My Chemical Romance is facing legal action over stage costumes worn by dancers during their recent concert at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. The legal push was launched by Pro Silver Star Ltd., the entity that owns the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders brand, according to Rolling Stone.
The dispute stems from the opening night of the band's Los Angeles residency on Wednesday, where the performance of the track 'Teenagers' was altered to feature dancers dressed in Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders uniforms. Court documents state that the routine featured dancers who armed themselves with rifles in a staged firefight before being depicted getting shot.
Pro Silver Star quickly filed for a temporary restraining order and an injunction aimed at barring the rock group from using the branded uniforms during their stage shows. The company claimed it initially asked the band to cease using the attire, but the band refused.
In the legal filing, Pro Silver Star argued that concertgoers and online commentators mistakenly believed the stage performers were actual Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, pointing to ongoing social media commentary surrounding the performance.
