A man suspected of spray-painting words on the exterior of Kim Kardashian’s flagship Skims store was arrested early Wednesday morning near the West Hollywood business.
Graffiti that appeared to be nonsensical was painted on columns and exterior walls of the 4,500-square-foot store in the 8000 block of Sunset Boulevard, the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department told NBC4 Investigates. The words did not appear to reference the store or the Kardashian family, authorities said.
Deputies responded to the location, west of La Cienega Boulevard, at about 5 a.m. after a witness reported a man spray-painting the building, a new retail construction project that opened in April featuring Kardashian’s line of underwear, loungewear and shapewear. A third-party contractor removed the graffiti later Wednesday morning.
Damage was estimated at about $400.
