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.
The dispute has led to Barnes being removed from platforms including X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, Cameo, and music services such as Spotify and Apple Music. The former performer behind the original Lexi Love trademark, Selena Scola, says Barnes' use of the name has caused reputational damage and brand confusion.
