Respect M.E. Legal Trouble
Recently though, the Missy Elliot clothing line has been making headlines for less than desirable reasons. Apparently, the Queen of Denmark, Queen Margarethe II, felt that the brand logo for the Respect M.E. fashion line was much too similar to the royal emblem. The Danish Royal family has since moved to threaten legal action against Adidas and the Respect M.E. line unless the logo is resigned. In regard to this incident, Missy Elliot has come out to claim that there was never any intention to neither imitate nor resemble the Danish Royal crest. All similarities were purely coincidental. Nonetheless, to avoid lawsuits from Denmark's royalty, the sportswear giant and Missy Elliot are poised to come up with a new emblem for their stylish brand.
