An old video of Kim Kardashian has gone viral again following reports of a cocaine seizure linked to a batch of SKIMS products.
In the resurfaced clip, Kardashian can be heard joking, “I love ecstasy.” The video went viral online as users linked it to recent news about the ongoing drug trafficking case.
It is pertinent to mention that there is no evidence that Kardashian or her company SKIMS were involved in any criminal activity.
The case concerns a British investigation in which border officials found approximately 90kg of cocaine hidden in a truck transporting legitimate SKIMS products from the Netherlands to the United Kingdom. The lorry was stopped at the port of Harwich in Essex.
Authorities said the clothing shipment itself was genuine and was used as a cover to smuggle drugs into a hidden compartment.
The driver, Jakub Jan Konkel, later pleaded guilty to his role in the operation and received a prison sentence of more than 13 years.
Investigators confirmed that SKIMS, Kardashian and the companies involved in the shipping and importing were not accused of wrongdoing.
SKIMS also responded to the reports, saying it was not aware of any illegal activity associated with the shipment. The company added that it was not related to the driver or the smuggling operation.
Law enforcement officials have reiterated that the investigation focused solely on those responsible for drug trafficking.
Nevertheless, the surfaced video has led to online speculation and renewed attention to the case.
