Nikki Sixx Kicks Vans in Court
Nikki Sixx spoke only to Celebrity Justice, ecstatic over his recent victory in court. He talked to us just hours after the jury's verdict Wednesday.
He told us he had to put his foot down when it came to shoemaker Vans Incorporated, who used his picture without his permission.
"Somebody has to stand up, and I was willing to spend my own money and my own time to stand up for myself and other people," Sixx told us.
The legendary bass player for Motley Crue, which made rock history with hits like "Kick Start My Heart," told CJ that his pulse started racing when he saw his photo used without his permission in a Vans ad in the extreme sports magazine Thrasher.
Sixx said he had no choice but to sue, and not just for his own image. "Mostly you find that people just let it go," Sixx said. "With me and the guys in Motley Crue, we've been standing up for our rights and hopefully we're standing up for other people's rights too."
