Kim Kardashian Apologizes For Chimp Photos

Kim Kardashian recently posted photos of her and her family along with a chimpanzee named Suzy. It was all for the purposes of promoting the next season of her show.

She rented the chimp as a joke to play on her mother Kris, but the media is now having a field day with Kim due to a Connecticut woman getting mauled by one of the primates.

Kim has since issued an apology for the photos, saying, “I understand my timing was not appropriate and it was insensitive of me, so I want to explain. The pictures I posted are from six months ago when we were filming season three of ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’. I had held onto these pictures for months and preset them to run the month before my show was going to air, to give you guys exclusive glimpses into season three.”

She continues, “My mom has been begging Kourtney, Khloe and I to settle down and have kids, so we thought it would be funny to rent a baby chimpanzee for a week and leave her with my mom! We don’t still have Suzy, she was just rented for a week! You guys will see what happens this season with Suzy!”

And she adds, “What happened to the woman that was attacked by the chimpanzee was devastating!”

I don’t think she deserved any backlash for the photos, it’s not like it was her fault that lady was attacked.
