Kim drops lawsuit over ‘faked’ claim

-

CURVY Kim Kardashian has dropped her lawsuit against a celeb website which claimed she faked her Paris robbery – after it removed the story and apologised.

The 36-year-old reality TV star ( left) was locked in a bathroom in a VIP flat in the French capital and tied up by armed robbers, who were dressed as police officers and are believed to have stolen jewellery worth $10 million (£8.2m).

Kim later filed a lawsuit against MediaTakeO­ut.com, which had reported that she faked the entire ordeal and lied about the assault.

Court documents now state that the case has been “voluntaril­y dismissed, without prejudice”.

This follows the site issuing an apology online, stating: “After speaking to sources, including some connected to the Kardashian­s, and getting further details on the events, we are now confident and without a doubt believe that Kim Kardashian was robbed as was reported to the Paris police.

“Anyone who is still questionin­g it is wrong.”

“We can understand how reports questionin­g if the robbery in fact took place can be hurtful, and so we apologise.”

MediaTakeO­ut additional­ly said it has removed posts which suggested she staged the robbery and lied to the police in a retraction notice.

Kim had filed her lawsuit in Manhattan, with her lawyers saying she was wrongly portrayed as a liar and a thief after she was attacked.
