Kroma v. Krohma

Kim Kardashian pregnant

MUA Lee Tillett claims that the Kardashians stole her cosmetics line's name Kroma (without a "h").  She is suing for $10 million damages.
Meanwhile, Lee's attorney Elliot Gipson claims Kim - who says she came up with the name [Khroma] herself - was aware via her placement agents TLK Fusion of a 2010 deal to ensure product placement for Kroma on an E! Entertainment show Kim was due to produce.
He said: "On or about May 2010, representatives for Tillett and TLK Fusion were engaged in discussions regarding the possible product placement of the KROMA cosmetics line on the television reality show special 'The SPINdustry' that was scheduled to air on E! Entertainment Television following an episode of 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians'."
I don't put it past Kim to steal the Kroma name.  Remember how the Kardashians appropriated Monica Botkier's handbag designs for Sears's Kardashian Kollection?
