Kim Kardashian Sues Website Over Claims She Faked Paris Robbery

  Kim Kardashian isn't taking a gossip site's claim that she lied about her traumatic Paris robbery lightly. The reality star is suing mediatakeout.com and its owner Fred Mwangaguhunga for libel per se.
  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, but this time by an online gossip tabloid that published a series of articles in early October 2016 referring to her a liar and thief," writes Kardashian attorney Andrew Brettler in a complaint filed Tuesday in New York federal court.
 The articles claim she "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 writes.
  As public figures, stars typically face tougher bars in claiming defamation and libel, and usually have to show a publication printed a story with "actual malice" -- either knowing claims were false or acting with reckless disregard of the truth. Brettler says the site failed to identify or cite any credible sources and the publication of the articles were designed to cause maximum harm.
"Kardashian was assaulted and robbed by two masked men, who placed a gun to her head, duct-taped her hands, legs and mouth, and then left her lying helplessly on the bathroom floor of her rented apartment while the thieves absconded with millions of dollars in jewelry," Brettler writes. "As if that ordeal were not awful enough, Defendants made it worse by publishing on the Website, only hours after the assault, that Kardashian faked the robbery and then committed insurance fraud by filing a false claim with her carrier."

Chris Brown Responds to Report That Claims He Refused to Stand for National Anthem

Chris Brown, like many others, has shown his support for Colin Kaepernick and his decision to kneel during the National Anthem. In a now-deleted Instagram post, the 27-year-old R&B singer commended the quarterback for his stance as well as being an example for the rest of the country. But has Brown taken his support one step further by joining in on the protests? According to TMZ, the answer is yes.

 On Sunday, the publication accused Brown of refusing to stand during the National Anthem in a charity basketball game on 9/11. In the video above, Tank is encouraging everyone to join him in singing the National Anthem. "I understand everybody is exercising their right to stand or to sit. And to exercise my right to freedom of justice," he says. "But in the wake of 9/11, please understand and respect the fact that real men, women, and children lost their lives for this very thing we are able to stand for today. For this very place that we’re in, for this interaction, for this moment."

The camera pans to Brown who is seen sitting down through Tank's rendition until someone helps him up. It's important to note that Brown was actually enjoying Tank's singing, even nodding his head at a couple of moments. Brown's gesture could be interpreted in many ways, depending on who you'd ask.

 Brown doesn't exactly have the best relationship with TMZ, and proceeded to call them out on Instagram. In a move similar to when he blasted TMZ for their story titled "Chris Brown Settles Beef...Over Gay Pride Gig," he posted a screenshot of the story and wrote "Stay classy!"

 Fans were visibly upset after watching the video on TMZ. Is Brown in the center of another controversy?
