The social media guru asserts that Marilyn Monroe was unknown to many until Kim Kardashian wore her garment to the Met Gala in 2022.
Asking the fashion mogul, “We were just talking, you said you were shocked on TikTok, some people don’t even know who Marilyn Monroe was,” the host of NBC’s Today Show questioned him.
“I was so happy to at least have that opportunity and that Ripley’s gave me the opportunity to share this moment so that it could live on,” the founder of SKIMS stated in response to the claim. “That was the most shocking thing to me.”
“What is more American than Marilyn Monroe singing ‘Happy Birthday’ to the president?” she said, going on to say that because the theme was “American.”Whatever the case, Kim faced backlash after dropping 16 pounds to fit into Marilyn Monroe’s renowned “Happy Birthday Mr. President” dress. Many criticized the 43-year-old for allegedly causing damage to the historic clothing, an assertion that Kim vehemently refuted.
