A new week began, and Hollywood, as always, was abuzz with gossip and scandals galore.
But one particular piece of gossip first surfaced on the TMZ website before being widely republished by numerous social, IT, and entertainment newspapers and websites.
Kim Kardashian, through her spokesperson, made public an email she received from an unknown hacker.
The so-called hacker informed Kim Kardashian via email that he had recently hacked into her computer, found some very interesting things, and stolen a copy. If she did not want these things to be exposed, she needed to transfer 300,000 US dollars into the account provided in the email upon his next contact.
Along with the email, a screenshot of a video was sent, showing Kim Kardashian in fabric scantier than a sock, looking extremely provocative as she waited for something, with a large hairy leg visible beside her.
Those with experience could guess what was to unfold next.
