Ripley's: Kim Kardashian DID NOT Damage Marilyn Monroe's Dress

Ripley's Believe It or Not! "can say with confidence" Kim Kardashian didn't do any of the alleged damage to Marilyn Monroe's iconic "Happy Birthday" dress from 1962 according to a press release from the company on Thursday.

The dress, which was acquired at an auction in 2016 was evaluated in early 2017 and a report stated a number of the seams were pulled and worn, which made sense given the delicate nature of the material.
