LOS ANGELES » An online retailer has pulled a Halloween costume that made light of the recent jewelry heist involving Kim Kardashian West.

Time reports that the listing for the “Parisian Heist” costume on Costumeish featured a bound and gagged Kardashian lookalike dressed in a white robe and sporting a giant ring. The listing didn’t include Kardashian’s name. The costume was being sold for nearly $70.

The company’s founder, Jonathon Weeks, told Time that the costume was designed to provoke a strong reaction. He says he didn’t want to “make light of a serious situation,” and added that the company wasn’t mocking her.

The costume prompted outrage from some social media users. The company’s Twitter account announced Tuesday the costume had been pulled and apologized if it “offended anyone.”

    She’ll be making millions off of this alleged robbery, when has any mockery of this family been forbidden? They bring it upon themselves! What’s a sex tape compared to a costume? She was willing to bear all, doing it all! OMG. Their just a bunch of spoile brats!

    I do not like the Kardashian family but this is taking it a little too far. Some people do anything for money.

    How IRONIC is it, that a woman who has made millions off shameless promotion should be afforded ANY sense of decency.

    OMG, he should have kept it. Best costume idea ever. Who cares if the Kardashians didn’t like it? That’s The price you pay when you plaster everything about your life on TV and social media 24/7 for riches and fame. And you’re a negative triple threat. Can’t sing. Can’t dance. Can’t act.

      Maybe they “Can’t sing. Can’t dance. Can’t act”, but give them credit for being extremely smart. They are much smarter than most of the jealous, hating, righteous, couch potatoes who haven’t a clue on how to parlay the lack of talent into a multi million dollar industry.

    Cheaper to make it yourself.
