A third wrote: “This woman has no individuality, artistic integrity, and of course, no talent. She’d be an idiot to sell this (she’s an idiot anyway) but I really cannot wait for the backlash. Leave Marilyn tf alone, she’s been through enough and she’s still not respected.”
Another simply said: “She is SO opportunistic it’s repugnant.” Other people commented on the quality of the dress,slamming it as “ugly” and describing the fabric as “awful.”

When fans talk about the “destroying” they are referring to the damage that Kim inflicted on the famous dress when she wore it to the Met Gala last year. Kim opened up about the “damage” that s he caused last year on the Today show “We keep seeing stuff like, ‘The dress is ruined’… All of that is not true?”
Kim replied: “No. Ripley’s [and I] worked together so well; there were handlers in gloves that put it on me. It was such a process… I showed up to the red carpet in a robe and slippers, and I put the dress on on the bottom of the carpet, went up the stairs … I probably had it on for three minutes, four minutes.”
