Dua Lipa is set to take legal action against tech giant Samsung after accusing them of using her image to sell televisions without permission. The pop star, 30, is suing for £11,000,000 after claiming they used her face on cardboard TV boxes as part of a ‘mass marketing campaign’. Court filings state the Houdini singer had ‘no say, control, or input whatsoever’ over the use of her photo in the campaign for Samsung’s Crystal 43in ultra-high- definition sets to promote their XITE Hits music channel. The complaint adds: ‘Ms Lipa did not allow and would not have allowed this use.’ Dua is seeking $15,000,000 (£11,000,000) in damages. She claims to have only found out about the use of the image after the products were already on sale. A legal team representing the singer have also criticised Samsung for being ‘dismissive and callous’ when asked to stop using the photograph. They also argue that social media comments from fans of the pop star mean Samsung benefited from believing she had backed the product. The complaint even includes social media comments from fans who intended on buying the TV because of her apparent involvement, with one writing on X: ‘I wasn’t even planning on buying a TV but I saw the box so I decided to get it.’
