Not again! Kylie Jenner accused of copying artist’s neon lip motif

Kylie Jenner has found herself at the receiving end of some very unflattering accusations. 

The reality TV queen has been accused of copying the artwork of British graphic artist Sara Pope in the trailer and branding of her upcoming biopic docu-series, Life of Kylie. 

The lip motif-loving star featured a neon set of lips in the trailer for her new show.

However, the distinctive design was spotted by the artist, who claims it is too similar to hers to be a coincidence. 

The artwork was created in 2015, and TMZ  claims that it has seen legal documents filed against Kylie Jenner by Sara Pope.

However, a statement given to the website claims that the trailer was made by a third party, so Kylie herself had nothing to do with the conception or creation of the graphics or images within the ad.

Kylie recently found herself in a similar situation after she and Kendall were forced to apologise to numerous musicians and the families of numerous deceased musical icons, after they used images of the musicians on a series of 'vintage-inspired' t-shits without permission.

The collection was pulled from Kendall and Kylie's clothing line immediately. 

Kylie has also previously been accused of copying other lip imagery in the past. 

In 2016, make-up artist Vlada Haggerty claimed Kylie had used her original dripping lips motif in social media imagery for Kylie Cosmetics without permission or credit. 

Kylie deleted the images, and later reuploaded them with proper crediting.
