Laura Lee's Sin Bin - Beaut D
Published 4 weeks ago
Description
A luxury penis cream company is suing Brad Pitt because his skincare brand changed its name to “Beau Domaine,” which the penis cream people say sounds too much like their own brand, “Beau D.”
Yes. This is real. Somewhere in California, a room full of lawyers had to seriously discuss penis cream branding strategy.
The company behind the lawsuit, Beau D., says Pitt’s rebrand could confuse customers and damage their identity in the marketplace. Because apparently there’s a major overlap between people shopping for anti-aging grape extract moisturizer and people thinking, “Wait… is this the luxury genital paste company?”
Beau D. reportedly tried three times to settle things privately before filing suit, seeking over $75,000 in damages and demanding Pitt stop using the name entirely.
The company’s founder insists this isn’t about publicity, which is a bold statement from a brand whose website reportedly features a sperm-shaped cursor.
Meanwhile, Brad Pitt has not publicly commented, which is probably wise, because there is absolutely no dignified way to begin a sentence with:“So about this penis cream situation…”
