A TikTok influencer, known for her stint on one of Gordon Ramsay’s shows, revealed that she has been threatened with a lawsuit over the name of her cookie company.
Chloe Sexton, the owner of Tennessee-based company Chloe’s Giant Cookies, says that on November 20, she received an expedited letter informing her that she was at risk of being sued by Chloe’s Cookies LLC.
Just three days earlier, she told followers that she was slated to appear on Gordon Ramsay’s Next Level Baker.
Sexton, whose business allows her to support her little sister following the death of their mother from brain cancer, said that she was being sued in a post on Facebook.
In the video, posted four days ago, Sexton said she had considered simply giving in and changing her company’s name at one point.
However, Sexton says she decided to stand her ground because she wanted to set an example to her younger sibling.
“I am also responsible for the example that is set for my little sister, and the example that I want to set is that what you work your whole life for, what you have built, is worth fighting for, especially if it is your actual name,” she said.
“I can’t say with full honesty that I know exactly what I will do because my little sister, my family, comes first, but my mother would be ashamed if I didn’t at least fight.”
Now, she and her lawyers claim that they have verified the existence of at least 25 other businesses using the words “Chloe” and “cookies” in their names, just as she does.
The cookie entrepreneur has launched a GoFundMe campaign to help raise funds ahead of a potential legal battle.
In the campaign’s description, she thanks her fans, known as “Cookie Monsters,” for supporting her through the “hardest chapter” of her life.
“You watched me lose my mom, Jenny Wren, to brain cancer,” she wrote. “You watched me step up to help raise my little sister, who is now 11 years old.
“In the middle of grief, responsibility, and uncertainty, I kept baking. I kept building. I kept believing because you believed in me.”

Sexton says the funds raised will go towards legal consultations, filings and preparations ahead of the potential lawsuit.
“This is not just about a name,” she added in the campaign description. “It is about protecting years of sacrifice.
“It is about protecting my family’s stability,” she continued. “It is about protecting a dream that so many of you helped make real.”
Influencer and author Jen Hamilton leapt to Sexton’s defense on social media, posting a fiery video on Instagram.
“Whatever Chloe decides is best, just know, I will back her a thousand percent,” she said in the video.
Sexton launched her business on TikTok during the COVID-19 pandemic, after being fired from her previous job for revealing she was pregnant.
When her brand exploded in popularity, she was signed to Gordon Ramsay’s Next Level Baker, which premiered in December 2025.
Chloe was a finalist on the show, losing out in the last episode to home baker Stefanie Embree.
The Independent has contacted Chloe’s Cookies LLC and Chloe’s Giant Cookies for comment.
