Before the Kardashians were considered the first family of Hollywood, they were normal folks just like the rest of us. They, too, had worked for other people, with one of their employers being the Norwoods. But their professional relationship soured when the family matriarch, Sonja Norwood, filed a lawsuit against Kim Kardashian, alleging that the SKIMS founder racked up thousands of dollars worth of charges on her American Express card when she was only asked to make a single purchase. Per TMZ, the lawsuit also alleged that Khloe and Rob Kardashian were in on it, too, and that it happened not only once — but twice. In 2006, the Kardashian siblings supposedly charged over $62,000 to the card and more than $57,000 the following year, totaling over $120,000 in fraudulent charges. The charges were also reportedly made at the siblings’ DASH stores.
The Kardashians were quick to deny the claims, telling the outlet that the charges against them were “meritless.” Meanwhile, Norwood shared in a statement that Ray J and Brandy tried to convince her not to involve the law in the matter, to which she obliged initially, especially after the siblings “apologized profusely” and promised to pay what they had owed. But they apparently didn’t follow through, forcing Norwood to take legal action.

The case was then settled out of court in 2009, with People reporting that the lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice, meaning Norwood cannot file the same claim again.
