referred to the Pepsi commercial starring Kendall Jenner that was hit with explosive backlash for its tone-deaf nature. That commercial, like the shirts, was also pulled. The suit states \u201can association with Kendall is particularly problematic given that she was complicit in not one but two of the worst public relations disasters in recent memory,\u201d according to Billboard. \t<\/p>\n
\tVoletta Wallace, Tupac\u2019s mother wrote on Twitter:
\n#I am not sure who told @kyliejenner and @kendalljenner that they had the right to do this. The disrespect of these girls to not even reach out to me or anyone connected to the estate baffles me. I have no idea why they feel they can exploit the deaths of 2pac and my Son Christopher to sell a t-shirt. This is disrespectful, disgusting, and exploitation at its worst!!!\n\t<\/p>\n
\tWhen the sisters initially launched the collection, Voletta Wallace, mother of artist The Notorious B.I.G. also slammed the \u201cdisrespectful\u201d line. Shortly after, the Jenner sisters pulled his shirts and issued an apology. The T-shirt collections will likely continue to be an issue for the reality stars, as the apology didn\u2019t seem to be enough for Wallace. \u201cWhile we appreciate that the Jenners have made an apology and pulled the unlawful and unauthorized items, this matter has yet to be resolved,\u201d Biggie\u2019s estate told People magazine. Sharon Osbourne, wife of musician Ozzy Osbourne, also attacked the sisters for using her husband\u2019s image. #\u201cGirls, you haven\u2019t earned the right to put your face with musical icons,\u201d Osbourne wrote on Twitter. \u201cStick to what you know … lip gloss.\u201d\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Someone PLEASE Get These Girls To Hire A Copyright Lawyer\/T-shirt Designer! <\/b> \t\t<\/p>\n\tSusan Z\u2019s Conclusion:<\/h2>\n
\nI don\u2019t see the controversies ending with the Jenners design lines. They make a living off \u201cbeing famous\u201d, not for any particular talent but just for being rich and famous, so it would make sense they would see plagiarizing other rich and famous people to make a buck as fair game!\n\t<\/p>\n
\tPrincess of Wands: \t<\/b> Inverted (Upside Down)
\nThis is a young person\u2019s energy creating new projects. Since pulled inverted, it clearly indicates that all their new projects are not going exactly the way they envisioned it would.\n<\/p>\n
\t \tKnight of Pentacles:<\/b>
\nThis is a young man energy who is solid and honest in his dealings but also stubborn to change. I feel this is the energy around the deceased rap stars estates they continually step on for profit and those in charge of the estates determined to not let them get away with it.\n<\/p>\n
\t The Hierophant:\t<\/b>
\nThis is teacher and healer coming into a situation. I believe these T-shirt issues coming up for the Jenner\u2019s are teaching them very quickly that a deceased famous person\u2019s estate is usually worth a lot more than when alive and guarded fiercely by those collecting the checks.
