Levi Sap Nei Thang has filed a federal lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas to address the unauthorized use of her image and name in online content.
The case, filed under Case No. 2:26-2231-HLT-ADM, seeks injunctive relief and other remedies related to alleged copyright infringement and misuse of personal likeness. The filing follows prior efforts to resolve the matter through platform-based reporting mechanisms.
The YouTube video identified in the complaint has been taken down following the copyright enforcement process.
According to the complaint, the content at issue used Levi Sap Nei Thang’s image and identity in a manner she asserts was unauthorized and misleading. She is requesting that the court prevent further distribution of the content and provide appropriate legal remedies.
“This action is intended to protect my work, my identity, and the integrity of how my name and image are used,” Levi Sap Nei Thang said.
The lawsuit has been formally filed and assigned within the federal court system. As the matter is now pending before the court, further details will be addressed through the legal process.
Levi Sap Nei Thang emphasizes that the unauthorized use of her image, name, or creative works is not permitted. Individuals and entities are expected to obtain prior written authorization before using her likeness in any form of media or publication.
Her official website outlines the terms governing the use of her intellectual property and image, including licensing requirements and potential legal consequences for unauthorized use.
Any continued or future misuse may result in legal action seeking injunctive relief, damages, and all remedies available under applicable law.
