Eminem is suing two Real Housewives over a podcast
Robyn Dixon and Gizelle Bryant from The Real Housewives of Potomac have a podcast called "Reasonably Shady" that sounds a little to close to trademarks the rapper has for "Shady" and "Slim Shady."

A MARTÍNEZ, HOST:
Good morning. I'm A Martínez. Eminem is in a new feud, and he's suing. This time, his beef is with Robyn Dixon and Gizelle Bryant from the TV show "The Real Housewives Of Potomac" over their podcast "Reasonably Shady." Em's lawyers argue the pod's title is a little too close to the trademark the rapper already holds for Shady and Slim Shady. Reps for the green-eyed bandits say Dixon and Bryant plan to defend their podcast name. Real housewives versus a rapper? I'd volunteer to host that reunion show.
It's MORNING EDITION.
