The clothing company Rhode NYC states in this same statement that Hailey and her business could easily end all the hard work they have put in so far.

The lawsuit states that the court's intervention is necessary because Hailey Bieber is a celebrity with more than 45 million followers on Instagram and that, through her husband's social networks, which has 243 million Instagram followers, she has generated 1.5 million likes with a single publication.

Also, in their statement, Khatau and Vickers say that the model already tried to acquire the trademark of the designer duo in 2018 and, when they refused, went ahead with the launch without changing the name.

“Hailey could choose any brand for her skincare line.

We only have the brand, Rhode, that we have built.

That's why we didn't sell it to him when he asked us four years ago, and why we're asking him now to rebrand his skincare line,” they explain.

In their letter, the couple of designers affirm that they feel “admiration” for the model and for what she has achieved, and that they see as something completely legal that this brand creates, and that in fact, rather than sue her, they would have liked to “celebrate” her. , being all “entrepreneurial colleagues”, wish her “much success”.

However, they also explain that they hope the lawsuit will prosper despite the fact that, they think, they know that Bieber never wanted to harm them by using that same name.

Personally, it is not being a good time for Hailey either, who has seen how Justin Bieber, whom she married in 2018, has seen how he has had to postpone his concert tour in the United States due to facial paralysis.

The singer posted a video on his Instagram account explaining to his 242 million followers that he had been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome and showing how it had affected the mobility of his face.
