Kim Kardashian Addresses Alleged Damage to Marilyn Monroe's Dress
The iconic 1962 Jean Louis gown, once auctioned for $5 million, reportedly suffered damage after Kim Kardashian wore it to the 2022 Met Gala. The dress showed a sizeable tear in the right strap, missing crystals, and stretching around the back seam following her appearance.
Lie Detector Confrontation
On Monday, Kim Kardashian faced scrutiny during a lie detector test about the alleged damage. Her All's Fair castmate, Teyana Taylor, questioned her directly in a Vanity Fair interview.
- Teyana Taylor asked twice, “Did you whoop Marilyn Monroe's dress?”
- Kardashian calmly replied both times: “No.”
Teyana pressed further, saying, “So you're saying that it got to you already whooped?” to which Kim answered, “I don't know how it got to me, but it's perfect now.”
Further Interrogation
When Taylor asked about the dress condition at the time Kim tried it on, Kardashian remained mostly composed but eventually admitted the potential cost of damage:
“You're gonna cost me like $10M in insurance. Let's move on!”
She laughed after this comment, then turned to the polygraph operator Stephanie Jackson, who confirmed,
“All of it is true.”
