NEW YORK : Oprah Winfrey's company has filed a lawsuit against the creators of the"Oprahdemics" podcast, claiming that the program misleads listeners into thinking she sponsored or approved it.

Instead, it wants a name change, saying the podcast and related live events dilute Harpo's"Oprah" and"O" trademarks, and wrongly capitalize on the goodwill that Winfrey has spent decades building. The"Oprahdemics" website describes Jackson and Rigueur as historians and friends who break down iconic episodes of Winfrey's talk show and discuss the cultural impact of the"Queen of Talk."

He said Roulette"has been engaged with the team at Harpo for some time-while genuinely surprised by this, we hope to resolve it.""This is a woman, a Black woman, who has dominated multiple spaces and arenas" since the 1980s, she said."I say that in a way that doesn't absolve her of ... constructive criticism or feedback or anything like that, but instead as recognition of ... the institution of Oprah Winfrey and the Oprah Winfrey brand.
