    1. Her team must be feeding her delusions and self-importance. I guarantee no one bought a TV because her image is on the box. Ok…maybe one person. Probably more if there was an image of her box on the box.

    2. Why are people in the comment section defending Samsung? 😅
      Samsung could’ve just used another unknown model and she asked them to take it down first. Shows that a lot of people have little idea about their rights.

    3. Everyone in this comment section knows if they were Dua Lipa, they'd do anything. What she's doing is noble. It's a friendly reminder to everyone in the world that you can't just used a photo that isn't yours and print it on something that you're going to sell. YOU CAN'T DO THAT. Don't even bother trying to fight it lol…She will get it….probably more

    4. Wow so many of these comments are so off base. I guess you all are fine with companies using your image or one of you and your kids on their products without permission?

    5. There are instances of Korean companies using misleading branding in overseas
      markets to appear Japanese.
      They probably realize that Japanese citizenship is the best in Asia.
      🇯🇵

    6. Dua lipa has her own lawsuit against her so she might be running low for her own supply and she hasn't had any recent super hits so she needs other source of income😂😅🥴

    7. the man who put her photo couldn't know who she is, she is so greed😂 I will buy a Samsung TV because of its specs and performance and because I love Samsung of course not because of her, I can buy a high – end Samsung TV even if they put a po*op photo on it🤣

    8. its crazy how a lot of yall are defending a multibillion dollar corporation over a human being and her consent and rights. id sue them for MORE if they used my face without my knowledge. Dua Lipa is completely in the right on this, yall. NO ONE should be allowed to use your image to sell ANYTHING without your knowledge or compensation. protect your rights, image and privacy above all else

    9. I think everyone is missing the bigger picture. You are not allowed to use someone's face without written
      consent and make money of it or let alone advertise it.

    10. Makes me laugh that this woman managed to become famous in the first place, she's the definition of mediocrity.

    11. As she should… these companies trying to get Over and profit on someone WITHOUT their permission. There ARE logistics in entertainment/arts. Any image is own by the creator or the one who OWNS the rights to. You don't own an image shot by a photographers Just because it's of you unless, as l said, you buy the copywrite for usage from the photographer. There are nuances to this as well where a usage agreement can be tailored for both involved. If you're not aware of visual image rights, look up ASMP…especially for those who Think They Own a photograph that was made of them.
