Celebrity Update: PETA v. Kim Kardashian on the Red Carpet

Kim got floured?
 

E! Reality star Kim Kardashian made headlines last week thanks to a PETA activist dumping a pound of flour on her head during a red carpet interview.
 
Kardashian, 31, was at the launch of her new fragrance line in West Hollywood Thursday night, when she was doused with flour and ran off the red carpet leaving a path of flour trailing from both her hair and clothes.
 

Police arrested the woman who threw the flour onto her to make sure it was, in fact, cooking flour and nothing toxic. Kardashian and her mother, Kris Jenner, reportedly rushed to a private room at the London Hotel where a crew of people brushed off the powder and shook out her hair.
 
Luckily, this incident did not ruin the star’s night and she walked out onto the carpet again with confidence, laughing and joking about what just happened.
 
“That probably is the craziest, unexpected, weird thing that has ever happened to me,” Kardashian told E! Online.
 
Kardashian’s younger sister, Khloe Kardashian, who was not at the event tweeted, “I wish I was with my sister tonight,” wrote Khloe Kardashian. “I bet you that woman wouldn’t have dared tried a thing…”
 
Kourtney Kardashian, her older sister, also tweeted about the event saying, “Classy to flour bomb my sister at her charity event helping women. I wonder if they would have dared thrown the flour at my hormonal and pregnant self!”
 
PETA, an animal rights organization, denied any connection to the flour-bombing attack, however it turns out that the attacker, Christina Cho, is a pretty influential PETA activist.

A week after the incident Khloe Kardashian, who has always been a supporter and spokesperson for PETA, decided to cut ties with them. She reportedly met with Michelle Cho (the sister of Kim’s alleged flour-bomber) who said she respects Khloe’s decision to cut ties.

 
Michelle released statements to E! News discussing Christina Cho’s involvement.
 
“I am not my sister’s keeper,” Michelle tells E!, “but I love her and have seen her sacrifice a lot of herself as a terrific activist. We work in different ways to help stop animal suffering. It is Christina who got me into the movement to protect animals, and I’ll always be grateful to her for opening my eyes.”
 
PETA adds, “If Christina Cho is the person who sprinkled flour on Kim Kardashian, we know Christina as a very kind, wonderful, and long time volunteer. At a reception at our LA office last month, she was with a group who watched this video and was visibly shaken. We will support her totally.”
 
According to E! the organization has openly stated that they will “defend the activist” should any legal action take place.
