    Why did Beverley sue TikTok?

    Beverley filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court against ByteDance, TikTok’s parent company, claiming damages for “the emotional distress of having her likeness exploited without consent; loss of the ability to control the dissemination of her likeness; and loss of the ability to control the association of her likeness.”

    She revealed to the Insider that after a few friends and family sent her TikTok videos at the end of 2020, she recognized her voice due to the tonality and pitch.

    But she was hired previously by an “Institute of Acoustics” claiming to be based out of Scotland to do some Chinese translations. She was never informed that her voice would be used on TikTok.

    Using her voice on this social media platform was not part of her agreement and which was the reason for the lawsuit.

    Beverley also mentions that she is not suing for money but she also wants everyone to know that she works as a voice over artist every single day. She trains and teaches to get to this level and TikTok can’t just take it as this is her livelihood.

    TikTok is using her voice without acknowledging it or compensating for her work. A lot of people agree with her and they have rallied against TikTok on Facebook with the #standingwithbev.
