It looks like “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Porsha Williams has found someone other than Kenya Moore to bicker with these days. In a recent Twitter beef, singer Teyana Taylor and the radio personality seem to butt heads over the “rights” to use the term “unbothered” on apparel.
Teyana Taylor launched her clothing line UNBOTHERED LLC some time ago. Earlier this week, however, Williams posted a promotion for a black, long-sleeve tee that reads ‘#Unbothered’ with the caption, “Coming soon. Pre-order Feb. 8.”
The problem is that Taylor allegedly owns the rights to the brand and when she caught wind of the development, she immediately checked Williams for trying to piggyback off her idea. “No it will not be coming out because unbothered is my clothing line, legally as well & u follow me so I’m sure you know what it is. So you should take it this down,” Taylor wrote via Instagram.
As predicted, Williams, who critics say has turned into quite the mean girl as of late, responded to Taylor (Tatiana) with the intent to let her and her fans know that she has no plans to halt the production and sale of her T-shirts.
“I always remain unbothered. I’ve been saying ‘unbothered’ and ‘fleek’ like everybody else on Instagram. Like she said on my comments, I do follow Tatiana or whatever. I follow a lot of people who are in entertainment. I try to support a lot of our young black women doing it in music. I had no idea she had a clothing line. I really don’t have a problem with her having a clothing line called unbothered because my t-shirt is just a t-shirt line. It’s not a clothing line. Furthermore, I just wish Tatiana would’ve consulted her legal team because then she would know that she can’t even trademark the word unbothered anyway. I just thought it was a little distasteful to put the comment on Instagram instead of DM’ing me. She could’ve just DM’d me and said, ‘Hey Porsha, I’d rather you not da da da da,’ and I could’ve put ‘pretty on fleek’ or whatever else. It was just blown out of proportion.”
If you ask us, Williams is dead wrong and petty for calling Taylor out of her name (you know you know her name, girl). As for all the legal jargon, we smell a nasty legal battle brewing …
What do you think of Williams’ latest business venture, tacky or tasteful?
