Kim Kardashian claims people ‘didn’t know’ who Marilyn Monroe was before she wore her dress.
The dress was first worn first in 1962.
Kim Kardashian has claimed that a lot of people only found out about Marilyn Monroe after she wore her dress to the Met Gala back in 2022.
Kardashian reportedly lost 16lbs to fit into Monroe’s famous “Happy Birthday Mr President” dress, which later sparked a debate about whether she had damaged it. The reality TV star denies this.
While appearing on NBC’s Today Show, the 43-year-old said she was shocked at how many people knew nothing about the actress.
“We were just talking. You said you were shocked on TikTok. Some people don’t even know who Marilyn Monroe was,” said host Savannah Guthrie.
In response, the mother of four said: “That was the most shocking thing to me, and that’s why I was so happy to at least have that opportunity and that Ripley’s allowed me to share this moment so that it could live on.”
The famous dress was worn by Monroe in Madison Square Garden in 1962, just three months before her death. While President John F. Kennedy branded her rendition of Happy Birthday as “wholesome,” a large number of people thought it was inappropriate and innately sexual.
Kardashian has been slammed for choosing to wear the one-of-a-kind dress, with many suggesting she was only doing it for the clout. But as she told Guthrie, she understands “how much this dress means to American history.”
People have known about Marilyn Monore since she became famous and still know of her today before Kardashian wore that dress. I was disgusted that she was allowed to wear it, and I don't like any of the Kardashians. They only became famous because their father helped someone get away with murder!
