Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders sue MCR over mock appearance in LA
New York Post • • general
Key Points:
- The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders' owner, Pro Silver Star Ltd., filed a temporary restraining order and injunction against My Chemical Romance (MCR) for using lookalikes in blue-and-white uniforms resembling the cheerleaders during a staged shootout at their Hollywood Bowl concert.
- The lawsuit alleges MCR degraded the DCC brand by having performers dressed in similar uniforms carry rifles and participate in a simulated gun battle, misleading fans and social media users into believing they were actual Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.
- The legal filing requests only that MCR refrain from using the DCC uniform during performances, emphasizing that alternative costume designs are available and the uniform is federally registered.
- Despite a cease-and-desist letter sent on October 22, MCR continued the performances, with additional shows scheduled at the Hollywood Bowl later in October.
- My Chemical Romance has not yet commented on the lawsuit or allegations.
