Supermodel Tyra Banks sues wig makers $10million for stealing her 'famous name'

Tyra Banks just filed a lawsuit in L.A. County against 10 companies that make wigs, in the suit she claims they're all biting her "name, photograph, image, and identity" - as well as her trademarks.

These wigmakers actually use Tyra’s image on their wig…in the same US. How dumb!
A few examples are the Yaki straight[Tyra-Banks style] wig, the Tyra Banks custom lace wig #046, and the Tyra Banks inspired human hair wig. The wigs costs about $300!

Tyra is suing for an injunction to stop the sale of the infringing products - and at least $10 million in damages.


Several pages of the lawsuit are spent on spelling out how valuable her trademark is because she's a huge star ... and to prove it her IMDB profile - all 11 pages - are attached to the suit as Exhibit A.


To be fair, the suit also refers to Tyra as a "former supermodel."
