Ariana Grande said thank u, but no thank u to Forever 21 when they pitched her an endorsement deal, but the clothing store went and launched a ripoff Ariana ad campaign anyway ... according to a new suit.
The singer alleges Forever 21 and her team were in talks for a deal in December 2018 into January, but the company wouldn't pony up enough dough to use her name and likeness.
Instead, Forever 21 allegedly stole it from Grande for a campaign across their website and social media ... and also hired a look-alike model to make it seem even more like the real deal.
According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, F21 published at least 30 unauthorized images and videos misappropriating Ariana's name and likeness, and did so by piggybacking off of the huge success of her "Thank U, Next" album.
Grande claims the company stole imagery from her album to create a false perception Ariana was backing the Forever 21 brand. The suit alleges F21's look-alike model also reenacted scenes and shots from the album's singles and music videos ... specifically "7 Rings."
The store Riley Rose, which was launched by the daughters of Forever 21's founders, was also allegedly involved in the ripoff campaign.
Grande is suing for at least $10 MILLION in damages.

did you read the post?
Ion know how to feel about this
Ive seen lots of adds of girls that look similar to big name artists
But can you really sue someone for looking like you?
it's more than just her looking like her.
They literally stole scenes from one of her videos and used them as photos. this is after she declined to do business with them (I think this may be the smoking gun tbh)
I'm a lawyer btw

This mess reminded me of how much of a KNOCK 7 Rings is

A key component here seems to be they wanted to use her image and were working on a deal. But didn't have the coins and went ahead and did it anyway without her approval.
That deal tgat fell through gives her a major advantage walking into this
it's already been explained to him. He doesn't seem to understand though

Ariana doesn't even look like herself tho. They should make her come to court washed up with no make up.

Don't get mad because they found a loophole

*Mickayla
since she's fuckin nuts
What a joke. Her career is based off of a fake image. She didn't even break through in music until she started looking like a Latina or mixed girl, and she's suing a company using a real ethnic girl in their photo :uhh:
Have y'all seen her first music video? I think it's called Put Your Hearts Up :kii:
She got a strong case in my opinion.
Isnt Forever 21 bout to file bankruptcy? Yeah, she aint getting shit.
