Lexi Love Trademark Clash: Drag Queen Loses Stage Name to Former Adult Star's Legal Threat

Drag performer Clair Barnes loses rights to stage name ‘Lexi Love’ after trademark dispute with former adult actress Selena Scola.

RuPaul's Drag Race finalist Clair Barnes has been forced to give up her stage name 'Lexi Love' after a legal complaint from a former adult entertainer with a long-standing claim to the trademark.
