Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS Store Vandalized, Leads to Felony Charges
Kim Kardashian's Los Angeles-based SKIMS store recently became the target of a vandal who defaced the walls with unprintable names and other messages. The incident has since led to significant consequences for the individual involved, as the damage caused was estimated to be around $400.
The West Hollywood location saw its white walls covered in black graffiti, including phrases like "Kimmy Bread" and "We Need That." The legal team representing Kim Kardashian quickly took action by reporting the incident to the police. According to a statement from the West Hollywood Sheriff Department, an investigation is currently underway into the vandalism that occurred early in the morning.
An unidentified male was arrested in connection with the incident and charged with felony vandalism due to the damage exceeding $400. A bystander reported the graffiti to authorities, and the store has since returned to normal. TMZ confirmed that the graffiti has been removed from the store's walls.
SKIMS Faces Criticism Over New Product Launch
While the SKIMS brand continues to grow, not all of its innovations have been met with public approval. In August, the brand launched a face-sculpting compression product that claimed to tighten the jaw overnight and provide collagen to slow aging. However, medical and beauty experts have questioned these claims, stating that the wrap does not create permanent structural changes to the face.
Although the temporary effects were considered encouraging, experts warned about potential risks such as skin irritation or temporary muscle discomfort from regular use. Prolonged use could also affect resting jaw posture if the fabric pushes the jaw unnaturally, potentially leading to joint misalignment or clenching.
Kris Jenner Inspired by Kim’s Cosmetic Procedures
Despite the criticism surrounding her products, Kim Kardashian remains a major influence on her mother, Kris Jenner. Sources close to the manager revealed that Kris has long admired Kim's appearance and plans to undergo similar procedures. She is set to get a surgical lift to enhance her figure, just like her daughter. An insider noted that Kris follows Kim's every move when it comes to cosmetic changes, emphasizing her deep admiration for her daughter.
Controversy Over Instagram Post During Wildfires
In January, Kim faced backlash for posting about SKIMS winter sales during the Pacific Palisades wildfires. Comedian Meredith Lynch criticized the actress for prioritizing her brand over the needs of the community. Lynch urged Kim to use her platform to help affected families instead of promoting her products. In contrast, Kim's sister, Khloé Kardashian, used her social media to solicit donations for firefighters.
The Origins of SKIMS
When SKIMS was launched in 2019, Kim shared her inspiration for creating the brand. She described how she struggled with finding comfortable and versatile clothing that didn't show visible seams. Kim explained that she wanted to create a seamless experience for wearers, focusing on the best fabrics for the skin and involving many people in testing her designs.
Since launching SKIMS, Kim has also focused on promoting body confidence among her children. She believes that by being active and honest about her daily life, she can encourage her kids to embrace their own unique identities. This commitment to positivity and self-acceptance continues to shape her family's values.
