Kim Kardashian Sues Retailer For Using Look-Alike

By Simone Hilliard

Is Kim Kardashian suing Old Navy? According to TMZ, the reality starlet filed a federal lawsuit in Los Angeles on Wednesday against the retail giant.

Kimmy K is reportedly seeking $15-$20 million from Old Navy claiming they intentionally used a look-alike in an effort to trick the public into thinking Kardashian was affiliated with the brand. A statement from Kim's representation reads:

"Old Navy launched a multimedia advertising campaign featuring television and online ads that misappropriate Kardashian's likeness in the form of a celebrity look-alike and styled the infringing ads to evoke Kardashian's identity and persona."

Adding fuel to the fire is the fact that the 29-year-old Kardashian look-alike is model/actress Melissa Molinaro, who is reportedly dating Kim's ex, New Orleans Saints player Reggie Bush.

Kardashian is also particularly peeved that the brand tweeted promotional tidbits about the campaign and her look-alike at her twitter page. Old Navy tweeted:

"@CBSNEWS reports that Old Navy's Super CUTE star looks like @kimkardashian. #LOL. What do you think?"

Do you think Kardashian has a case? Sound off in the comments, or @MTV3.
