Kim Kardashian’s Shady Empire: A Look At All the Sketchy Products and Deals the Kardashians Have Backed
By Hayley Phelan Wednesday, Nov 16, 2011 / 7:35 PM
Yesterday, we reported that Skechers could pay up to $75 Million for claiming that their Shape-up shoes would “tone” and strengthen legs and butt. It wasn’t exactly surprising and turned out to be yet another addition to the list of shady products that Kim Kardashian has tied her name to.
Based solely on her business dealings, the girl has a seriously bad habit of lending her name to scams, counterfeits and other dubious business going-ons. Of course, her 72-day marriage and rampant overexposure don’t exactly help her case for business integrity.
We did some digging and found out that, in total, Kim’s name has been attached to at least nine shady business deals over the past couple of years. From lying about sponsored tweets to kopykat issues, click through for a look back at Kim’s shadiest endorsements.
