The 25-year-old model and her Rhode skin care company were hit with a trademark infringement lawsuit this week from owners of a fashion company of the same name, which claims Bieber even offered to purchase the RHODE trademark for clothing four years ago.
Co-founders Purna Khatau and Phoebe Vickers filed their lawsuit against Bieber on Tuesday, June 21, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. According to the suit, Bieber's counsel had allegedly filed"a trademark application to register the mark 'rhode' for class 25 goods, including clothing" before reaching out to the fashion company.
Bieber has not yet responded to the lawsuit or commented publicly on it, and has not yet addressed the allegation that she previously offered to buy the RHODE trademark from Khatau and Vickers. "I went with skin care because I've always had a dream of doing a beauty brand, and for me, skin care felt like it made the most sense because I've always been so passionate about it -- and passionate about a skin care routine," Bieber told"Good Morning America" in an interview on June 15."I would say I'm slightly obsessive over it, and I'm just very routine when it comes to skin care.
