Kim Kardashian and Scott Disick named in lawsuit asking for more than $20 million over lottery

Kim Kardashian and Scott Disick have been named in a $40 million lawsuit over promoting luxury prizes on social media back in 2020 that were allegedly part of a fake lottery scam.

The 41-year-old Skims founder and the Talentless creator, 39, were both named in a lawsuit along with the Australian company Curated for a giveaway which was allegedly a front to sell personal information to advertisers, TMZ reported on Thursday. 

Winners of the original giveaway were supposed to receive $100,000 dollars, two first-class tickets to Los Angeles and a three-night stay in Beverly Hills. 

The publication reported that once the winners were announced, their Instagram accounts quickly changed from public to private.    

Sources close to Curated, which ran the contest with the help of myriad celebrities on social media, told TMZ that the contest was legitimate and they have documentation to prove it. 

In the lawsuit, the plaintiffs claim that contestants have been ‘invaded by hundreds of advertisers, some of which are soliciting the Plaintiffs with potentially offensive and unwanted content.’ 

Later on in the suit, the integrity of Kardashian, Disick and other entertainment heavyweights are called in to question.

About personal wealth: ‘Just a short 20 years ago, Oprah was giving away cars and cash,’ it reads. ‘But today’s entertainment tycoons seem to only care about becoming richer and living an even more opulent lifestyle, while duping their fans and followers’

The lawsuit also alleges that other celebrities used their respective Instagram accounts to promote the contest as well. 

Under the frequently asked questions section of the website, there is one which read, ‘How is the winner selected?’ 

Curated Businesses responds, ‘We engage the services of a third party facilitator to conduct a random draw of all eligible entrants.

‘They are Australian government approved and compliant. As required by Australian law, we also engage the services of fully qualified independent scrutineer to oversee the random draw.’
