Reality TV star Kim Kardashian, who was a few days go robbed at gunpoint in a posh Paris hotel, has sued a news website. Kim and her attorneys have sued website mediatakeout.com for carrying reports that she staged her own robbery. The website founded by founder Fred Mwangaguhunga claimed that Kim lied about the entire incident.
According to media reports, in the suit Kim and her team said that MTO published various articles about Kim faking it. The suit added that MTO had no facts to support that Kim ‘faked the robbery, lied about the violent assault, and then filed a fraudulent claim with her insurance company to bilk her carrier out of millions of dollars.’
"Defendants' malicious publication of the articles, which paint the victim of a serious crime as a criminal herself, is libelous per se," it further read.

Kim was reportedly held up at gunpoint, tied up and locked in a bathroom of her Paris hotel room, and she was robbed of jewellery and other items.
"Defendants published the articles under patently false and misleading headlines stating, in no uncertain terms, that Kardashian ‘staged' a robbery and committed a federal crime by engaging in insurance fraud," the suit said.
