Kim Kardashian fiercely denies cocaine allegations

Kim Kardashian found herself at the centre of a social media scandal yesterday when eagle-eyed fans accused the star of having cocaine in the background of one of her Snapchat and Instagram videos.

In the clip, Kim is talking about her new kids’ clothing range, but fans were left shocked when they spotted mysterious white marks on the table behind her – with many taking to Twitter to accuse the mother-of-two of having cocaine in her hotel room.

Kim was quick to shut down the allegations, retweeting somebody who accused her of having the class A drug and adding: “I do not play with rumors like this so I’m gonna shut it down real quick.

“That’s sugar from our candy mess from Dylan’s Candy Shop.”

However, her followers were still not convinced, with one writing back: “You keep your sugar in cut lines? Neat.”

The backlash prompted Kim to launch a further investigation once she returned to her hotel room, and the star was tickled to discover that the markings were actually just part of the marble table’s design.

Sharing another video from her room on Snapchat, Kim shared a close up of the table as she explained: “Ok, you guys. I just got back to my hotel and look at this table – same position and it’s still there.

“We did go to Dylan’s Candy Shop. But after all that it’s a marble table, you guys! Come on… I don’t play like that. I have kids and it’s just not my lifestyle. I’ve never been like that.

“I just really can’t believe this… that it was a marble table and I thought it was candy.”

She later added on Twitter: “OMG you guys!!! Check my snap chats or insta stories I’m crying!!! That was not candy on my table!

“The table was marble this whole time!”
