Kim Kardashian has fired back at fake article that claims the reality star bought JFK’s ‘Bloody Shirt’ for daughter North West. The bizarre news that Kim bought the ‘shirt’ for North came to light when Buzzfeed tweeted a screenshot of a shocking news article saying Kim had bought the shirt JFK was wearing when he was assassinated, writing, ‘I AM SCREAMING someone tweeted as a joke that Kim Kardashian gifted North JFK’s bloody shirt and Refinery29 wrote about it as if it were true????’
Following the tweet from Buzzfeed, Kim herself went into action reposting the news calling it ‘sick’, WOW this is obviously fake! @Refinery I did not get JFK’s shirt. That is a sick joke that someone tweeted as a fake ig story that I never posted’’ Kim tweeted.

The bizarre news came just days after Kim revealed she’d gifted North the infamous black jacket of Michael Jackson on Elizabeth Taylor’s birthday party, along with his Smooth Criminal hat because ‘North is a really big Michael Jackson fan’.
Sharing the picture on her Instagram story, the post showed Kim zzzoming in-to MJ’s black jacket with all the embellishments while on the inside is tucked-in a photo of the King of Pop with Taylor herself.
Following Kardashian's response on Monday, the website that first published the bizarre news has removed the photo and explained the error.
"This story has been updated from the original version. Earlier, it included a falsified Instagram image, which has been removed," the website wrote.
