Since Kim is one of the most famous people in the world, it sadly isn’t surprising that she might be treated better than other people.
In June 2024, a Yahoo! Life article revealed what Kim Kardashian said about trusting some photographers while talking to Vogue. “There’s certain photographers where I just know I’m gonna absolutely love it. And then there’s certain photographers that I don’t need my specific glam team ’cause I always like, I always trust in the photographer to use the team that they’re comfortable with because I want a different version of myself.”
After writing about her own experiences, Kim most importantly wrote about how upset she was to read about the allegations. Kim’s statement made it very clear that she was disturbed by the claim that the photographer she worked with so much mistreated people.
I am deeply shocked, saddened and disappointed to learn that other women have had very different experiences.
After revealing how she reacted to the accusations against Marcus, Kim went on to write that everybody should be treated with respect.
On top of speaking out in support of people who suffered abusive treatment, Kim Kardashian has notably put a lot of effort into helping victims. For example, a December 2024 Yahoo! News article focused on Kim’s efforts to get New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy to commute the sentence of Dawn Jackson. According to the report, Dawn was imprisoned for 30 years after taking the life of her grandfather, who’d abused her for many years.
Kim finished her statement by celebrating people who have the courage to speak out about being mistreated.
“I stand in full support of every woman’s right to not be harassed, asked or pressured to do anything they are not comfortable with. We cannot allow this type of behavior to go unnoticed and I applaud those who speak out.”
After learning about everything that Kim wrote, it is important to look at the allegations that were made against Marcus.
