Rappers and Real Housewives are two camps accustomed to big jewelry, verbally destroying their peers, and legal disputes but rarely do the two worlds converge.
說唱歌手和《真實主婦》是兩個陣營,他們習(xí)慣于大珠寶、言語上摧毀同齡人,以及法律糾紛,但這兩個世界很少融合在一起。
But The Real Housewives of Potomac stars/Green-Eyed Bandits Gizelle Bryant and Robyn Dixon are now in a trademark battle with Oscar-winning curmudgeon and noted lyrical assassin Eminem.
但《波托馬克河的真實主婦》的主演吉澤爾·布萊恩特和羅賓·迪克森現(xiàn)在正與奧斯卡獎得主、脾氣暴躁、著名的歌詞殺手艾米納姆展開一場商標(biāo)大戰(zhàn)。
Earlier this year, Page Six reported that Bryant and Dixon filed to trademark their podcast's name, Reasonably Shady, which Eminem quickly opposed, claiming his own brand would be "damaged" and that two Shady brands would “cause confusion in the minds of consumers.”
今年早些時候,《第六頁》(Page Six)報道稱,布萊恩特和迪克森申請將他們的播客名稱“合理的Shady”注冊為商標(biāo),但艾米納姆很快表示反對,稱他自己的品牌會“受到損害”,而且兩個Shady品牌會“給消費者帶來困惑”。
Fans of the 51-year-old rapper, real name Marshall Mathers, have known him as Slim Shady and Shady since at least his 1999 breakthrough second studio album, The Slim Shady LP. Eminem also owns the trademark to "Shady" for use on merchandise.
這位51歲的說唱歌手真名馬歇爾·馬瑟斯,至少從他1999年發(fā)行第二張突破性的錄音室專輯《the Slim Shady》開始,他的粉絲們就知道他是“Slim Shady”和“Shady”。阿姆還擁有“Shady”的商標(biāo),用于商品上。
Housewives are never ones to shy away from a fight, so Bryant and Dixon asked for Eminem's opposition to their trademark to be denied. The rapper's lawyers then claimed the Potomac podcasters “remain insistent on deposing" their client and are now seeking “a protective order precluding the deposition of Marshall Mathers.”
家庭主婦從來不會回避爭吵,所以科比和迪克森要求拒絕艾米納姆對他們商標(biāo)的反對。這位說唱歌手的律師隨后聲稱,波托馬克的播客“仍然堅持要求”他們的客戶“作證”,現(xiàn)在正在尋求“阻止馬歇爾·馬瑟斯作證的保護令”。
Eminem's lawyers also argued that it would be “unduly burdensome” if he were to appear in court and claimed he has a “limited knowledge of the subjects at issue.” Which is basically the legal version of "I don't know her."
埃米納姆的律師還辯稱,如果他出現(xiàn)在法庭上,將是“過度的負(fù)擔(dān)”,并聲稱他“對爭議主題的了解有限”。這基本上就是法律版的"我不認(rèn)識她"。
Bryant and Dixon started their Reasonably Shady podcast in 2021 and it became the center of a controversy in the Real Housewives multiverse when Dixon admitted on a pod episode she knew about her husband's alleged infidelity ahead of shooting season 7 of the reality show.
布萊恩特和迪克森在2021年開始了他們的播客《合理的陰暗》,當(dāng)?shù)峡松凇墩鎸嵵鲖D》第七季拍攝前的一集播客中承認(rèn)她知道丈夫的不忠行為時,這個播客成為了《真實主婦》多重宇宙中爭議的中心。
In an interview with Dixon on Watch What Happens Live, Housewives whisperer Andy Cohen said she "withheld the truth" and then sold it "behind a paywall." Meanwhile, Dixon's marital issues and her subsequent withholding of the truth are currently playing out on the current season of The Real Housewives of Potomac.
在接受迪克森的采訪時,《家庭主婦耳語者》的安迪·科恩說,迪克森“隱瞞真相”,然后“在付費墻后面”出售。與此同時,迪克森的婚姻問題和她隨后對真相的隱瞞正在本季的《波托馬克的真正主婦》中上演。
It's doubtful, however, that Eminem will make a cameo.
然而,艾米納姆是否會客串還是個疑問。
