Only two of the original four members can still call themselves “En Vogue” … and the other two can go pound sand … this according to a judge.
According to legal docs, a judge granted “EV” founding members Cindy Herron and Terry Ellis the exclusive right to use the name “En Vogue” while performing and touring … after a long, drawn-out legal battle with former bandmates Maxine Jones and Dawn Robinson.Here’s what happened … Cindy and Terry sued Maxine and Dawn for the name plus $1 MILLION in damages back in 2012. They claimed M & D were illegally touring under the “EV” name after the band broke up … but had no right, since C&T owned the LLC. The judge recently sided with Cindy and Terry — giving them the name — but said the duo failed to prove damages, and were awarded no money. Still a pretty big victory … even more so if it was 1992.
