Fox Anchor Suing Hasbro Over Toy Rodent She Says Stole Her Likeness

Harris Faulkner: six-time Emmy winner. Definitely not a hamster.

Posted: 09/02/2015 02:57 PM EDT | Edited: 09/02/2015 03:08 PM EDT
Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner sees herself in a toy hamster. And she's not playing around.

In a lawsuit filed Monday in U.S. District Court in New Jersey, Faulkner alleges toy manufacturing giant Hasbro stole her likeness to make a toy hamster of the same name for its "Littlest Pet Shop" line in 2014, going so far as to mimic the six-time Emmy-winning reporter's "traditional professional appearance."


The suit, which Courthouse News reports is seeking $5 million in damages, calls out similarities between Faulkner and the toy in terms of "complexion, the shape of its eyes, and the design of its eye makeup" as evidence for the identity theft.

The suit notes that it's "demeaning and insulting" to portray Faulkner as a hamster. The toy is also labeled a "choking hazard," the suit says, distressing Faulkner for being wrongly associated with possibly "harming small children."

Is she wins this, Barry Rozner has an airtight case against the makers of the Monchichi. He looks more like one of those (similar hairline) that she looks like that.

Anna Kendrick might have a case against Disney for Chip and/or Dale.

Read the Yahoo story. The toy's actual name has Harris Faulkner in it. She might actually win this.

What's even funnier is that in the yahoo article Hasbro is only pissed the the lawsuit claims the toy is a choking hazard... "our toys meet all safety standards".... lol. Damn.

This story is made up right? Fox News doesn't have any anchors who aren't blonde.

Exactly!!!! never heard of her and I would BET, the guy or girl who designed the character has no idea who she is....

Hope they counter sue her for fees and some other bullshit.
