Oprah & Dr. Oz Suing Açaí Berries!!!

Who has the audacity and balls to screw with Oprah Winfrey?

A├â┬ºa├â┬¡ Berries, that’s who!

Several endorsements for the super berry that supposedly functions as dietary supplement, energy booster, and sexual performance enhancer, have used Oprah’s likeness and fabricated quotes from her favorite physician, Dr. Memhet Oz to peddle their products.

Well, it’s all a sham and O has had enough!

She and Dr. Oz are suing 40 companies either selling açaí or related products with their name endorsements on them.

In an interview, Dr. Oz explains:

“Many Americans have seen images of me, and Oprah and others supporting, it would appear, products that actually don’t work in the ways that are described. And more importantly, when consumers trusting us try to buy these products over the Web, what they end up getting are fake products, pills that don’t really have what’s promised in them. They’re often duped into paying more than they should. If my picture is next to a product, endorsing it and supporting your purchase of it, I did not give them permission.”

They’re all about protecting the people and their money-making names!

We’d love to see what these companies come up with to try and wiggle out of this lawsuit. Won’t matter, because no matter how good their lawyer might be, Oprah’s will be 10 times more expensive knowledgeable.

Sucks to be them.
