Kim Kardashian Suing Walmart, Amazon, Others Over Dupe SKIMS

Kim and the rest of the Kardashian clan don’t mess around when it comes to their highly successful businesses, and some are about to find out the hard way. According to a new report, the veteran reality star filed an explosive lawsuit on Friday, October 17, accusing several online vendors, from Walmart to eBay, of selling counterfeit SKIMS apparel, which is confusing some of her loyal customers. The lawsuit comes days after the “All’s Fair” actress launched a new piece from her collection—thongs with faux pubic hair—that sold out within hours.

Kim, 44, has filed a lawsuit, coming for some of the world’s most popular e-commerce websites, including Amazon, eBay, Walmart, and others, according to a report from TMZ.

Based on the legal documents, the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star is hoping to block the above sites from allegedly selling dupes of her successful clothing line, SKIMS, and gather the profits they’ve already made on previous sales.

It’s unclear how much Kim is seeking in the suit, and it doesn’t reveal how much SKIMS might’ve lost; however, the legal docs reveal that the athleisure wear brand is valued at $4 billion.

And Kim is no stranger to facing legal troubles, as SKIMS was the subject of a lawsuit in 2024, according to The Blast.

A plaintiff filed the suit against the company last year, accusing SKIMS of secretly accessing her device after she visited the website in 2023 and later tracking her moves with spyware systems.

Years before that, Kim was accused of exploiting a cosmetic company with her line, KKW Beauty. The lawsuit claimed that the reality star infringed on another trademark and intentionally confused customers. Kim’s team, however, fired back, claiming she had no intention of deceiving the public.

“Considering Kardashian’s fame and access to over 100 million social media followers, no rational inference can be drawn that she would need or want to trick the public into associating her products with Kjaer Weis in order to gain exposure or traction,” the documents read.

Kim’s SKIMS brand first launched during the COVID-19 pandemic, offering women shapewear that fits a range of bodies and skin tones. Since its launch, the business has skyrocketed, expanding its offerings and producing products for men.

During a previous interview, Kim explained why SKIMS meant so much to her, describing the brand as basically “a part of me.” She went on, “I take it really personally. It started off of my body and my shapes, and it’s very vulnerable.”

SKIMS continues to grow in popularity, and earlier this week, the Kardashian fandom was working overtime to support Kim’s latest offering—thongs with faux pubic hair. For those unfamiliar, the brand released a line of 12 faux pubic hair thongs in various colors, featuring both straight and curly hair textures.

The underwear sold out within hours, surprising even Kim herself. “I’m shocked,” the mother of four said. “It got so much attention — we’ve been laughing and talking about it all day long.”

The company also joked about the new product on Instagram, sharing cheeky videos and captions. “With this iconic new panty, your carpet can be whatever color you want it to be!” one post read, according to E! News.
