Kim Kardashian’s Lie Detector Denial Revives Dispute Over Marilyn Monroe’s Met Gala Dress

A Vanity Fair polygraph segment backs Kardashian’s claim that she did not damage the 1962 gown.

Overview

  • During a Vanity Fair video, Teyana Taylor asked Kardashian twice if she "whooped" the dress, and Kardashian answered no each time.
  • Kardashian declined to say who repaired any alleged issues and joked about a potential $10 million insurance risk before moving on.
  • Polygraph operator Stephanie Jackson stated that Kardashian was being truthful in her answers during the segment.
  • The dispute stems from before-and-after photos shared by historian Scott Fortner that showed missing crystals and small rips along the zipper seam after the 2022 Met Gala.
  • Ripley’s and then-executive Amanda Joiner have maintained the gown was returned in the same condition, noting a 2017 report that documented pre-existing wear and puckering.
