Kim Kardashian is facing a lawsuit from the Judd Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the legacy of artist Donald Judd, over allegations of featuring counterfeit Judd furniture in a YouTube video. The lawsuit, filed in a California federal court, accuses Kardashian of false endorsement for allegedly promoting imitation Judd tables and chairs as authentic in a video tour of her skincare company’s offices.

The complaint argues that Kardashian’s statements in the video misled viewers into believing she owned genuine Donald Judd pieces, leading consumers to falsely associate her and her brand with the esteemed Judd Foundation. Despite attempts at resolution, including demands to recycle the fake furniture, remove the video, or release corrective advertisements, Kardashian and Clements Design, the interior design firm behind the replicas, allegedly ignored these requests.

The case highlights the complexities of intellectual property rights and the impact of celebrity endorsements on brand integrity and legacy preservation. As of now, representatives for Kardashian and Clements Design have not responded to the allegations.
