FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO

Civil Action No. 1:18-cv-02268

CARMEN ELECTRA,

Plaintiff,

v.

4842 MORRISON RD. CORP D/B/A THE PLAYERS CLUB a/k/a PLAYERS CLUB; and
TWO FUSES LLC,

Defendants.

COMPLAINT AND JURY DEMAND

Plaintiff, Carmen Electra, by and through her attorneys, BURG SIMPSON ELDREDGE

HERSH & JARDINE, P.C., hereby submits her Complaint and Jury Demand against Defendants,

4842 Morrison Rd. Corp d/b/a/ The Players Club a/k/a Players Club; and Two Fuses LLC., and

alleges and avers as follows:

INTRODUCTION

1. This is an action for damages and other relief arising from the misappropriation,

misuse, and alteration of Plaintiff’s image by Defendants in order to promote their strip club,

Players Club.

2. Defendants use their Players Club website and online social media marketing

platforms to market and advertise the Players Club as being “Denver’s Best Strip Club.”

3. As a means of illustrating their claim as Denver’s “Best Strip Club” and in an

effort to drive traffic and economic and commercial benefits to the Players Club, Defendants
Case 1:18-cv-02268-WJM-KLM Document 1 Filed 08/31/18 USDC Colorado Page 2 of 15

posted pictures of many women on their website and social media platforms, including on

Players Club’s Facebook and Instagram pages.

4. To promote the Players Club, and in furtherance of Defendants’ commercial

benefit, Defendants repeatedly posted, and then maintained, on the Players Club Facebook and

Instagram pages, an image of Plaintiff, Carmen Electra altered to connect her to and associate

her with the Players Club and its events and activities, creating a false impression that Plaintiff

worked at or was affiliated with Players Club, would appear at Players Club events, or endorsed

the Players Club and its events and activities.

5. Carmen Electra is not employed by Players Club, she does not strip or dance at

Players Club, she does not affiliate herself in any way with Players Club or endorse its

promotional activities and events, and she never has.

6. Defendants did not have Carmen Electra’s permission to use her image or likeness

and never asked her for permission to use her image or likeness.

7. Defendants have not compensated Carmen Electra for the use of her image or

likeness for commercial or any other purpose.

8. Defendants knew that their use of Plaintiff’s image and likeness was

unauthorized, and knew that their use of Plaintiff’s image would cause consumer confusion as to

Plaintiff’s sponsorship, approval of, affiliation with, and/or employment at Players Club.

9. Defendants’ unauthorized use of the Plaintiff’s image, likeness, and/or identity, as

described herein, violates section 43 of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. §1125(a).

10. This action seeks all damages as compensation for Defendants’ unlawful

activities, the Defendants’ profits that are attributable to their unlawful use of Carmen Electra’s

2
Case 1:18-cv-02268-WJM-KLM Document 1 Filed 08/31/18 USDC Colorado Page 3 of 15

image, likeness, and identity, treble damages as well as attorney’s fees, all pursuant to statute,

and other such relief as would be fair and just to remedy Defendants’ unlawful acts, and to

ensure that no such violations occur in the future.

PARTIES

talent, actress, model, television personality, and businesswoman, residing in Los Angeles

County, California.

12. Defendant 4842 MORRISON RD. CORP d/b/a The Players Club a/k/a Players

Club, (“Morrison Rd. Corp”) is a Colorado corporation, with a principal place of business and

Players Club strip club at 6710 Federal Blvd. Denver, CO 80221.

JURISDICTION AND VENUE

16. Jurisdiction in this case is based upon 28 U.S.C. § 1331, because Plaintiff’s

claims arise under 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a)(1) (The Lanham Act).

17. The Court has personal jurisdiction over Defendants by virtue of their presence

and operations in Colorado, their state of creation and their principle place of business, by their

3
Case 1:18-cv-02268-WJM-KLM Document 1 Filed 08/31/18 USDC Colorado Page 4 of 15

transacting business in Colorado, and by virtue of their improper acts and violations of the

Lanham Act in this state, all of which has caused Plaintiff damages, and through regular,

continuous, and systematic contacts with Colorado such that this Court’s exercise of personal

jurisdiction over Defendants is proper, reasonable, and comports with traditional notions of fair

play and substantial justice.

18. Venue is proper in this Court because the Defendants reside in this district,

Defendants are subject to personal jurisdiction in this venue, and this district is where substantial

part of the events or omissions giving rise to the claims stated herein occurred.

6
Case 1:18-cv-02268-WJM-KLM Document 1 Filed 08/31/18 USDC Colorado Page 7 of 15

Plaintiff Is a Professional Model and Her Images Are Commercially Valuable

33. Carmen Electra, at all times relevant to the claims herein, is a professional model,

actress, recording artist, television personality, and businesswoman who earns her living by, inter

alia, acting, modeling, and selling her image to companies and individuals for the advertisement

of products and services.

34. Carmen Electra earns a living by, inter alia, promoting her image and likeness to

select clients, companies, commercial brands, media, social media and entertainment outlets for

the advertisement of products and services, as well as the promotion of her own reputation and

brand for modeling, acting, hosting, and other opportunities.

35. Carmen Electra’s career in modeling, acting, and private enterprise has value

stemming from the goodwill and reputation she has built, all of which is critical to establishing a

brand, being selected for jobs, and maximizing earnings.

36. Carmen Electra commands substantial sums of money for the licensed

commercial use of her image.

37. A model’s reputation directly impacts the commercial value associated with the

use of ones’ image, likeness, or identity to promote a product or service.

38. Carmen Electra is a professional model in the ordinary course; she seeks to

control the commercial use and dissemination of her image and, thus, actively participates in

vetting and selecting modeling, acting, advertising, brand spokesperson, or hosting engagements.

39. In the modeling industry, reputation is critical; endorsing, promoting, advertising

or marketing the “wrong” product, brand, business, or service, or working in a disreputable

7
Case 1:18-cv-02268-WJM-KLM Document 1 Filed 08/31/18 USDC Colorado Page 8 of 15

industry, can severely impact a model’s career by limiting or foreclosing future modeling or

brand endorsement opportunities.

40. Conversely, association with high-end companies, products, or magazines can

enhance and amplify a model’s earning potential and career opportunities by making a model

more sought after and desirable.

41. As set forth below, Plaintiff Carmen Electra’s image used by the Defendants to

advertise and promote the Players Club has been misappropriated and intentionally altered by or

at the direction of the Defendants without Carmen Electra’s consent for use in their online

marketing scheme designed to promote the Defendants’ Players Club business.

The Misappropriated Image

42. On August 22, 2015, August 28, 2015, August 31, 2015, and September 1, 2015,

without Plaintiff’s knowledge, consent, or authorization, Defendants posted Plaintiff Carmen

Electra’s image and likeness on Defendants’ Instagram and Facebook pages to promote

Defendants’ strip club and an “Amateur Night” event at the Players Club strip club.

43. Attached as Exhibit 1 are copies of Defendants’ use of Carmen Electra’s image

and likeness on their Facebook and Instagram social media sites, which are hereby incorporated

by reference.

44. After Defendants used Carmen Electra’s image on their Facebook and Instagram

sites, Carmen Electra discovered the Defendants’ use of her image and discovered that

Defendants were knowingly and without prior consent using her image.

8
Case 1:18-cv-02268-WJM-KLM Document 1 Filed 08/31/18 USDC Colorado Page 9 of 15

45. Defendants’ use and alteration of Plaintiff Carmen Electra’s image on

Defendants’ social media sites for the Players Club falsely implies that Plaintiff has worked for,

endorsed, or is otherwise affiliated with the Players Club.

46. Defendants’ use was unauthorized and for a commercial purpose to attract

clientele, promote the Players Club, and generate revenue for the Defendants.

47. Plaintiff Carmen Electra is readily identifiable in the misappropriated image and

Defendants could not reasonably believe that Plaintiff Carmen Electra was an employee or agent

of the Defendants or otherwise affiliated with the Defendants or the Players Club.

48. Defendants have never contacted Carmen Electra, either directly or indirectly, to

request permission to use her image, likeness, or identity.

49. Defendants never hired or contracted with Plaintiff Carmen Electra to advertise,

promote, market or endorse the Players Club.

50. Plaintiff Carmen Electra has never been employed by Defendants or contracted

with Defendants to participate in events at the Players Club.

51. Defendants never sought permission or authority to use or alter Plaintiff Carmen

Electra’s image, likeness, or identity to advertise, promote, market or endorse the Players Club.

52. Plaintiff Carmen Electra never gave permission, or assigned, licensed, or

otherwise consented, to Defendants using or altering her image, likeness, or identity to advertise,

promote, market or endorse the Players Club.

53. Defendants neither offered nor paid any remuneration to Plaintiff Carmen Electra

for the unauthorized use of her image, likeness, or identity, including on their social media sites.

9
Case 1:18-cv-02268-WJM-KLM Document 1 Filed 08/31/18 USDC Colorado Page 10 of 15

54. Defendants’ use and alteration of Plaintiff Carmen Electra’s image creates the

false perception that Carmen Electra worked for Players Club, or had consented or agreed to

promote, advertise, market and/or endorse the Players’ Club and its events to the benefit

Defendants’ commercial interests.

FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION

Violation of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a)

55. Plaintiff hereby incorporates by reference each and every allegation set forth in

the foregoing paragraphs as if fully alleged herein.

56. Section 43(a) of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a), applies to Defendants.

57. Section 43(a) of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a), protects Plaintiff from the

Defendants’ conduct described herein.

58. Defendants used Plaintiff’s image, likeness and/or identity as described herein

without authority in order to, inter alia, create the perception that the Plaintiff worked at or was

otherwise affiliated with the Players Club, endorsed the Players Club or the Players Club’s

business activities, and/or consented to or authorized Defendants’ or the Players Club’s usage of

her image in order to advertise, promote, and market the Players Club and Defendants’ business

activities.

59. Defendants’ use and alteration of the Plaintiff’s image, likeness and/or identity to

advertise, promote, and market Defendants’ business, the Players Club, and/or the Players Club’s

events and activities as described in this Complaint was false and misleading and a

misrepresentation of fact.

10
Case 1:18-cv-02268-WJM-KLM Document 1 Filed 08/31/18 USDC Colorado Page 11 of 15

60. Defendants’ unauthorized use and alteration of the Plaintiff’s image, likeness

and/or identity as described in this Complaint constitutes false advertising by suggesting or

implying, inter alia, that the Plaintiff worked at or was otherwise affiliated with the Players

Club, endorsed Defendant’s business, the Players Club or the Players Club’s events or activities,

or consented to or authorized Defendants’ or the Players Club’s usage or alteration of her image

in order to advertise, promote, and market Defendants’ business or the Players Club’s events and

activities and/or that the Plaintiff would participate in or appear at the specific event promoted in

the advertisement.

61. Defendants’ false advertising described above has the capacity or tendency to

confuse or deceive consumers, including actual and prospective patrons to the Players Club, as to

the general quality of attendees and participants at the Players Club and in its events, as well as

specifically whether the Plaintiff worked at or was otherwise affiliated or associated with or

connected to the Players Club, endorsed, sponsored, or approved of Defendants’ business, the

Players Club, or the Players Club’s events or activities, or would appear in person at the

Defendant Players Club’s events and activities, and particularly at the specific event promoted in

Defendants’ branding, advertising, and social media posts.

62. Upon information and belief, Defendants’ false and deceptive advertising

described above did, in fact, deceive and/or cause consumer confusion as to whether the Plaintiff

worked at or were otherwise affiliated or associated with or connected to the Players Club,

endorsed, sponsored, or approved of Defendants’ business, the Players Club or the Players

Club’s events and activities, or consented to or authorized Defendants’ or the Players Club’s

usage of her image in order to promote Defendants’ business or the Players Club’s events and

11
Case 1:18-cv-02268-WJM-KLM Document 1 Filed 08/31/18 USDC Colorado Page 12 of 15

activities and particularly at the specific event promoted in the Defendants’ branding,

advertising, and social media posts.

63. Among other things, upon information and belief, such unauthorized use and

alteration of Plaintiff’s image misled and served to entice consumers and prospective consumers

to visit the Players Club and participate in and attend events at the Players Club and had a

material effect and impact on the decision of patrons and prospective patrons to visit Defendants’

business establishment.

64. Defendants’ advertisements, promotions, and marketing of the Players Club and

events at the Players Club occur in and are targeted to interstate commerce. Specifically,

Defendants promote their business and events through interstate promotions and campaigns to

target persons from several different states across the United States. Defendants principally use

the World Wide Web, social media, and other vehicles of interstate commerce to advertise,

market, promote, and entice or lure traffic and patronage to their establishment.

65. Defendants’ unauthorized use of the Plaintiff’s image, likeness, and/or identity as

described herein was designed to benefit Defendants’ commercial and business interests by,

among other things, promoting the Players Club and its activities and attracting clientele to the

Players Club, thereby generating revenue for the Defendants to the detriment of the Plaintiff.

66. Defendants knew or should have known that their unauthorized use of the

Plaintiff’s image, likenesses, and/or identities would cause consumer confusion as described in

this Complaint.

67. Defendants’ unauthorized use and alteration of the Plaintiff’s image, likeness,

and/or identity, as described herein violates 15 U.S.C. §1125(a), and was wrongful.

12
Case 1:18-cv-02268-WJM-KLM Document 1 Filed 08/31/18 USDC Colorado Page 13 of 15

68. Defendants’ wrongful conduct as described herein was willful.

69. Defendants had actual or constructive knowledge of the wrongfulness of their

conduct, acted with intent to deprive the Plaintiff of her interests and rights, and further acted

with actual or constructive knowledge of the high probability that injury or damage would result

to the Plaintiff.

70. The method and manner in which Defendants used and altered the image of the

Plaintiff further evinces that Defendants were aware of and/or consciously disregarded the fact

that the Plaintiff did not consent to Defendants’ use of her image to advertise Defendants’

business.

71. Defendants have caused and will continue to cause irreparable harm and damage

to the Plaintiff, her reputation, and brand by attributing to the Plaintiff her involvement with or

endorsement of the Players Club strip club and Plaintiff’s association with events and activities

relating thereto.

72. Defendants also have damaged the Plaintiff as a direct and proximate result of

their unauthorized use of Plaintiff’s image, likeness, and/or identity without compensating

Plaintiff, thereby entitling Plaintiff to recover in money damages the actual and fair market value

of each misappropriated use of her image and likeness in an amount to be established by proof at

trial.

73. As a further direct and proximate result of Defendants’ conduct as alleged herein,

Defendants have earned and withheld profits attributable directly or indirectly to the unlawful

use of Plaintiff’s image, entitling Plaintiff to disgorgement of those ill-gotten gains in an amount

to be established by proof at trial.

13
Case 1:18-cv-02268-WJM-KLM Document 1 Filed 08/31/18 USDC Colorado Page 14 of 15

74. Defendants’ conduct was purposeful and malicious in that Defendants knowingly

violated Plaintiff’s rights solely to benefit their business, increase profits, and avoid paying

money to legally acquire the right to commercial use of the Plaintiff’s image, and consequently,

exceptional relief is warranted pursuant to 15 U.S.C. §§ 1116, and 1117(a), entitling Plaintiff to

treble damages and reasonable attorneys’ fees.

PRAYOR FOR RELIEF

WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff prays for judgment against the Defendants and each of them

for relief in amounts to be determined at trial, as follows:

1. All damages allowed by 15 U.S.C. §§ 1125, 1116, and 1117, including all actual and

consequential damages sustained by Plaintiff, including all economic damages and

losses, disgorgement of profits attributable to Defendants’ misappropriation of the

Plaintiff’s image and likeness, and well as treble damages and reasonable attorney’s

fees;

2. Pre and post judgment interest;

3. Costs and expenses, including expert fees and costs;

4. For such further and other relief as the Court deems just.

JURY TRIAL DEMAND

Plaintiff hereby demands a trial by jury on all issues so triable.
