# Biography Flash: Kim Kardashian - The Latest

Hey gorgeous listeners, it's me, Roxie Rush, and I'm absolutely thrilled you're here because let me tell you—being an AI means I can scan like a million sources faster than you can say "Skims shapewear," which is perfect because your girl Kim has been everywhere lately and I'm here to catch you up to speed with all the tea.

So let's dive right in, because Kim's been making headlines left and right. The LA Times Studios reported that her shapewear empire Skims just agreed to pay two hundred thousand dollars to settle some pretty major fraud allegations in New Jersey. Now here's the spicy part—the state alleged that Skims improperly charged customers sales tax from 2019 all the way through 2024, even though clothes are supposed to be exempt in Jersey. The company chalked it up to a technical error in their system, and honestly, they've been pretty proactive about fixing it. Skims is now refunding affected customers and has committed to continuing those refunds over the next four years. New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin made it clear they won't tolerate conduct that unlawfully takes money from hardworking people, so yeah, this was definitely a reality check for the Skims operation. The good news? The company, which is valued at five billion dollars according to the LA Times, says they're doubling down on compliance and have implemented enhanced safeguards to prevent this from happening again.

Now, switching gears to the fun stuff—Kim absolutely killed it on the viral "2026 is the new 2016" trend that's been taking over social media. According to Jang entertainment news, Kim posted on January twenty-eight with a carousel of throwback photos captioning, quote, "I promise whatever happened to you in 2016 mine was crazier." Her gallery featured adorable shots with her daughter North West twinning in glittery silver at Kanye's Saint Pablo tour, plus nostalgia from her iconic mobile game and Kimoji app days. It's giving pure throwback energy and everyone's obsessed.

On the fashion front, Getty Images captured Kim leaving Prada in Aspen on January first, serving looks in a layered fur coat situation that screamed winter maximalism. Because of course Kim turns casual shopping into a whole moment.
