Kim Kardashian is back on the news again. She has faced a fresh lawsuit, with a man, named Ivan Cantu, claiming that she has posted his picture on her official social media page, mistakenly in place of someone she was supporting back in 2024 who was found guilty of murder in 2001 and given the death penalty. Now, this man claims that because of this, he is having PTSD and sleepless nights.

What does Kim Kardashian’s lawyers have to say?

Kim Kardashian’s lawyers have explained the whole scenario saying that, “”[Kim] played an important role in advocating for Mr. Cantu. Over the course of approximately ten days in February 2024, [Kim] and her team posted a series of ‘stories’ regarding Mr. Cantu — approximately 16 in all — on [Kim’s] Instagram account. Of these 16 stories, one story posted two days before Mr. Cantu’s execution mistakenly used an image of the plaintiff in this action, a New York-based project manager whose name is also Ivan Cantu. The mistake was discovered within hours of the posting, and the story was immediately deleted, with [Kim] swiftly issuing a public apology to [Ivan].”
