Kim Kardashian has debunked the claims
The infamous Kardashian revealed that she wore the dress for a total of four minutes, after which it was carefully taken off her by professionals. She said,
“I showed up to the red carpet in a robe and slippers, and I put the dress on, on the bottom of the carpet, then went up the stairs. I probably had it on for a total of three minutes, four minutes, and then I changed at the top of the stairs”
She was asked if the rumors about her damaging the dress are true, to which she replied, “No”. She also appreciated Ripley’s for their help in getting her into and out of the dress.
