- [Sussan] How did Kim Kardashian ruin
the world's most expensive dress?
See what Lizzo had to change after public outcry.
That and so much more in today's show.
What's up guys, it's your girl Sussan Mourad.
- And I'm your host Carly Henderson.
- And Kim Kardashian is facing major backlash
for seemingly damaging the famous Marilyn Monroe dress
she wore at this year's Met Gala.
Images were shared by the collector's Instagram account
The Marilyn Monroe Collection
including side by side images of the dress
before Kim wore it
and after with what the dress looks like today.
- It's not that bad
nobody got hurt.
- It's extremely bad!
- [Sussan] The ensemble now shows signs of tearing
and abrasions in the fabric where the hooks come in
after seemingly being stretched
with several crystals either missing
or as pointed out, hanging by a thread.
- Oh! - it's very clear
from the before images
that the dress did not show these signs of damage
before Kim wore it.
- I mean the internet was definitely gonna come for Kim
after those photos were posted.
- [Sussan] The comment started pouring in
and Marilyn began trending on Twitter
with people outraged and genuinely upset
that Kim has potentially damaged a dress
that is considered part of fashion and pop culture history.
- I believe it to be the most iconic dress
of the 20th century,
combines pop art, politics, it ties it all in beautifully.
- And people are especially mad
since we know that the fitting process
was pretty complicated.
Video footage of Kim attending her fitting at Ripley's
believe it or not
who bought the dress for $4.8 million
shows what a struggle it was for Kim
to actually fit the dress
particularly her butt.
- [Man] Kris may be back.
- [Woman] Holy (beep).
- Once it gets up, it'll fit the back.
- I'm sorry, but the way the lady at the fitting
had to massage the dress while wearing gloves
to get her butt to fit into it,
watching that was giving me anxiety
that the beads were gonna fall off.
- I know, I feel like
they weren't that gentle with it themselves.
- [Sussan] Kim ended up famously losing 16 pounds
to fit into the 60 year old dress
that was made to perfectly fit Marilyn Monroe's body.
- It was such a challenge,
it was like a role,
I was determined!
Yeah, I was determined to fit it.
- [Sussan] When first posting about the team up with Kim
Ripley stated that great care was taken
to preserve the piece of pop culture history.
Noting that Kim even changed into a replica
after the red carpet.
However that hasn't stopped people calling out Ripley's
for letting Kim wear the historic dress in the first place
which has now been visibly damaged.
Ripley's is also being accused
of allowing it to go ahead
just for some press for their exhibit.
Despite the outrage, there have been some people
that don't see what the fuss is all about.
Claiming that people are now mad about a dress
they didn't know existed two months ago.
I haven't seen this much debate over a dress
since the, is it blue or gold dress?
Obviously it was gold,
oh wait, was it blue?
Prior to these images surfacing
Kim told Vogue that she was extremely respectful
and only wore the dress for a few minutes.
- So it's not the end of the world.
- Okay, first of all before knowing about the damage
I was personally shocked
that Ripley's allowed Kim to wear the Marilyn dress.
A dress that holds that much historic significance
should be conserved to the highest standards
which includes not allowing anyone to wear it.
We're talking about a 60 year old dress,
vintage fabrics especially ones made
with such delicate materials
are more fragile than new materials
and are more prone to damage.
I actually even think more blame is on Ripley's
for even allowing Kim to wear it in the first place
which was obviously going to get some wear and tear.
They saw how hard it was to put on,
hello, didn't that fitting raise alarm bells?
I mean, what do they expect?
And we all know the Met Gala has so many steps
which are a challenge for anyone to walk in a fitted gown.
Watching Kim walk those steps with that side step
you can almost hear the fabric say,
"How can you do this to me?
"How?"
- But guys, this is literally just a piece of clothing
so I have to disagree with you about this.
Yes like it's historic
but I personally would have never known
that this was Marilyn Monroe dress
if Kim didn't tell us.
And if it is that important of an item
and it's worth 4.8 million
maybe just don't let anyone borrow it
especially if they have to shape shift to fit into it.
But you know what?
Museums and galleries
they restore centuries old paintings all the time.
So I believe in them,
like sew the crystals back on,
fix the fabric and it'll be fine.
Disagree? - Yeah I'm just like,
it's so different.
You know there's like sweats, there's like makeup
and there's things that are gonna show up on the dress
like later in time,
it's not like a painting
it's I don't know to me it's different.
- Yeah, I think I'm just more of an
experiences over things person
so I'm not too bothered by it.
Lizzo is receiving heavy criticism
for a slur that's used in her new song "Girls."
Soon after dropping her latest single
disability advocates spoke out
after the upbeat anthem featured a word
that starts with an S in the original version.
Now this word comes from the condition Spastic Diplegia
which is a form of Cerebral Palsy
that causes motor impairments in the legs or arms.
Lizzo basically used it to say
that she was going to lose control.
- The internet was clearly surprised
as Lizzo is someone who promotes inclusivity.
- [Carly] Yeah, many asked Lizzo to do better.
And so Lizzo did.
She went ahead and she replaced the lyric
with "hold me back"
and said she never intended to offend anyone
in a statement posted on her social media.
Lizzo made one thing clear
writing, "I'm dedicated to being part of the change
"I've been waiting to see in the world."
Lizzo's latest single follows her smash hit
"About Damn Time" which is definitely
in the top five contenders for song of the summer.
I mean it is literally all over TikTok
it is so popular.
Now of course, the internet responded
to the controversial change,
some users praise Lizzo for how she handled the situation.
But of course, other people on the internet
called her out for being too politically correct
while others commented how cancel culture
is weird and selective
like this user who mentioned that Cardi B used the R-word
on the song "Shake It"
which was released earlier this year
and she didn't receive the same backlash as Lizzo.
- You better be joking.
- Lizzo's new and updated "Single Girls"
is set to appear on her upcoming album special
which will hit our ears on July 15th.
So I actually admittedly didn't realize
that the origin of this word
is offensive to certain communities
and I was actually called this term growing up
when I played volleyball, when I would serve the ball
and like so many people
I kind of just thought it meant hyperactive.
I typically do tend to get frustrated with canceled culture
because it seems like so much of the time
the person who makes the mistake
gets canceled for a while, at least
and we don't really get the chance to see them grow.
But what happened with Lizzo is actually what I want to see
when a celebrity has a misstep
or accidentally offends a group of people.
She took accountability,
she took action to do better
and because Lizzo is so loved,
I think a lot of her fans may follow her lead
and make the effort to be more compassionate themselves.
- And I definitely think she should have changed it.
And I'm so glad that she did
and also made a major statement about it
rather than just doing it quietly.
We need more celebrities like Lizzo.
I did know the origin of this word
so I was surprised to hear that lyric
because while during our childhood
language like this was thrown around in schoolyards
in 2022 we are far more educated,
have access to more information
and can actually hear directly from people it affects.
While Lizzo clearly didn't use
a derogatory word intentionally,
I'm just surprised that nobody on her entire team
even stopped to ask the question
of whether it would be offensive.
There is a lot of people on those record studio teams.
This was handled in a great way
so be sure to send Lizzo some love
because in a minute she might need
a sentimental man or woman to pump her up.
I've got that song on my head
since it dropped. - Oh my God, me too
we need to learn the dance.
All right guys, let's break down some other major stories
and determine if they're fact or cap.
Are BTS breaking up for good?
That is cap.
The members sent shock waves through the world this week
when they share that they'd be going on a temporary hiatus
saying that they need time to grow.
But after fans across the world reacted,
their rep said, "To be clear, they are not on hiatus,
"but will take some time to explore some solo projects
"at this time and remain active
"in various different formats."
This is so common in K-pop
where groups kind of take the time to do solo projects.
It's not like in the us where if an artist goes off
and is really successful on their own,
they often don't go back to the group.
In K-pop they usually do
so I do believe BTS when they say that they will.
- Is Zendaya pregnant?
- Ooh I'm about to clap back!
- That's definitely cap.
A fake Instagram post was shared on TikTok
which has since gone viral
that was a total hoax
making it appear that Zendaya had posted a picture
to reveal she was pregnant with her boyfriend,
Tom Holland's baby.
As you can imagine, the internet and memes went wild
as it began trending on Twitter.
So much so that Zendaya even stepped in
to shut it down saying
this is why she stays off Twitter
where people just make things up for no reason weekly
before signing off, she's getting back to work.
You heard what she said
and those people creating these fake posts
should also get back to some real work.
- I said what I said!
- Did Haley Bieber break her silence
over Justin's current health issues?
That's fact.
Haley stopped by Good Morning America this week
and gave us an update saying Justin is doing much better
and recovering from a scary health issue
with Ramsey Hunt Syndrome
which left part of his face paralyzed.
- He's doing really well,
he is getting better every single day.
And I think the silver lining of it honestly
is that it brings us a lot closer
'cause you're going through this together,
you're being there for each other,
you're supporting each other
and there's just something that really like
bonds you through these times.
- Man they have both been through it this year
I'm so glad that they are both on the amend now.
- They have.
- Did Jay-Z and Blue Ivy have a sweet daddy-daughter date
that kind of left her a little embarrassed?
That's fact.
Jay-Z and Blue Ivy sat court side at game five
of the NBA finals
as they watched the Boston Celtics
face off against the Golden State Warriors.
And when Jay-Z got a shout out on the jumbotron,
the moment was irreplaceable.
And can we take a moment to appreciate
the beautiful resemblance
Blue has to her mother, Beyonce, here?
It's something everyone has been saying
since this clip has gone viral.
Honestly, when Blue looked up,
all I could see was Beyonce.
Absolutely beautiful.
- Does Harry styles want a One Direction reunion to happen?
That's fact, with some caveats.
Harry told the Spout Podcast that
he is definitely open to it.
- I think the thought of it is really nice,
one more thing you know, I'd love
for there to be a time where it felt like
something we all wanted to do.
- Clearly Liam and Zayn have to patch some things up
before the original five ever get back together.
So get it together guys,
we're still holding out hope, right?
- I am never letting go
and I'll be here holding out hope till the end.
Thank you guys so much for watching.
- We'll see you next time.
- Bye. - Bye.
