Dispute over Tupac Photos on Jenner Shirts Settled
No ruling on the Tupac photos: Photographer Michael Miller and the Kendall + Kylie brand asked the court to dismiss the lawsuit on April 4, 2018.
A court filing dated April 4, 2018, ended the legal dispute over the Tupac photos on the Jenner shirts (see withdrawal of the shirts): both sides asked the court to dismiss photographer Michael Miller’s lawsuit against the Kendall + Kylie brand. Each side bears its own legal fees; the documents provide no details regarding a financial settlement.
The Brand Cited a License
Miller had argued that the sisters used his pictures of Tupac without permission. The brand countered that it had received the photos from a company authorized to license them. Following the criticism, the brand pulled the shirts.
