Kim Kardashian's L.A. SKIMS Store Drama Ends In Felony Arrest

Mess with Kim Kardashianand learn the hard way!

The business mogul's Los Angeles store was defaced by a vandal who inscribed unprintable names on the walls, and they have now suffered the consequences of his actions.

Kim Kardashian's SKIM brand recently reached a new valuation of $5 billion after it secured $225 million in a funding round led by Goldman Sachs Alternatives earlier this month, indicating a $1 billion raise from the company's previous $4 billion value.

The West Hollywood store walls were covered in black words from the vandal, in which some read "Kimmy Bread" and "We Need That." Kim's legal team immediately swung into action by approaching the police about the development.

A statement from the West Hollywood Sheriff Department revealed that a thorough investigation has commenced into the vandalism that occurred in the early hours of the morning.

The office declared that an unidentified male was arrested in connection with the issue and was tagged with felony vandalism for causing more than $400 in damages.

The station added that their attention was brought to the graffiti by a bystander, and things have now gone back to normal in the store. As for the graffiti, TMZ confirmed that it has been cleared from the store's white walls.

Kim's brand has gained momentum online over the years, although her physical stores have significantly increased in number across America. In August, The Blast shared that multiple opinions trailed the release of her face-sculpting compression.

The brand has claimed the products can help tighten the jaw overnight, while providing enough collagen to the skin to slow down aging.

Since this advertisement gained ground, medical and beauty experts have come to discredit the claims, noting that the wrap does not make permanent structural changes to the face.

While the temporary solution it reportedly offers was described as encouraging, medical experts warned that unsupervised regular use may cause skin irritation or temporary muscle discomfort.

"Prolonged use might also alter resting jaw posture, especially if the fabric pushes the jaw backward or upward unnaturally," the expert added, emphasizing that joint misalignment or clenching may also occur.

While several celebrities and medical experts continued analysing Kim's face wrap, her mother and manager intensified her will to look just like her beautiful daughter.

Sources close to the manager revealed that Kim's face has been on Kris's moodboard for years, and she was set to do the same procedures her daughter did years ago. She also plans to get her boobs perky with a surgical lift just like her billionaire daughter.

As shared by an insider: "What Kim has done, Kris wants it, too. She thinks the world of Kim and follows her every move when it comes to cosmetic changes." The 70-year-old has stayed transparent about her love for cosmetic procedures as one of the major drivers of her youthful looks.

Kim faced a significant bout of lashings and outrage in January for making an Instagram post about SKIMS winter sales right in the middle of the Los Angeles wildfires.

The mogul's post was spotlighted by comedian Meredith Lynch, who came out to condemn the actress for selfishly placing her brand before America's interests. Lynch noted that while LA is feeling pangs of the raging fire, it remained business as usual for the 45-year-old.

"Kim Kardashian, who has these huge reaches, who has such a base in Los Angeles, it is wild to me that they're not like, 'hey let me use my platform to put out as many resources as possible,'" the comedian added in her rant.

The writer advised the billionaire's legal team to take down the post and focus their energy on sharing resources with the affected families. On the other hand, Kim's sister, Khloé Kardashian, took a different approach to the fires by soliciting help for the firefighters on her social media channels.

"If you're interested in donating to my neighbor, who is going to Costco tomorrow to pick up rotisserie chickens and sides to deliver to several stations, you can Venmo: @sean-whitley," Khloé explained in her post.

When the brand was released in 2019, the mother-of-four noted that she had to make her wardrobe nightmare into something very beautiful through different, versatile pieces, including bodysuits and bras.

Elle shared that Kim mentioned how much of a hassle it was to cut up old shapewear to make them work with her outfits. In her words:

"I would put on something, and it would have a seam up the front. And you'd wear something tight, and so you'd always see the line going up the front, and it would look just like underwear."

She explained that SKIMS was then born to provide a seamless experience for the wearer and make things really comfortable. Kim achieved this by carefully researching the best fabrics for the skin and had numerous people test out her invention.

Since birthing SKIMS, the actress has now intensified efforts to ensure her kids stay on the path of embracing body confidence. She added that training her daughters and sons to be active and honest about their day-to-day activities through her own actions will go a long way in sustaining positive change in her family.
