Kim Kardashian Addresses Damage to Marilyn Monroe's Dress
The iconic 1962 Jean Louis gown, which last sold for $5 million at auction, showed a significant tear on the right strap, missing crystals, and stretching along the back seam after Kim Kardashian wore it.
Kim Kardashian faced scrutiny while taking a lie detector test on Monday when her All’s Fair co-star Teyana Taylor questioned her about the alleged damage to Marilyn Monroe’s dress worn at the 2022 Met Gala.
Tense Moment During the Interview
Teyana Taylor asked twice, “Did you whoop Marilyn Monroe's dress?” Kim, 45, remained calm and answered firmly, “No.”
Teyana pressed further: “So you're saying that it got to you already whooped?” Kim replied, “I don't know how it got to me, but it's perfect now.”
Insuring the Priceless Dress
When Taylor asked about the dress’s condition during the fitting, Kim eventually joked,
“You're gonna cost me like $10M in insurance. Let's move on!”
Validation of Her Truthfulness
After this moment, producer and star Kim turned to the polygraph examiner Stephanie Jackson, who confirmed:
“All of it is true.”
This exchange reveals the tension and concern surrounding the preservation of a historic and valuable garment.
Summary: Kim Kardashian denied damaging Marilyn Monroe's famous gown but admitted the insurance costs and acknowledged the dress needed repairs after she wore it to the Met Gala.
