Heiress "Instagram influencer" whose parents are accused of paying a $500K bribe to get her into USC has trademark application rejected for punctuation errors

I kinda feel:

  1. She probably had no idea about the bribe and she’s probably right, it is her mom and dad’s fault.

  2. At the same time, it seems unlikely that a 19 year old with no acting or music career or any other reason for the public to know who she is would have a career as a social media influencer and her own line of cosmetics at Sephora if not for who her parents are. (I know, I know, there ARE some social media celebrities who pull this off but they are a tiny, tiny percentage of the people who try.)

So I figure #1 and #2 cancel each other out. It’s a wash.

(Edited to change “who her parents were” to “who her parents are” because the former sounded kind of morbid).
