Model & Reality Star Kim Kardashian May Press Charges Against Flour Bomber
Last Thursday, in what’s quickly become the biggest news to spread in reality land, model and reality star Kim Kardashian was ‘flour bombed’ on the red carpet when a young anti-fur activist tossed a bag of the white stuff over her head.
Shortly after the incident, which was at a charity event, Talent Management thought she seemed to take the attack in her stride, having reportedly said: “That probably is the craziest, unexpected, weird thing that’s happened to me. Like I said to my makeup artist, I wanted more powder and that’s a whole lot of translucent powder right there.
However, it seems the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star has changed her tune somewhat having now had time to mull over the embarrassing incident.
Curvy model Kim told E! News that she’s considering taking action against the flour-bombing lady in question: “I said earlier no I wasn’t [going to file a complaint]. I am just going to think about it, because I don’t want someone to think they can really get away with that. So we are going to handle that.”
So why the change of heart? Apparently, Kim felt the drama drew attention away from ‘Dress For Success’; the charitable organisation the event was benefiting.
“I was laughing it off earlier and, you know, I think that is the only thing I knew how to do at the time. But I just think it is such a shame that someone like that…would ruin an event, or attempt to ruin an event, that was based around, not only my fragrance, but this organisation, Dress For Success. I mean that’s what the event was about. These women flew in from all over the country to be a part of this event, that are underprivileged women, that really got the shine taken away from them a little bit. That’s why I am calling in now. I feel bad that it was kind of derailed from that.”
Kim was also concerned over the idea that the flour could have been a more dangerous substance: “Now that I think about it and had some time to digest it, ‘what if that was some other substance? What if that person had a dangerous weapon?’ It’s scary. And what’s even scarier is this woman acted as if she was a part of the press. She just came out of nowhere! And so we are definitely changing things up a little bit, amping up security, taking some measures, and…I’m gonna definitely deal with it because it is not acceptable.”
Meanwhile, animal rights group People for Ethical Treatment for Animals (PETA) denies being involved in the attack but has reportedly offered to pay the flour-bomber’s legal fees, should the case go to court.
A spokesperson for PETA told Celebuzz: “We don’t believe Kim would be so shortsighted as to go after this woman, but if she does, we’ll definitely look at how to maximise exposure to the cruel fur industry, and that could mean defending the activist if she wishes.”
Talent Management wants to know what you think…was the unidentified flour bomber right to make a statement against fur wearer Kim, or was she wrong to detract attention from the charity event?
