00:00 Eminem, the iconic rapper known as the "Real Slim Shady," is pushing back against real
00:06 housewives of Potomac stars Gisele Brand and Robin Dixon's legal pursuit.
00:12 In a recent development, the 51-year-old artist filed for a protective order on December 15
00:19 in the continuing trademark dispute over the "Reasonable Shady" podcast, as confirmed by
00:24 documents obtained by an online portal.
00:26 The filing highlighted Eminem, whose legal name is Marshall Mathers III, opposing the
00:32 reality star's late October request for his personal appearance during a deposition.
00:37 Citing the "burdensome" nature of the request, Eminem emphasized his limited knowledge of
00:42 the case subjects.
00:44 As the holder of trademarks associated with Slim Shady and Shady alias extensively used
00:50 in his merchandise and music, Eminem explained that his deposition would be inconvenient
00:56 due to his restricted understanding of the contested matters.

01:06 possessing superior knowledge on the patent topics, to represent him during the deposition.
01:11 The legal documents further contended that Brand 53 and Dixon 44 prematurely filed the
01:17 motion, deeming it "procedural improper."
01:21 It was argued that they had yet to formally serve Eminem, who initially opposed the trademark
01:26 application in February 2023.
