Oprah Winfrey’s Harpo Inc. company has a message for a podcasting production: “O, no, you don’t.”
The talk show host’s company is suing the podcasters who created “Oprahdemics,” which purportedly celebrates all things Oprah.
The trademark infringement lawsuit was filed in Manhattan Federal Court and claims the podcast leads listeners to believe it is endorsed by Winfrey, which is not the case.
Kellie Carter Jackson and Leah Wright Rigueur are using the Oprahdemics name on the podcast and also for live events, Harpo alleges, pointing to a recent Tribeca Film Festival presentation.After that, Jackson and Rigueur hosted another event on Instagram Live in July, according to the complaint.
“Over the past thirty-five plus years, the Oprah brand has become well known and famous,” Harpo wrote in court papers. “Simply being associated with the Oprah brand has, in many cases, led to an exponential increase in a...

Oprah Winfrey is so famous that she’s on a first-name basis with people across the globe — and many people recognize her brand by just the first letter.
Harpo Inc., which owns her trademarks, carefully vets any licensing opportunity. Now it’s taking a podcasting duo to court over what it says is an unauthorized attempt to capitalize on “The Oprah Effect.” Harpo Inc. is suing Kellie Carter Jackson and Leah Wright Rigueur over their Oprahdemics podcast.
Roulette Productions launched Oprahdemics in March and ended its first season with a live show at the Tribeca Film Festival in June. Its key art, which is embedded below, includes a dictionary-style definition of the term — defined as “the study of the Queen of Talk” — as well as a large O and the outstretched arms of a woman. The defendants also operate oprahdemics.com and multiple social media sites.
