According to Temu, the issues they were dealing with concerning Shein needed legal attention. Temu’s parent company, Whaleco, filed a lawsuit against Shein. This story has grasped the attention of many of their customers and is being followed on the news.

Temu officials are airing out all of Shein’s dirty laundry in this case. According to the company, Shein was using “mafia style intimidation tactics” against their suppliers who they believed were also working for Temu. Shein was also threatening these people but they deny all of these claims. In retaliation, Shein sued Temu for allegedly getting influencers to belittle Shein on social media.
