- Court documents filed in December 2020 revealed that JLM Couture claimed rights to the name “Hayley Paige” and all derivatives, and also control over social media accounts such as @misshayleypaige, as per a signed employee agreement, which gave the company exclusive rights to use Hayley’s name for bridal-related products.
- In March 2021, a preliminary injunction was upheld by the court, preventing Hayley from using her former name Hayley Paige in any business context, including on her @misshayleypaige social media account.

After announcing the change, she expressed her gratitude to supporters who helped find her “silver lining” amidst the legal challenges.
