- Bolden says that the experience has been “willful, intentional, and purposeful, in disregard of indifference” to his rights, and that as a direct and proximate cause of the infringement of his copyright and exclusive rights under copyright, he is entitled to damages and any profits made off of the post.
- Though it was never posted on the SKIMS profile, TMZ noted that Bolden is also suing SKIMS, Kim’s shape-wear line, alleging that the two profiles are linked.
