Kim Kardashian Just Got Hit with a Major Lawsuit for Reportedly Copying Her KKW Beauty Logo
A regular occurrence these days.
Imagine being a Kardashian family lawyer these days. The hours you could bill! The onion rings you could expense! The discontinued Tupac T-shirts you could only wear around the house! Business must be booming right now, especially since Kim Kardashian and KKW Beauty are reportedly being hit with a lawsuit of their very own the day after Kylie Jenner got served for her Lip Kit logo.

TMZ reports that Kirsten Kjaer Weis, makeup artist and purveyor of chic organic cosmetics sold under her easily mispronounced surname, is taking legal action against West over their shared initials—she maintains that Kardashian's logo is too similar to her own and is asking for damages.

While Kjaer Weis claims that Kardashian is "knowing, willing, and deliberate" in her usage of the letters, sources connected to Kardashian say she consulted multiple legal teams when launching her line to ensure there were no violations.
