Kim Kardashian West suing online media outlet

New York — Kim Kardashian West is suing an online media outlet, saying she was wrongly portrayed as a liar and thief after she was attacked in Paris.

The lawsuit in Manhattan federal court seeks unspecified damages from MediaTakeOut.com. It says Kim was victimised a second time when the website reported that she faked the robbery and lied about the assault.

The website's owner didn't answer his phone when comment was sought on Tuesday. A message left with the website wasn't immediately returned.

Police say armed robbers forced their way into a private residence where the 35-year-old was staying on 3 October, tied her up and stole $10m worth of jewellery.

No arrests have been made.
