KIM Kardashian has been slammed for tampering with another A-list icon’s clothing back in 2019.
It comes after she faced backlash for appearing to have damaged Marilyn Monroe’s $5M dress.
After new photos emerged showing damage to Marilyn Monroe’s dress after 41-year-old Kim wore it to the Met Gala in May, fans noticed that it wasn’t the first time that she has tampered with a legendary item of clothing.
In 2019, Kim purchased her then six-year-old daughter North a custom velvet jacket worn by Michael Jackson.
The reality star then had the iconic garment altered so that it would fit North, and could be lengthened as she got older.
The jacket was so famous because the singer wore it to Elizabeth Taylor’s 65th birthday party in 1997 and then to a screening of Ghost.
Kim paid $65, 625 at auction for the piece of pop culture history before taking it to a tailor.
On her Instagram Stories at the time, she shared a picture of the jacket and wrote: “North is a really big Michael Jackson fan and we knew she would love this.”
“We won this on an auction for Northie for Christmas.”
However, fans, already disgruntled after Kim wore Marilyn Monroe’s iconic dress, shared their opinions about the decision to alter The King Of Pop’s jacket.
‘SO UPSET’
One snarked: “She’d probably turn [Kurt] Cobain’s cardigan into a dish towel,” referring to the legendary Nirvana frontman.
“Another reason I can’t stand them,” wrote another.
A third suggested: “Michael would be so upset if he knew.”
‘DESTROYED’
As if Kim’s decision to wear Marilyn’s dress to the Met Gala wasn’t already controversial enough, the reality star was met with fresh criticism this week after new photos showed damage to the gown’s shoulder strap.
The images came after a video showed a room full of people where the dress lives at Ripley’s Believe or Not in Orlando, Florida trying to help Kim squeeze into the dress before the Gala.
Despite losing 16 pounds to try to fit into it, she was forced to leave the back of the gown open to avoid ripping.
However, fans were not pleased after the video emerged, and they claimed that she had “destroyed” the timeless outfit.

The dress achieved its fame and value after the late Hollywood star wore it to sing Happy Birthday Mr President to John F Kennedy at Madison Square Garden in 1962.
Kim wore it as she made her appearance at the Met Gala along with all the other women in her family and her boyfriend Pete Davidson, 28.
