Eminem has requested a protective order against The Real Housewives of Potomac stars Gizelle Bryant and Robyn Dixon as part of an ongoing trademark dispute.The case began earlier this year when the US rapper filed an opposition to a trademark request for the Reasonably Shady podcast hosted by the reality TVstars.The rapper – real name Marshall Bruce Mathers III – argued in documentation that his brand would be “damaged” if they were granted the trademark for their show, because he is known under the monikers Slim Shady and Shady.The rapper also owns the trademark for the term “Shady” for use on merchandise.Bryant and Dixon responded by asking the court to dismiss the rapper’s opposition and insisted that he be deposed, meaning he would have to testify under oath or by written statement.Eminem reportedly filed the protective order earlier this month in an attempt to avoid an in-person deposition.According to a filing seen by People, it would be “unduly burdensome” for the rapper to be deposed due to his “limited knowledge of the subjects at issue”.The filing suggested that someone else who has a “superior knowledge to Mathers on the relevant topics” might be a better alternative, including Eminem’s longtime manager Paul Rosenberg.The documents also argued that the motion was “premature and procedurally improper,” as they “have yet to serve” Mathers.In a statement shared to People, Bryant and Dixon’s attorney Andrea Evans said: “It seems obvious to us that if you file a lawsuit, you should be made available to be deposed.”Evans added that their team would “like to question Mathers at least about his use of the expressions Slim Shady and Shady”.“It’s unclear to us that Mathers can be the owner of the trademarks and file

Eminem files opposition to ‘Reasonably Shady’ podcast trademark
Eminem has filed an opposition to a trademark request for the Reasonably Shady podcast.The rapper has argued in documentation seen by Page Six that his brand would be “damaged” if Real Housewives Of Potomac stars Gizelle Bryant and Robyn Dixon were granted the trademark for their show.Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III, claimed in the opposition filing dated February 14 that it could “cause confusion in the minds of consumers” who have known him by the monikers of Slim Shady and Shady since the late ’90s.The rapper owns the trademark for the term “Shady” for use on merchandise.Bryant and Dixon filed their trademark application weeks before Mathers’ objection with the intent of using “Reasonably Shady” on merchandise including water bottles, lip gloss, sweatshirts, hats, jackets and socks.Their podcast, which covers topics ranging from relationships to style, celebrated receiving five million downloads in less than two years last week.Bryant and Dixon are required to respond to the filing by March 26.In other news, Eminem‘s younger brother has shared what it was like growing up with the rap sensation, describing him as “the best role model”.Nathan ‘Nate’ Mathers opened up about his upbringing on the Just A Little Shady podcast, hosted by the latter’s daughter, Hailie Jade.The brothers have the same mother but are 14 years apart, meaning that Nate is closer in age to Jade, who was two when he was 12.“Nate is my uncle – my dad’s younger brother – but also we kind of grew up together because Nate lived with us for a while when I was young,” Jade said (via HotNewHipHop).“I would say brother-uncle, you definitely act younger than your age.
