It's simply not possible to go through a 24-hour news cycle without mentioning the Kardashians. This time, however, the news isn't all that good for Kim Kardashian West and her KKW Beauty company.

KKW Beauty is reportedly being sued by its contract manufacturer Seed Beauty, after Coty confirmed that it is in talks with Kardashian West regarding a possible collaboration.

Seed Beauty, the Oxnard, CA-based maker of color cosmetics and skin care products for a range of beauty companies, has asked a judge for an injunction to block KKW Beauty from revealing trade secrets and business practices to KKW Beauty, according to TMZ.

As widely reported, Coty is negotiating with KKW Beauty regarding a "possible collaboration with respect to certain beauty products.” Coty already owns a 51% share in Kylie Jenner’s beauty brands Kylie Cosmetics and Kylie Skin.
