MediaTakeOut was one of the first sites to openly accuse Kim Kardashian of staging her Paris robbery; calling her a “liar” & a “thief”, as well as suggesting she was looking to possibly cash in on insurance policies covering her expensive jewelry that was stolen.
Fast-forward to today, and MTO is now backpedaling on that theory faster than Deion Sanders in 95′, after the Kardashians attacked them with a defamation lawsuit.
After this lengthy apology, Kardashian has dropped her lawsuit against MediaTakeOut:
“MediaTakeOut regrettably published a series of false stories about Kim Kardashian West suggesting she faked the robbery in Paris, lied to authorities and then filed a $5.6 million fraudulent insurance claim for her stolen jewelry. MediaTakeOut knows that Mrs. Kardashian West was in fact robbed in Paris. We have permanently removed from our website any and all posts that suggested she staged the robbery, lied about it to the French police and committed an insurance crime.
“We sincerely apologize to Mrs. Kardashian West and her family for the false stories we published and regret suggesting that what happened to her in Paris was anything less than horrific.”
Had it gone through; this lawsuit would’ve probably been massive enough to force MTO to close it’s doors, or at the very least; drastically change the way it operates. They’ve published some reaching stories, but to be so direct suggesting Kim staged this horrible event (even if it was a popular conspiricy) was pretty dangerous & irresponsible…even for them.
