Tina Turner Files Lawsuit against German Company Promoting Tribute Show with a Look-Alike Performer
Legendary American singer Tina Turner has filed a lawsuit against a German company in an attempt to stop it from promoting a tribute show with her name and a look-alike performer. The 81-year-old argues that Cofo Entertainment using her name and likeness to promote the show could make people believe she has something to do with its production, DW reported.
The show in question is titled “Simply The Best — The Tina Turner Story”. And it features a Tina Turner doppelgänger by the name Dorothea “Coco” Fletcher.
Turner’s case was heard by the German Federal Court of Justice in Karlsruhe on Thursday. The Cologne Regional Court had initially ruled in favor of the What’s Love Got to Do With It singer, but her claim was later dismissed by the Cologne Higher Regional Court following an appeal by Cofo Entertainment.
