Luke Combs apologizes to fan sued over merchandise featuring his face.
Luke Combs issued an apology following a lawsuit against a fan selling merchandise featuring his face on Amazon. Combs, addressing the issue via TikTok, expressed dismay and took responsibility, stating his unawareness of the situation. Nicol Harness, the sued fan from Tampa, had sold only 18 Luke Combs-themed Tumblers when she faced the lawsuit. Due to legal processes in Illinois, Harness missed the lawsuit served via email, resulting in a default judgment of $250,000 against her.
Harness, recovering from congestive heart failure, was shocked by the legal ordeal. Combs clarified that his actions were intended to target large illegal businesses, expressing regret at Harness’s inadvertent involvement. He extended an apology, expressing sorrow for the distress caused, vowing support for her medical bills. Combs planned to create a tumbler to sell on his website, donating the proceeds to Harness.
Furthermore, Combs invited Harness and her family to a show to personally apologize. He emphasized his dismay at being perceived negatively and reassured his fans, promising updates on the situation. The country music star aimed to rectify the misunderstanding and support Harness during this difficult time.
