The dress-up runway game favoured by fashionable gamers has been hit with a lawsuit for allowing players to perform a viral dance emote originated on TikTok.  On TikTok, user Kelley Heyer created a dance for the Charli XCX song Apple. Known as the “Apple Dance”, this dance went all over the internet, eventually ending up on Dress to Impress.  Kelley Heyer sues Roblox for Apple Dance emote  On April 11, 2025, via Polygon, Heyer filed a lawsuit against Roblox after the dance was added to the game without permission.  Heyer’s lawsuit reveals that she was in talks with the game to add the emote to Dress to Impress on April 12, 2025. However, the game released the emote before negoations were finished to tie into a new Charli XCX collaboration within the modelling game mode.  “Roblox moved forward using Kelley’s IP without a signed agreement,” said Heyer’s attorney Miki Anzai. “Kelley is an independent creator who should be compensated fairly for her work and we saw no other option than to file suit to prove that. We remain willing and open to settle and hope to come to a peaceful agreement.” At the time of writing, the Apple Dance is no longer available to purchase in Roblox, but it’s estimated to have earned over $123,000 in its short availability.  “As the Apple Dance emote comprises solely of the Apple Dance choreography, completely separate and distinct from the Charli XCX song, the sole ‘artist’ for purposes of the emote is Ms. Heyer,” the attorney stated.  This isn’t the first time the Apple Dance has been added to a video game either. Heyer’s choreography was added to Fortnite alongside Charli XCX’s music, and no lawsuit was filed, although the game has been in trouble for using other dances without permission.  Roblox Platform(s): Android, iOS, macOS, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X Genre(s): Action, Adventure, Arcade, Board Games, Card, Casual, Educational, Family, Fighting, Indie, Massively Multiplayer, Massively Multiplayer Online, Platformer, Puzzle, Racing, RPG, Shooter, Simulation, Sports, Strategy Related Topics Subscribe to our newsletters!
