Kim Kardashian Addresses Damage to Marilyn Monroe's Dress
The iconic 1962 Jean Louis gown, last auctioned for $5 million, suffered noticeable wear after Kim Kardashian wore it at the 2022 Met Gala. The dress had a sizeable tear in the right strap, several crystals were missing, and there was stretching around the back seam.
Lie Detector Confrontation with Teyana Taylor
On Monday, Kim Kardashian faced questioning while strapped to a lie detector during a conversation with her All's Fair castmate, Teyana Taylor. The 34-year-old singer-actress pressed Kim on whether she had damaged Marilyn Monroe’s dress.
'Did you whoop Marilyn Monroe's dress?' Taylor asked twice during the Vanity Fair video.
Kardashian, the 45-year-old SKIMS CEO, firmly denied the accusation both times.
Persistent Pressure
Teyana Taylor pressed further:
'So you're saying that it got to you already whooped?'
‘So when you tried it on, what was the dress giving?’
Kim responded with ambiguity:
'I don't know how it got to me, but it's perfect now.'
Break in Composure
After twice denying damage, Kim’s composure cracked with a laugh:
'You're gonna cost me like $10M in insurance. Let's move on!'
Truth Confirmed by Polygraph
Kardashian then turned to polygraph operator Stephanie Jackson to verify her honesty, to which Jackson confirmed:
'All of it is true.'
Kim Kardashian acknowledges possible impact on the dress but insists no lasting damage remains, confirmed by a polygraph test.
