Oprah's company sues co-hosts over podcast using similar logo

TMZ.com

You can talk about Oprah, but don't go ripping off her signature logo — that's apparently the message being sent by the media mogul herself in a new lawsuit.

The company of legendary talk show host Harpo has taken legal action against two up-and-coming podcasters who launched a series this year called 'Oprahdemics' - where they discuss all things Winfrey and review their favorite TV moments in great detail.

The two hosts are Kellie Carter Jackson and Leah Wright Rigueur, and Harpo is suing them and their production company, Roulette Productions, for trademark infringement.

According to documents obtained by TMZ, Harpo claims the women specifically use a giant "O" which Harpo says is just an attempt to confuse whether Oprah is behind the podcast.

In addition to their 15-plus episode first season — which seems somewhat successful on its own — Harpo says the co-hosts held popular IG live chats, NYC Q&As, and even got a take on 'Good Morning America'...all branded Team Oprah said violates established trademark rights.

Harpo wants a judge to step in and stop the women from building their podcast brand on the goodwill of Oprah and her company's brands...but they're not looking for money in the lawsuit .
