Kim Kardashian sues gossip site MediaTakeOut over reports saying she faked Paris robbery

Kim Kardashian is suing a gossip website that claimed she completely faked the terrifying Paris robbery in which she was held at gunpoint earlier this month.

In a suit filed in Manhattan Federal Court Tuesday, Kardashian says MediaTakeOut.com “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.”

In fact, Kardashian’s suit emphasizes, five men bound her hands and legs and duct-taped her mouth, keeping a gun pointed at her, while stealing $6.5 million in jewelry.

Kardashian’s lawsuit cites three allegedly libelous articles.

It notes the first one, published on Oct. 3, came “only hours after Kardashian had suffered through the trauma and indignity of being robbed and assaulted in Paris.” That story was headlined “New Evidence Suggests… Kim Kardashian ‘STAGED’ The Robbery… Just Like RYAN LOCHTE!! (Here Are The FACTS) #KimRobbery.” It falsely claimed that there were inconsistencies in Kardashian’s account of the stick-up, her suit says, adding that the article relied on random people on social media as its sources.
