TikTok videos of animal dolls are no fun for toymaker who is SUING social media account
The viral clips of Sylvanian families drinking, dealing drugs, arguing and cheating on their partners have become fan favourites on TikTok. But the melodramatic vignettes, which include a mouse relapsing on ketamine and a hedgehog drink driving, could be a thing of the past. The scenes posted under the username Sylvanian Drama on social media, feature storylines starring Sylvanian Families figures and have racked up more than three millions followers on TikTok and Instagram. But now the mastermind behind the viral videos is under attack after the Japanese maker of the toys, Epoch Company, filed an infringement case in the US, claiming the videos have caused 'irreparable injury' to its reputation. In response, the owner of the account, Thea von Engelbrechten, from Ireland, filed a counternotice claiming her works were 'parody'. The small velvet animal toys first launched in 1985 with characters including dogs, bears, foxes and penguins. The plush toys live in mansions and houses filled with sumptuous furniture and gorgeous decor. While they were originally marketed as children's toys, the viral videos have significantly darker, more adult themes with skits captioned with 'My marriage is falling apart' and 'Your daughter has been kidnapped'. The videos, posted on Instagram, YouTube, X, Facebook and TikTok have millions of views and the account has even partnered with luxury brands from Marc Jacobs, to Burberry, and Hilton for advertisements. Court documents filed by Epoch with the southern district of New York on July 4, first reported by the BBC, accused Von Engelbrechten of infringing the company's copyright without its permission, causing irreparable injury to its goodwill and reputation. One stated that in an interview with Fohr, an influencer marketing company, Von Engelbrechten said her inspiration for the storylines came from 'cringey TV shows and early 2000s comedy'. But Epoch alleged that, even though the creator had changed things about the toys including dressing them in 'different costumes' and adding 'fake eyelashes', the advertising deals were a form of unfair competition because they featured the toys for commercial gain without the company's permission. Epoch attempted to take down the popular social media account before and briefly got it removed last year, but it was restored after Von Engelbrecht filed a counternotice. The Daily Mail has approached Von Engelbrecht and Epoch Company for comment.

Margot Robbie and Jay Hernandez reunite to celebrate Suicide Squad co-star Cara Delevingne's birthday
Margot Robbie and Jay Hernandez reunited in Los Angeles on Monday night as they stepped out to celebrate the birthday of their Suicide Squad co-star Cara Delevingne. The A-list duo was spotted arriving at Chateau Marmont, one of Hollywood's most exclusive venues, for an advance celebration ahead of Cara's 33rd birthday on August 12. Margot, 35, looked effortlessly chic in a stylish halter neck crop top paired with baggy black trousers and open-toed heels. The Barbie star wore her blonde hair in soft waves around her shoulders and completed the ensemble with a sleek black designer handbag. Walking closely beside her was Jay Hernandez, 47, who played El Diablo in the 2016 DC film. The actor cut a dapper figure in a black button-up dress shirt, teamed with dark jeans and sneakers. The pair appeared to be in high spirits as they entered the venue together arm-in-arm, smiling and chatting as they joined the festivities. Margot is one of Australia's most renowned actresses and after getting her big break on Neighbours in 2008, she soared to fame in Hollywood blockbusters, including The Wolf of Wall Street and Barbie. It comes as Margot and her film producer husband Tom Ackerley have been settling into parenthood after welcoming a son in October. Margot's pregnancy was made public in July and the couple enjoyed a romantic 'babymoon' to Sardinia, Italy, at the end of August last year. Tom and Margot first met in 2013 while working on Suite Française, where he was an assistant director, and she was in front of the camera. They cemented their relationship after moving in together with other friends in a four bed house in Clapham, South London, which according to Margot was the 'best days of my life'. The couple later tied the knot in 2016 and have been going strong ever since. They also have a working relationship and are both co-producers on a number of projects, including Hulu's Dollface, through their production company LuckyChap Entertainment. 'I was the ultimate single gal. The idea of relationships made me want to vomit,' Margot told Vogue in 2016. 'And then this crept up on me. We were friends for so long. I was always in love with him,' she said. 'But I thought, "Oh, he would never love me back. Don't make it weird." 'Don't be stupid and tell him that you like him. 'And then it happened, and I was like, of course we're together. This makes so much sense, the way nothing has ever made sense before.'
