Eminem has filed a motion to halt Robyn Dixon and Gizelle Bryant’s trademark registration for the title of their podcast, “Reasonably Shady,” but they are putting up a fight.
The “Real Housewives of Potomac” members requested that the “Lose Yourself” rapper’s objection, which he submitted last month, be rejected, according to legal papers acquired by Page Six.
In their statement from March 1, Bryant, 52, and Dixon, 43, stated that they “admit there isn’t any relationship, authority, or approval” that exists between them and Eminem, 50, “about the trademarks at issue.”
Robyn Dixon And Gizelle Bryant Are Not Backing Down
“Gizelle Bryant and Robyn Dixon reject any possibility of misunderstanding between Mather’s trademark and the Reasonably Shady mark,” the reality stars’ lawyer Andrea Evans confidentially told Page Six. “We are ready to defend clients against any charges surrounding their IP rights.”
The Bravolebrities applied to trademark the title of their podcast in Feb 2022 with the intention of starting to sell items like eye shadow, plastic bottles, lip gloss, hoodies, surfboards, coats, and socks. However, Eminem, whose real identity is Marshall Mathers, stated last week that he thought Bryant and Dixon’s attempt to trademark “Reasonably Shady” would “harm” his brand. The “8 Mile” actor claimed “Reasonably Shady” would “create confusion in the eyes of consumers,” as he has been recognized as Slim Shady and Shady ever since the late ’90s.
Since 1998, Eminem has utilized “Slim Shady” and “Shady” exclusively for entertainment services, and he also owns the rights for “Shady” to be used on merchandise. Along with their many performances on “RHOP,” Bryant and Dixon’s “Reasonably Shady” podcast debuted in 2021 and has since seen enormous success. The girls actually celebrated obtaining more than 5 million sales just last month.
