Kim Kardashian has filed a libel lawsuit against the gossip site mediatakeout.com and its owner after the site claimed she lied about her Paris ordeal.

"After having been the victim of a horrific and traumatic armed robbery in France, Kim Kardashian returned to the United States only to again be victimized," said attorney Andrew Brettler in the suit, "but this time by an online gossip tabloid that published a series of articles in early October 2016 referring to her as a liar and thief."

On Oct. 2, Kardashian was bound and robbed by two armed men who entered her Paris hotel room dressed as police officers and took $11 million in jewelry.

The site, owned by Fred Mwangaguhunga, wrote a series of stories which claimed Kardashian "faked the robbery, lied about the violent assault, and then filed a fraudulent claim with her insurance company to bilk her carrier out of millions of dollars," Brettler said in court documents.

Kardashian is suing for general, special, punitive, and exemplary damages.
