Dua Lipa Sues Samsung Over Alleged Unauthorized Use of Her Photo on TV Packaging

The dispute tests the limits of control over a star’s image on retail packaging.

Overview

  • Dua Lipa filed a federal case in Los Angeles accusing Samsung of putting her image on television boxes without her consent.
  • Her complaint seeks at least $15 million over the alleged misuse of a backstage photo taken in 2024 that is registered in her name.
  • Her lawyers say a request to halt the use in June 2025 did not stop sales of the boxed TVs in the United States.
  • Samsung told reporters the image came from a content supplier with supposed permissions and said it is open to a constructive resolution.
  • The filing cites social media posts from fans who said they bought a Samsung TV because her picture appeared on the box.
