Image
  Diddy is taking his former clothing company, Sean John to court for using his image, likeness, and persona without his permission. The Hip Hop mogul has filed a $25 million lawsuit against his former clothing brand, Sean John, and the company’s new owner Global Brand Groups USA, according to  All Hip Hop . According to a complaint filed last Thursday, Sean John, which has launched a new women’s clothing line with the brand Missguided, used the mogul’s image, likeness, and persona without his permission. Combs founded the company in 1998. He sold stakes to GCG USA in November 2016 for an estimated $70 million and still owned 20 percent, according to Forbes.

Former US President, Donald Trump has been banned from ever rejoining the Screen Actors Guild—American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. This came after SAG-AFTRA President Gabrielle Carteris and the national board approved a disciplinary hearing against Trump which was held on Saturday February 6. This resulted in Trump being barred from rejoining the union because of the way he treated members of SAG-AFTRA during his presidency and “his antagonism of the union’s journalist members and disregard for the values and integrity of the union”.  On Sunday February 7, SAG-AFTRA passed a resolution to preemptively deny any potential readmission applications from Trump.  SAG-AFTRA President Gabrielle Carteris said in a statement;    "Preventing Donald Trump from ever rejoining SAG-AFTRA is more than a symbolic step. "It is a resounding statement that threatening or inciting harm against fellow members will n...
