Black women are being sued into silence for defending themselves.
Bre (@breromiofficial ) invented an incredible magnetic hair clip. When she spoke up after seeing a white woman copying it and selling it online, that woman, Kursten Owen, cried victim.

Now Kursten is suing both of them.

Within 6 days of filing her lawsuit, Kursten got a gag order that even a UCLA First Amendment professor flagged as constitutionally shaky. White woman tears turned into a federal muzzle overnight.
Everything I’ve shared here is my opinion, based on publicly available information and court documents.
White women tears are dangerous. And as white women, the bare minimum is to call it out when we see it in real time. We need to recognize how our behavior upholds systems of harm, take responsibility, and choose to do better.
Kursten Owen. (Elegance and Geekery) We see what you’re doing. You may have silenced Bre and Kiandria for now — but you can’t silence all of us who watched this play out in real time. You can’t stop us from reading the public court filings, or the legal scholars calling your gag order what it is: unconstitutional overreach.
