Jennifer Lopez and
Marc Anthony are suing a baby stroller company. Don’t worry, the strollers didn’t put the twins in danger. Jen and Marc are just really greedy.
They’re suing the manufacturer Silver Cross because they’ve been using a picture of them pushing the twins in their strollers in their ads.
The company never checked with Marc and Jen for permission, and hasn’t paid them for the pics, so they’re suing the company for trademark infringement.
The suit claims Silver Cross used their photograph online and also in ads without their consent, in turn deceiving the public into "believing that Lopez and Anthony endorse and sponsor" the company.
Oh whoop-di-do! Poor J-Lo! How dare someone think she’s a sponsor of a baby stroller?! She and her husband are seeking $30 million in damages, along with a permanent injunction against the company ever using their names and images.
It's pretty sad for people like them to be asking for a multi-million dollar payout when some parents have been out of their jobs for months. If they do end up getting the $30 million, we hope they do the right thing and give it all to charity.
