Kim Kardashian West withdraws lawsuit over Paris robbery claim
n Kim Kardashian West began a lawsuit against a gossip website for saying that she faked the Paris robbery
in which she lost millions of dollars’ worth of jewellery
and was left bound and gagged by her attackers. The
defamation suit was filed in New York against Media
Take Out and its founder Fred Mwangaguhunga. Media Take Out ran a series of stories claiming Kardashian
West faked the robbery, lied about the violent armed
assault and then filed a fraudulent claim with her insurers. The lawsuit described these as ‘outrageous claims’
and stated that the website had ignored repeated requests for retractions and apologies. Kardashian West
has now dropped the lawsuit after the website retracted
the claims and issued an apology, accepting that there
was no doubt the robbery was real and apologising for
any hurt caused.
