00:00 one interviewer to another.
00:01 I like for it to flow very naturally.
00:04 It's kind of like going on a date.
00:06 You don't have to like me,
00:06 but you don't have to say anything either.
00:08 These celebrities can't stand Hailey Bieber.
00:10 Manny MUA, known for being an expert in the beauty industry.
00:14 His YouTube channel has millions of followers
00:17 and he has become a trailblazing figure
00:19 by breaking gender norms
00:20 and supporting the LGBTQ+ community.
00:22 My name is Manny MUA and I am a YouTuber.
00:25 I'm a beauty YouTuber, as you can see the glam on the face.
00:28 However, one of his viral videos took a different turn
00:32 as he threw some serious shade
00:33 at Hailey Bieber's makeup vlog.
00:35 In the video, Manny humorously applies
00:37 a minimal amount of makeup,
00:38 stating that he would do the same if he looked like Hailey.
00:41 And like, I wanted to find my own thing.
00:42 So it was definitely really hard in the beginning,
00:44 but they finally came around.
00:46 This lighthearted tot caught the attention of many
00:48 with users applauding Manny for his wit and sarcasm.
00:51 Some even joined in on the fun by commenting
00:53 on Hailey's already flawless skin
00:54 that needs little to no correction.
00:56 This is not the first time Manny has used his platform
00:59 to make a statement.
00:59 Through his makeup tutorials and reviews,
01:01 he often challenges societal norms
01:03 and encourages self-expression
01:05 regardless of gender or sexuality.
01:06 It's no wonder why he has gained such a loyal following
01:09 in the beauty community.
01:10 And that's fine.
01:11 Like, you can wish that all you want,
01:12 but that's just not the case.
01:14 Hailey Bieber found herself in hot water in 2022
01:16 when entrepreneurs Pernod Cattel and Phoebe Vickers
01:20 filed a trademark infringement lawsuit against the model.
01:23 So an eight-year-old fashion brand by the name Rode
01:27 sued her for trademark infringement.
01:29 Cattel and Vickers are co-founders
01:31 of the clothing brand Rode,
01:33 which was founded in 2014
01:34 and bears the same name as Bieber's skincare line.
01:37 The business owners claim
01:38 that she is causing marketplace confusion
01:40 standing in court documents for people.
01:42 The law on this is clear.
01:43 You can't create this kind of brand confusion
01:45 just because you want to use your name.
01:46 I will, and I would, but for right now,
01:49 it has not been the case and it hasn't been needed.
01:52 They went on to add, "What Ms. Bieber is doing
01:54 is harming a minority co-owned business
01:55 that two women have painstakingly built
01:57 into a growing global brand."
01:59 It seems Hailey Bieber has learned the hard way
02:01 that sharing is not always caring,
02:02 especially when it comes to brand names.
02:04 The model has been accused of causing confusion
02:06 in the marketplace with her skincare line,
02:08 which shares a name with clothing brand Rode.
02:10 But let's take a step back and appreciate the irony here.
02:12 In an industry where every star
02:13 wants their name plastered on products and lines,
02:15 Hailey chose to use her own name for her brand.
02:18 You have to commend her for that,
02:19 even if it did lead to a lawsuit.
02:21 However, this situation raises an important question.
02:24 Is it fair for celebrities to use their names as branding
02:26 when it risks causing confusion in the marketplace?
02:28 After all, they are not the only ones
02:30 who put in the hard work and effort
02:31 to build a successful business.
02:33 Coteau and Vickers, the co-founders of Rode,
02:35 have put their heart and soul into creating a global brand,
02:39 only to have it potentially overshadowed
02:41 by Bieber's skincare line.
02:42 Like, yeah, I get there's pains to it.
02:44 There's a lot of growing pains.
02:45 There's a lot of learning pains.
02:47 This isn't just about a celebrity
02:48 using their name for branding purposes.
02:50 It's also about supporting small businesses
02:52 and respecting the hard work of entrepreneurs.
02:54 Wendy Williams went in on Hailey Bieber
02:56 following her nuptials to Justin Bieber in 2018.
02:59 - People Magazine is reporting that they got married
03:01 last Thursday at a New York City courthouse.
03:03 - On an episode of her talk show,
03:06 The Wendy Williams Show, Williams criticized the model
03:08 for getting married young and threw shade
03:10 at the newlyweds for not signing a prenup.
03:12 There's no prenuptial agreement, she quipped.
03:14 He's worth $265 million and she's worth $2 million,
03:17 but in the name of religion, I guess it's all good,
03:19 she said, throwing a dig
03:21 at the pair's Christian-based faith.
03:23 - Oh, and there's no prenuptial agreement.
03:25 He's worth $265 million and she's worth $2 million.
03:30 - Williams then attacked the star's father
03:31 for allowing her to marry the pop star.
03:33 Hailey was 21 years and Justin was 24 years at the time.
03:36 Williams may have taken a jab at Hailey Bieber's marriage,
03:39 but let's be real here.
03:40 What else is there to do on a talk show
03:42 besides throw shade?
03:43 In all seriousness, though,
03:44 Williams' comments bring up an interesting conversation
03:47 about the societal expectations surrounding young marriages
03:50 and prenuptial agreements.
03:51 It's not uncommon for people to get married
03:53 in their early 20s,
03:54 especially if they've been dating for a while.
03:56 And while it may seem like a reckless decision to some,
03:58 others see it as simply following their heart
04:00 and wanting to start their lives together
04:01 sooner rather than later.
04:02 And as for the lack of a prenup, maybe it's not a bad thing.
04:05 Maybe Hailey and Justin have enough trust in each other
04:08 to believe that their marriage will last forever,
04:10 no matter what happens financially.
04:12 Or perhaps they just don't see the need for one
04:13 at this point in their lives.
04:14 After all, love should be the foundation of marriage,
04:17 not money.
04:18 But anyway, that is all for today.
04:19 Thanks for watching.
