Time Square busker The Naked Cowboy is suing CBS and Bell-Phillip Television, claiming that they’ve rustled off with his brand on the soap-opera The Bold and the Beautiful and are ruining his reputation, according to court papers.
The cowboy, Robert John Burck, 40, who protects his brand like the cavalry defending a wagon train from Apaches, says that “Oliver,” a reoccurring character on the soap, dresses in briefs, a cowboy hat and acoustic guitar—Burck’s trademark uniform—and is depicted as a “fool” and acts in a “drunken and sexually charged manner,” according to the suit.
