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.
