Lady Gaga has threatened to sue a London based company, The
Licktators, for using her name to title one of their products – breast
milk ice cream, nonetheless.
Well, her stage name. Her real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, obvs.
Her lawyers are allegedly citing trademark infringements against the
company for naming their special edition flavour Royal Baby Gaga, which
was brought out to mark the birth of Princess Charlotte in May.
The ice cream that’s got Gaga in a twist (we thought this kind of
thing would be right up her street, actually) is made using human breast
milk (as opposed to cow breast milk, which is just milk) that is
donated then screened in line with hospital standards before being
whipped up and frozen.
And it comes in a tub featuring a breastfeeding woman on the front,
who looks suspiciously like Duchess Kate herself, just in case you miss
it.
Anyway, Gaga’s solicitors think that the product could be mistaken
for an official Lady Gaga product and lead people to believe the use of
her name has been authorised.
But a spokesperson from The Licktators, Nadine O’Connor – AKA “General Custard" – told
The Mirror that the sweet treat “neither names nor features Lady Gaga, nor are her trademarks infringed.
“We will not be bullied into removing content from social media relating to our product and subsequent media coverage."
Gaga’s people are requesting that all offending words are removed
from social media and for them to no longer be in use within 14 days.
General Custard went on: "However, we will send complimentary tubs of
our ice cream to Lady Gaga for chilling out to, as a gesture of peace
and goodwill.”
So there you have it.
