The Doors Issue Cease & Desist To Kendall & Kylie Jenner; Call Them “Attention-Seeking Missiles Who Crave Celebrity”

Earlier this week, Kendall Jenner and her baby sister, Kylie Jenner, unveiled a series of vintage t-shirts bearing legendary rock and hip hop stars and placed them on sale for $125. These weren’t the average tees you’d get at the merch table at a rock concert, however. The shirts featured the Jenner sisters’ faces and logos plastered over the faces of Tupac Shakur, The Notorious B.I.G, KISS, Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica and more. Needless to say, many celebrities and their fans weren’t feeling it.

 

Sharon Osbourne and Kelly Osbourne took to social media to voice their frustration. Biggie’s mother, Voletta Wallace, did the same, also threatening legal action against the sisters if they didn’t stop production of the shirts. The Doors immediately went the legal route, serving the sisters with a cease-and-desist.

 

Jeff Jampol, manager of the Doors and the Jim Morrison estate, completely destroyed the Jenners for their unauthorized use of the band’s likeness on their merchandise.

 

“This is a case of people who fashion themselves as celebrities who are famous for being well-known but don’t actually do anything trying to utilize and steal and capitalize on the legacies of those who actually did do something and created amazing art and messages,” Jampol says. “It’s ironic, at least, and criminal, at worst, both morally, ethically and artistically.”

 

The drag didn’t stop there, however. He continued to let the sisters have it, saying,  “They’re obviously attention-seeking missiles who crave celebrity and being well-known but don’t actually do anything. It’s the polar opposite of the artists that they’re trampling all over. It’s just spitting in the face and on top of art and message and soul and legacy.”

 

Jampol says that the surviving members of the group had absolutely no contact with the Jenner clan.

 

The sisters have since released identical apologies via social media and promised to remove the nearly sold-out shirts from their website.
