Eminem Files for Protective Order in 'Shady' Trademark Clash with Potomac Housewives
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Entertainment Tonight

Eminem has filed for a protective order to avoid a personal deposition in a trademark dispute with 'Real Housewives of Potomac' stars Gizelle Bryant and Robyn Dixon over their Reasonably Shady podcast. Eminem's legal team argues that his appearance would be unduly burdensome and suggests alternatives like his manager Paul Rosenberg for the deposition. Bryant and Dixon's attorney, Andrea H. Evans, criticizes the move, stating that Eminem should not be exempt from deposition obligations. The outcome of the protective order could set a precedent for future trademark opposition cases.
