Kim Kardashian's appearance at a Paris court hearing regarding her robbery case has sparked a social media frenzy, not for her testimony, but for a courtroom sketch that many find unflattering.
Despite meticulously crafting her image with stylish attire and hair, the sketch, intended to provide media with visuals in the absence of photography, has drawn amusement and criticism online. Users have questioned the artist's portrayal, with some suggesting a deliberate attempt to sabotage her image.
Comments range from humorous disbelief to outright shock, with one TikTok user calling it a "nightmare image." This isn't the first time Kardashian has been the subject of unflattering courtroom sketches. The Daily Mail has noted a "curse" of unflattering courtroom art for the Kardashian family, recalling a similar incident in 2022 during a trial involving Blac Chyna.
While the sketches have generated considerable online buzz, legal recourse is unlikely. Under freedom of the press laws, courtroom drawings are protected, even if deemed unflattering or intentionally caricatured.
