Kim Kardashian: My Haiti charity trip wasn't fake

20th December 2011

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Kim Kardashian is setting the record straight about her recent charity mission to Haiti.

The 31-year-old reality star went to the earthquake ravaged Caribbean country with her mother, Kris Jenner to bring awareness to actress Maria Bello's We Advance charity.

The organisation is in part "a movement to advance the health, safety and well being of women throughout Haiti," its website states.

It had been reported that the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star had gone to a fashion show and exhibited diva behaviour while there which Kim says could not be further from the truth.

"Our mission was to learn more about the charity, We Advance, meet the Haitian people who have made amazing progress since the devastating earthquake in 2010 and celebrate the women of Haiti, who inspired me more than I ever could have anticipated," Kim wrote on her blog today.

Kim said she was upset to read "malicious" reports claiming that she had "spent a fortune" on herself in Haiti.

"While my experience was completely life-changing a very emotional and surprisingly positive journey that I will never forget," Kim continued. "Some media outlets have tried to tarnish the motive behind my visit and have written completely ridiculous and untrue things."

"The truth is that I was at the Haitian Artisan Fair, where the amazing men and women who make their jewellery and crafts sell them to visitors to make a living, and I bought some beautiful jewellery!"

Kim added that she had a positive experience on the trip and will be sharing "some really great stories and photos" from her trip.

The television personality has come under a lot of flack recently after ending her marriage to basketball player Kris Humphries just 72 days following their lavish ceremony. (C) Cover Media
