Samsung Electronics on Tuesday denied claims by British pop singer Dua Lipa that the South Korean tech giant used her image on television packaging without permission, saying the image was used with authorization obtained through a content partner.
Lipa's legal team filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for Central California last week seeking more than $15 million in damages, accusing Samsung of violating copyright, trademark and publicity rights laws.
Samsung Electronics rejected the allegations of "intentional misuse" of Lipa's image.
"Ms. Lipa's image was used in 2025 to reflect the content of our third-party partners that is available on Samsung TVs and was originally provided by a content partner for our free streaming service, Samsung TV Plus," Samsung said in a statement.
Dua Lipa sues Samsung for $15m over use of her image on TV boxes

Lipa alleges that Samsung prominently used a photograph of her face without consent on television models sold in the US, according to a lawsuit filed on Friday in California.
Samsung's packaging was "designed to improperly capitalize on Ms. Lipa's hard-earned success to promote and sell Samsung's products", the filing said.
Samsung denied the allegations, telling the BBC the image was provided by a third party and "used only after receiving explicit assurance from the content partner that permission had been secured".
