Kim Kardashian is furious over In Touch Weekly‘s cover and story for this week and she says she’s going to take legal action.
Running the cover line “Stop The Wedding! Kim Caught Cheating!” the magazine says New England Patriots safety Bret Lockett claims to have had a 5 month long affair with the reality TV star while she was dating her-now fiance, Kris Humphries.
The 30 year-old star says it isn’t even close to being true – she’s never met Lockett!
“This is absolutely not true,” Kim told E! News exclusively. “I have no idea who this person is.”
She even took to her blog to blast Lockett further:
“This guy should be ashamed of himself. Calling up a magazine and making up an entirely fake story in a sad attempt to ruin my relationship!?!?! It’s just shameful and this guy should feel ashamed and humiliated. Is this your pathetic attempt for attention? I’ll be damned if anyone, especially some loser I’ve never even met, is going to try to come between Kris and I.”
Kardashian’s team was informed of the story ahead of time and her lawyers warned the publication of their impending legal action should they go forward with the alleged affair story.
Kim’s lawyer, Dennis A. Roach sent the mag a letter.
Roach told In Touch Weekly to “immediately refrain from publishing, distributing or disseminating any factually untrue and unsubstantiated information” and called the allegations “at a minimum, damaging, defamatory and an invasion of her privacy.”
Kardashian leaves a parting message on her blog:
“I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again… don’t believe everything you read. The tabloids and weekly magazines will do ANYTHING to sell copies, and in this case they decided to run a false story, knowing they had absolutely no proof that it was real. It’s disgusting, and I will be taking legal action against In Touch magazine and Bret Lockett.”
This battle sounds like it’s just beginning.
