Imagine losing ownership of your full name as a .com - "Grandma" Heidi Powell lost hers to a celebrity trainer after a ridiculous lawsuit.

But Grandma gets the last laugh, as the celebrity trainer is now divorcing. Guess who won't be needing that name anymore!

It is not unusual for them to keep the name, especially if so much is vested in the brand.

Recons - still, the irony is paramount.

Don't see any irony though. She should have never gotten the name. Other than that, probability of a celebrity couple divorce is 90%+.

The irony is that truly that name is "gone" via the divorce settlement. The bitter taste of using your ex's last name overpowers any existing branding. Not sure what is her maiden name.

Excellent! Those 'celebrities' should have never been given the name...hope their divorce is as messy as mine was! I hope the real Heidi gets her name back as she well deserves.

If fitness HeidiPowell changes her name back to HeidiLane, does grandma HeidiPowell have an legal recourse to reclaiming the domain back? Perhaps if not via UDRP, maybe an appeals court?

I don't think so. I believe all appeals were exhausted. BUT it'd be a fun moment if "Grandma" filed a UDRP! :-D

Someone bought heidilane. It’s in privacy so not sure who the buyer is. My very educated guess says that if the fake Heidi Powell wants the domain, she’ll have to give the real Heidi Powell her domain back ;)

I sent her this 4 days ago, I guess she won't respond anytime soon. This case totally enraged me honestly. It was my white rhino and I pledged to Heidi the domain will be hers once again.
