You can’t wig out on Tyra . Tyra Banks Sues Wig Companies According to TMZ You can’t go slapping Tyra Banks’ name willy nilly on wigs — not without her slapping back with a massive lawsuit for 10 million dollars … TMZ has learned. Tyra just filed a lawsuit against 10 companies that make wigs … and in the suit she claims they’re all biting her “name, photograph, image, and identity” — as well as her trademarks.

We’re guessing it’s not actually TB’s hair you’re buying … although it does cost $300! Tyra’s lawsuit spells out just how valuable her trademark and how big a star she is — and to prove it her IMDB profile … all 11 pages of it … are attached to the suit as Exhibit A.

There is always someone out there trying to make a quick dime.
