MEET THE OTHER BENTLEY BENTAYGA
An attorney for British fashion model named Bentley Bentayga said today he will file suit against Volkswagen-owned Bentley for “stealing my client’s name” for its $235K SUV.
“They’re illegally using Ms. Bentayga’s name,” claimed Gyro Mullins, an attorney for the 24-year-old model.
“We don’t know if it’s an intentional tort,” said Mullins with a straight face. “But as soon as we figure that out, we’ll probably go after them for something, maybe infringement, unauthorized reproduction, misappropriation, or some sort of copyright violation, depending on which of those would pay more.”
“I’m really really really really totally super angry,” said Bentayga, who hails from Cornmeal-on-Fire, England. “I don’t even know why they would name their stupid car after me,” she squeaked, adding, “It doesn’t even look like me. Plus, I had the name first, I think.”
Bentley Motors was busy and couldn’t come to the phone when we reached out to them for comment.
