Kim Kardashian is being sued by the foundation of late artist Donald Judd over claims she promoted furniture as made by him - but none of it actually was.
The Judd Foundation - a non-profit honoring the memory of the American artist known for his sculptures and minimalist designs - alleges the reality star, 43, boasted a table and a set of chairs were Judd originals in a video tour of her SKKN office in 2022.

'Following the press coverage of the video, on August 15, 2022, Judd Foundation contacted Ms. Kardashian’s representatives, who confirmed that the table and chairs were indeed fake.
'Clements Design knowingly fabricated and sold the fake designs. Judd Foundation’s attempt to resolve this matter without litigation was met with delays and excuses from Ms. Kardashian and Clements Design.
'More than a year later, the video of Ms. Kardashian promoting fake furniture attributed to Donald Judd remains available on her YouTube page to millions of followers and the public at large.
