SKIMS Sued for Unpaid Wages, Denies Allegations
SKIMS, the shapewear brand founded by Kim Kardashian, is facing a lawsuit from a former employee who alleges that he was not paid his fair wages during his time with the company. The man, David Knight, worked for SKIMS from October 2025 to December 2025 in California and claims that he was not compensated properly for his work.
According to Knight, he and other employees were not paid overtime despite working more than 8 hours a day and 40 hours per week. He also alleges that they were not given the legally required meal breaks and rest periods. Additionally, Knight asserts that SKIMS failed to pay him at least minimum wage for all hours worked and did not provide all wages owed upon his discharge or resignation.
Knight is seeking to certify a class-action lawsuit with other employees who have experienced similar issues with their wages at SKIMS. While Kim Kardashian is not personally named as a defendant in the lawsuit, the reputation of her company is at stake.
In response to the allegations, a representative for SKIMS has denied the claims, stating that the lawsuit is a “boilerplate filing” commonly used by plaintiffs’ firms to seek quick settlements. The representative asserts that SKIMS is committed to compliance with California wage and hour laws and looks forward to defending their practices in court.
It is important to note that the lawsuit is still ongoing, and the outcome remains to be seen. SKIMS maintains its stance on the matter, emphasizing their commitment to following labor laws and ensuring fair compensation for their employees.
