Pal: Why Kim Kardashian Is Suing Old Navy

Pal: Why Kim Kardashian Is Suing Old Navy

Yesterday, we told you of how reality star Kim Kardashian is suing Old Navy and parent company, Gap, over a lookalike ad for the brand that possibly confused fans. Kim claimed that the clothing company was violating her publicity rights by using someone in advertisements that looks just like her.

Now, a friend of Kim’s is dishing the dirt on what prompted the lawsuit. Is it Kim’s need for someone else to foot the bill for her huuuuuuuuuge wedding? Or could it be because Kim has to finance her next butt pads purchase?

A pal of Kim’s told about the reasoning behind the lawsuit. She said, “She’s protecting her brand. She can’t let another brand use her image to sell clothes!”

Kim’s ex-boyfriend, Reggie Bush, doesn’t seem to mind dating the lookalike, Melissa Molinaro. Ha! She can’t sue him for that, though.

The insider went on to reveal, “She’s a businesswoman who has to protect her brand. Bottom line.”

What do you think of Kim’s lawsuit against Old Navy? Did the ad confuse any of you into thinking that it was Kim Kardashian? Or were you surprised to see someone less trashy than Kim who hasn’t profited from her own sex tape? Let us know what you think!

And, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention that Kim’s butt looks like it needs its own zip code. That is all.
