Kim Kardashian caused quite a scene just driving on the 101 Freeway yesterday.Kardashian was ticketed for speeding in her Rolls Royce yesterday around 1 p.m. at the Van Nuys Boulevard exit, according to E! Online. At least three paparazzi were chasing her on the freeway. Two of them left the scene, got back on the freeway going the other direction and pulled over to take pictures from the other side of the freeway.
The third actually stopped in front of Kardashian and snapped a few pics of her getting ticketed. The photog Juliano A. Goncalves was cited for speeding and stopping in a nonemergency situation, according to the Associated Press.
No word just how fast she was going or if anyone else was in the car with her.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
