“Kim Kardashian has filed a lawsuit against the gossip website Mediatakeout.com after it alleged that she faked having her jewellery stolen in Paris to cheat insurers out of millions.
A suit filed in New York said that “after having been the victim of a horrific and traumatic armed robbery in France, Kim Kardashian returned to the United States only to again be victimised, but this time by an online gossip tabloid that published a series of articles in early October 2016 referring to her [as] a liar and thief”.
The articles “claimed, without any factual support whatsoever, that Kardashian faked the robbery, lied about the violent assault, and then filed a fraudulent claim with her insurance company to bilk her carrier out of millions of dollars”, it added.
“Defendants’ malicious publication of the articles, which paint the victim of a serious crime as a criminal herself, is libellous per se.”
The reality TV star, 35, who was in the French capital for fashion week, was robbed on 3 October by five men posing as police officers.
Kardashian was tied up and locked in a bathroom while a ring worth about €4m (£3.6m) and a case of jewellery with a value of €5m were taken.
Two mobile phones were also stolen during the robbery at the property in the Madeleine district of Paris, near the city’s main department stores.”*
