A judge sides with RiRi when she argues that her devotees
are deceived into thinking the t-shirt with her picture on it was authorized by
her.
Rihanna beats Topshop in court battle. The Bajan
songstress sued the U.K. giant fashion chain for $5 million, claiming that the
store used her image on a t-shirt without her consent. The photo in question
was taken during a 2011 video shoot in Northern Ireland.
A judge rules in favor of the R&B chart-topping
singer. The judge notes that it's likely for buyers to think the t-shirt was
genuinely endorsed by the songstress. It's also believed that the unauthorized
clothing could affect the sales of her River Island fashion line.
In her lawsuit, RiRi previously claimed that Topshop
initially ordered to sell the t-shirt under the name Rihanna Tank. After being
challenged by her team, the store dropped her name and changed it into
Headscarf Girl Tank before later renaming it Icon Tank.
