Katy Perry Denies She’s Suing Aussie Designer
ScandalAnt 30 June, 2009 - 9:39 AM
Photo by FilmMagicWe know Katy Perry is not suing Australian fashion designer Katie Perry, but her legal team has made some pretty ridiculous demands along with the threat that if those demands are not accepted… she will sue! Now the singer has gone to the extraordinary step of posting a statement about the issue on her blog.
According to the blog: “In the course of securing trademark protection for Katy Perry in Australia, it came to the attention of her representatives that Katie Howell, a clothing designer in Australia, had filed an application for trademark protection under a similar name in connection with her own clothing design business.”
ScandalAnt can’t help but notice the statement completely avoids the fact that the Aussie designer’s birth name is Katie Perry.
Katy Perry’s real name, on the other hand, as we have previously reported is Katheryn Hudson.
“A routine notice letter was sent to Ms. Howell, as is customary in trademark practice, alerting her of Ms. Perry’s intended application,” the statement – the first half of which seems to be written by her legal representatives - goes on to say.
Then Katy Perry – in first person - finishes off with this: “This is a routine trademark application, and I certainly haven’t sued anyone.
“As usual, some of the press seems to have delighted in creating a story where there is none.”
ScandalAnt is fascinated about where this story will go next – Will popular singer Katy Perry back down and further endear herself to fans, or will she be a big bully to the detriment of an Aussie fashion designer of modest means? Tell us what you think
