Kim Kardashian is threatening a cookie company with a lawsuit after it falsely suggested she eats its product. The reality show star’s lawyers sent a cease and desist letter to Dr. Sanford Siegal, the maker of the Cookie Diet.
According to the letter obtained by TMZ, the website for Dr. Siegal’s Cookie Diet lists a hyperlink with the title “Kim and Khloe Kardashian, Jessica Simpson, and Denise Richards lose weight with the Cookie Diet.”
Kardashian says that Dr. Siegal has no right to use her name in connection with the advertising, publicity, or sale of the cookie. The link misleads and creates the false impression that she is an endorser.
The misrepresentation apparently poses a risk to her paid contract with a competing diet product.
Her lawyers are demanding that he remove the link and refrain from any further use of Kardashian’s name in connection with the cookie. They also want a written statement posted on the front page of the product’s website that says she is in no way associated with them.
If Dr. Siegal refuses to comply, they will be pursuing a legal action.
