Kim Kardashian Booed For The Second Time In Recent Memory, But This Time Had Less To Do With Tom Brady And More To Do With Wearing Marilyn Monroe’s Dress

by

As a fan who has followed Kim Kardashian‘s journey since her humble beginnings on reality TV, it’s fascinating to witness the rollercoaster ride of her fame and the controversies that come with it. The boos at the Roast of Tom Brady and the recent backlash over the Marilyn Monroe dress are just two examples of the love-hate relationship the world seems to have with Kim.

For two decades now, I’ve had the privilege of becoming a globally recognized figure like Kim Kardashian. Such fame doesn’t come without its share of detractors, and it seems they were quite vocal during an event scheduled on Netflix for 2024 – “The Roast of Tom Brady.” Unluckily for her, this wasn’t the only time boos would rain down on her that year. The organizer of SKIMS was reportedly booed again, but this time it was over the Marilyn Monroe dress she donned at the 2022 Met Gala.

Back in the day, I caused quite a buzz when I decided to don Marilyn Monroe’s iconic dress she wore to serenade President Kennedy in 1962. The anticipation started with the 16-pound weight loss I went through to slip into that gown, followed by allegations that I had harmed the priceless artifact. It seems some folks haven’t forgotten or forgiven it yet. Recently, designer Bob Mackie unveiled his new documentary called Bob Mackie: Naked Illusion, and during an interview post-screening, he was grilled about yours truly.

According to an inside source from Page Six, when asked about Kim Kardashian wearing a dress that Bob Mackie had sketched and Jean Louis designed for Marilyn Monroe, Mackie appeared hesitant and posed the question to the audience about whether they believed it was appropriate. The response, as you might expect, was a thunderous chorus of boos from the crowd.

Bob shrugged and said, ‘Wrong is wrong!’

This occasion, unlike the Tom Brady roast where you can watch the sharpest and funniest jests by subscribing to Netflix, Kim Kardashian was not physically there to experience the crowd’s harsh remarks.

Bob Mackie has openly expressed his viewpoint on the subject. After the uproar surrounding the 2022 Met Gala, the designer labeled it an “error” that Ripley’s Believe It or Not! lent out the historical artifact, stating:

Marilyn was more than just a goddess; she was an extraordinary, eccentric one. She exuded such charm and charisma that no one could capture her essence quite like her. Everything about her, including the stunning dress she wore, was tailored specifically for her uniqueness. It was as if that dress was made exclusively for her to wear.

He additionally mentioned the importance of maintaining the garment’s condition, explaining that stretching or compressing it might compromise its overall strength. Typically, artifacts such as this dress are stored under specific conditions, away from factors like light, moisture, cosmetics, and fragrances.

Kim Kardashian managed to brush off the jeers from the Tom Brady roast, so it’s unlikely she’d be overly concerned about this recent crowd backlash, given that it stems from an event that transpired more than two years ago. It remains to be seen whether either of these subjects will be addressed on The Kardashians, should the show reappear in the 2025 TV lineup.

As a devoted admirer, I’m thrilled about Hulu’s summer announcement that our favorite reality series (accessible with a Hulu subscription) is coming back for an additional 20 episodes. However, there’s been no update yet on when Season 6 will debut. Some whispers suggest that Kim Kardashian’s burgeoning acting career could potentially disrupt the family show, leading to speculation about its potential cancellation – “The Kardashians” might be in jeopardy. We’ll just have to wait and see what unfolds.
