Gizelle Bryant & Robyn Dixon Battle Eminem

Gizelle Bryant and Robyn Dixon are taking on Eminem in a battle between two reality stars and a rap icon. The stakes are high as Gizelle and Robyn have found themselves in the crosshairs of none other than Eminem. The two women own a podcast called Reasonably Shady, and their plan is to trademark the name. However, their plans seem to have hit a snag as Eminem has gotten involved. To everyone’s surprise, Eminem is taking offense to Gizelle Bryant’s and Robyn Dixon’s goals regarding their podcast.

Both Gizelle Bryant and Robyn Dixon are members of The Real Housewives of Potomac, and have their own podcast together. The name of the podcast, Reasonably Shady, didn’t cause any controversy on its own until recently. The legendary rapper Eminem has recently gotten his legal team involved, as he believes that the name of their podcast is too close to his own trademark. In his earlier days, Eminem was windy popular for his alter ego, Slim Shady. The alter ego also goes by just Shady. Either way, Eminem feels like people will get the rapper’s persona and the podcast mixed up.

Gizelle Bryant and Robyn Dixon have fought back against Eminem’s claims. They are arguing that the names are not that similar and that no one will mistake the podcast for being affiliated with the rapper. While the podcast name does include the word “shady,” there is no other resemblance between their show and Eminem’s trademark. The rapper does not want the pair to be able to sell any merchandise relating to the show with the Reasonably Shady trademark. Gizelle and Robyn are now also getting involved legally.

The term “shady” is a popular one among the hip hop community. While some may be able to see where Eminem is coming from, others believe that he may be over protective of his success. The battle has left Gizelle Bryant and Robyn Dixon frustrated, as they had no intention of infringing on Eminem’s trademark. However the legal battle turns out, the reality stars have no intention of ceasing their podcast.
