Suzette Quintanilla sues Shein over unauthorized Selena clothing

Suzette Quintanilla, sister of the late Selena Quintanilla-Perez, has filed a lawsuit against Shein for using her sister's likeness on clothing without permission. The suit claims Shein ignored a cease and desist letter and continued selling the merchandise. TMZ obtained the court papers detailing the allegations.

Oh honey, the drama in the fashion world is heating up! Suzette Quintanilla, the surviving sister of the iconic Selena Quintanilla-Perez, isn't letting fast-fashion giant Shein off the hook that easily. According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Suzette and the family's Q-Productions company, which owns and controls Selena's image, sent Shein a cease and desist letter around August 1, 2025. But did Shein listen? Nope—they allegedly kept slinging shirts and other apparel featuring Selena's face without so much as asking for permission. 😤

The lawsuit, filed recently, accuses Shein of splashing Selena's likeness all over their website's clothing items without authorization. Exhibits in the suit show t-shirts with Selena's image posted on Shein's site. Suzette is demanding the judge halt the sales immediately, hand over all profits made from the unauthorized merch, and toss in some extra damages for good measure. Messy much?

For those who need a quick refresher (because Selena's legacy is eternal 💅), the Tejano superstar was one of the most influential Latin artists before her tragic end in 1995. At just 23, Selena was shot and killed by Yolanda Saldívar, the manager of her boutiques, following a confrontation over financial disputes. Selena died at the hospital after the incident.

TMZ reached out to Shein for comment, but crickets so far. Will this put a stop to the unauthorized Selena glow-up on cheap tees? Stay tuned, because protecting icons like Selena is no small feat.
