Bad news for the Kardashian family lawyers—the Trifekta (AKA Kim, Khloé, and Kourtney) are allegedly being sued (opens in new tab) over their makeup line "Kardashian Beauty." Hillair Capital Management, who invested in the line, is suing to the tune of around $180 million. (Hmmm...)

According to Gossip Cop (opens in new tab), the sisters teamed up with Boldface in 2012 to launch a makeup collection under the name "Kardashian Khroma." They later had to change the name to "Kardashian Beauty" after a trademark dispute over the word "Khroma." But when Boldface encountered financial problems in 2014, Hillair bought the company and put $10 million into the venture with the Kardashians as a joint owner.

Now, the company is reportedly stating that the ladies stopped promoting the brand and have even sabotaged it. The $180 million is the investment *and* loss of profits.

We're no legal experts, but we have a feeling this will be cleared up soon—no one puts a Kardashian in a corner.
