Kim Kardashian Sues Old Navy Over Bush's Girlfriend Melissa Molinaro

Update-Kim Kardashian suing Old Navy over Reggie Bush’s new girlfriend, Melissa Molinaro?! Maybe it’s not that simple – we hope – Kim K is certainly filing suit against Old Navy because they used Reggie Bush’s girlfriend Melissa Molinaro in their recent commercial. But it’s less because of a lover’s scorn and more business related đŸ˜‰ . Kim Kardashian and the remaining family is a $65 million brand that they must protect at all cost! The suit is alleging that Old Navy used a Kim look-alike Molinaro in an effort to intentionally mislead the public.

The commercials begins something like a music video where actress Melissa Molinaro plays the role of a celebrity, fashionista by the name of “Super Suzie”, who is hounded by the paparazzi wherever she goes. I don’t know about you, but I don’t remember the last time I was chased by paparazzi because I was sporting a pair of Old Navy Khakis. Â  I didn’t even realize this commercial was selling clothes until the last three seconds.

TMZ reports that Kim is particularly upset Old Navy has also launched a twitter campaign in an attempt to further siphon her fame.

One of the tweets read;

“@CBSNEWS reports that Old Navy’s Super Cute star look like @kimkardashian. #LOL. What do you think?”

It looks like Old Navy’s bold move has backfired as Kim is seeking somewhere between $15 and $20 Million.

The further clarify that this isn’t an ex out for revenge, a source added that Kim is more concern about ruining her relationship with Sears. Â  “It could ruin her relationship with Sears if she’s affiliated with Old Navy. To protect her image, she had to file a lawsuit. She doesn’t even mention Melissa in the lawsuit. He name is not even in it. The commercial came out in February and Old Navy was tweeting that she looked ‘just like Kim K!'”

Take a look at the Old Navy commercial below – does Kim Kardashian’s case have merit?

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
