The Kardashians: SKIMS Responds To Illegal Drµg Bust Within Their Shipment!

The Kardashians star Kim Kardashian‘s shapewear brand, SKIMS, made headlines after authorities busted one of its shipments. Authorities in the UK discovered nearly $9.3 million worth of cocaine hidden in a truck carrying SKIMS clothing. The company quickly denied any involvement. A spokesperson told TMZ, “SKIMS had no knowledge whatsoever about this criminal activity. We had no connection to the smuggling operation, the driver, or the truck.” UK authorities arrested the truck driver for further investigation.

The driver, 40-year-old Jakub Jan Konkel, had transported 28 pallets of SKIMS underwear and clothing from the Netherlands to England last September. Border officers at a port in Essex discovered a secret compartment in the truck carrying around 90 kilograms of cocaine. The compartment is specifically designed to transport drugs. After initial uninvolvement, Konkel admitted to agreeing to carry the illegal drug for $5,243. He stopped during his journey to pick up the substance. He later pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 13 and a half years in Chelmsford Crown Court.

UK authorities emphasized that the SKIMS shipment was legitimate and unrelated to the crime. Neither the company nor the logistics handlers faced any charges. The case drew considerable attention online as the Kim K brand has made a name for itself. SKIMS, launched in 2019, has a global following for its super comfortable shapewear.
