Kim Kardashian Addresses Alleged Damage to Marilyn Monroe’s Dress
The iconic 1962 Jean Louis gown, last sold at auction for $5 million, suffered a significant tear on the right strap, had several missing crystals, and showed stretching around the back seam after Kim Kardashian wore it.
Lie Detector Session and Questioning
During a lie detector test filmed on Monday, Kim Kardashian faced tough questions from her All's Fair castmate, Teyana Taylor, about whether she damaged Marilyn Monroe's dress by wearing it to the 2022 Met Gala.
- Taylor asked twice,
“Did you whoop Marilyn Monroe's dress?”
- Kardashian calmly replied both times,
“No.”
- Taylor pressured further,
“So you're saying that it got to you already whooped?”
- Kim answered,
“I don't know how it got to me, but it's perfect now.”
Discussion About the Condition of the Dress
When probed about the dress's condition during the fitting, Kardashian maintained her innocence but ultimately cracked a smile, saying,
“You're gonna cost me like $10M in insurance. Let's move on!”
After this, she asked the polygraph operator, Stephanie Jackson, to verify her truthfulness, to which Jackson confirmed:
“All of it is true.”
Summary
Kim Kardashian denied damaging Marilyn Monroe's historic dress despite visible wear, emphasizing the garment's current perfect condition after the controversy arose.
