Kim Kardashian Takes Boycott Kim Website to Court

Kardashian-boycotting website gets phone call from Kim Kardashian's lawyer

A while back, shortly after Kim Kardashian announced she was divorcing Kris Humphries after just 72 days and people started thinking the wedding must have been a sham, a new website emerged. She's now taking BoycottKim.com to court.

As we also noted at the time the boycott movement was starting to pick up pace, the website's main goal is to make it clear that Kim and her entire family are not wanted anymore.

It's actually a venue for dissatisfied non- or former fans to pledge they will boycott all Kardashian-endorsed products, thus hitting the klan where it hurts them the most: in their wallet.

Fox News is now reporting that Kim Kardashian has taken legal action against the website, having her lawyer contact one of the founders (known solely as “Frank”) to threaten him with a harassment suit.

“The founder of BoycottKim.com was contacted by the Kardashian family’s general counsel Christopher T. Wilson, who said that hard-boiled Hollywood attorney Martin Singer intended to file a criminal harassment complaint against him,” Fox News writes.

Basically, Kim is trying to take the founder of the website to court over his online activities, saying he encouraged users of the site to “harass” her team by having them sent emails asking for explanations to claims that the Kardashian empire is basically built on child labor.

“Frank,” though, believes she's just trying to stop him from creating bad publicity for her, using the frivolous lawsuit as a means to have them disappear.

“BoycottKim.com has no financial, personal or political motivation. This is hard for the Kardashians and their legal team to grasp since their clients lives in a world where each action is motivated solely by fame and its financial benefits,” a post on the website reads.

“Frank, the founder targeted by the Kardashian attorneys, as well as the rest of our team chooses to remain anonymous for the simple fact that we do not share the same thirst for fame or notoriety,” it adds.

In other words, no one harassed the Kardashians in any way: the website is simply there to offer people who are unhappy about the family a venue with more options.

“Our role is simply to offer the hundreds of thousands of visitors and signers each month a venue to share their frustration and a means to try and remove Kim Kardashian and her family from our lives. Our responsibility is to offer a voice for the hundreds of emails we receive daily from Americans who have had enough of the Kardashian reality,” the same post reads.

We have contacted BoycottKim for a comment on the situation – so far, it's radio silence on their end.

Last time I checked we still lived in a free country. I am a mother of 2 small girls and I do not let them know who the Kardashians are. They are heinous and an embarassment to dignified women. I signed the petition because I do not want to see them on my website anymore. My children are now starting to use the computer frequently and I do not want them to see pig-skanks like the Kardashians. I monitor the TV and we do not watch E at all!!! The kardashians will never win in court unless Kim is blowing the judge----we still have freedom of speech.

I have been a fan of the show for many years. After this wedding and its 72 days of a joke of a marriage, I have decided enough is enough and will not be continuing to watch the show. I think I lost a lot of admiration for Kim when she called Kris's hometown nowhere minnesota. Well, the people that watch this show are from Nowhere Minnesota, or Wisc, North Dakota, South Dakota,,,etc. We do not have the privilege or the financial resources to live elsewhere. Kim wanted Kris to be another Scott or Bruce, who let their women run their lives. I am sorry for Kris that all this happened to him. I am done, and will not be buying any clothing from their Sears line. Sorry Kim, your out.

I am really sick of seeing this phony chicks face all over the place all because she put out a ridiculously low class and boring sex tape showing her elephant sized * ! Her face is plastic, her body is plastic, her hair is fake, she spews nothing but lies, her voice is annoying. She wrecks peoples lives all for her own personal gain. Phony TV shows all rehearsed with proof. Fake wedding. Took in lots of expensive gifts which should have gone back to the guests! Garbage clothing that stores won't take back. She crashes parties no one wants her at. The Haiti trip was a joke to her. Now she's going to adopt? You mean pimp out her children just like her mother. This is NOT someone I want my girls to idolize. I am all for this boycott and so aren't hundreds of thousands of other people and we also didn't buy the fans like she and the rest of the Kklan did! Just go away. No one likes your lies!

As a fair and open person, I gave this family a moment of my time and attempted to watch what they were trying to sell. I was immediately disgusted and the relationship as over. While finding myself crindging every few seconds, it was clear that I had exceeded my tolerance threshold. I learn one thing from kim and that is "I'm so excited" to be a part of this BOYCOTT and thanks to her "amaz" acting skills, I have recruited 72 new signees. Glad I kept up w/ the karTRASHians afterall.
