SKIMS, Kim Kardashian's signature shapewear company, says a woman who filed a lawsuit claiming SKIMS body tape ripped her skin is wrong...and the tape that she actually used was an Amazon purchase which is not associated with Kim or SKIMS at all.
The woman, Noelle Mahasin Smith, filed a lawsuit against SKIMS on Monday, claiming the company's body tape tore at her skin. The lawsuit was thin on specifics, but Smith says the body tape is directly responsible for the physical and mental pain she claims she endured while using it.

A SKIMS rep told us that Smith didn't even buy the tape from them, saying, "We take customer feedback very seriously. Upon further investigation of this specific complaint, we have found that the customer had purchased what appears to be a fake band from Amazon, which is not an authorized or official reseller of SKIMS products."

Kim's SKIMS brand has become very popular in the market, the company representative continues: "Unfortunately, counterfeit items have become commonplace for the brand and we strongly advise our customers to only buy from SKIMS or one of our official business partners who can be found on our website to ensure they receive genuine products that meet our quality standards."
By comparing the products, you can see that Kim's tape is branded SKIMS...very different from the one allegedly purchased from Amazon.
