We received this email on 3/21. Totally forgot to post. Lots are asking it appears to be true that the Something About Her trademark is In Penny’s name.
Subject: Something About Her Trademark
Spill It to BravoandCocktails.com:
Not sure what the current relationship is between Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney and Chef Penny of Something About Her. However, according to the US Patent website, Chef Penny and her husband handled the trademark for Something About Her. This could be a good thing or bad thing – I TRULY know no further information!

I know nothing about trademarking or the food industry but why would the owners of the restaurant not have the trademarks in their name?
Yikes! This is not smart of Katie and Ariana. I thought Chef Penny was a paid consultant, not partner. Sounded like Katie and Ariana chose the name, theme and all. Did Chef Penny get a cut of the merch as well? No wonder she was taking lead at the interview, despite the girls side eye I wonder if she is as important as the guy who was the lease holder, the Toms had to contend with…
Why would they let someone have their name. I think this is chefs place and their pretending their place and getting a cut
Katie said on the after show that they are opening very soon. I want this to be true so bad! I hope they are on a good terms with Penny
They are probably the primary investors.
Oh my god that is a horrible business decision. Why would you allow anyone else to take a trademark on your business? Or use someone else’s? 🤦♀️
