In a surprising development, the case of Luigi Mangione, who was convicted of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, has become overshadowed by social media discussions that link Kim Kardashian to this tragic situation.
The Connection Between Kardashian and Mangione
It appears that fans of the celebrity and social media icon take her statements seriously, especially since she announced her intent to pursue a law degree. Now, her followers are urging her to intervene in high-profile cases, deeming them worthy of her potential legal expertise.
After intentionally shooting Thompson on December 4, 26-year-old Mangione was apprehended in Pennsylvania at a McDonald’s, with the help of an employee who reported him. Ironically, he has garnered admiration from a segment of the public who believe his actions were justified, viewing Kim Kardashian as the perfect person to support him in his legal struggles, due to her successful advocacy work since 2019.
Kardashian’s Transition from Fame to Law
Kardashian is a proponent of reforming the criminal justice system in the U.S., a move inspired by the legacy of her father, Robert Kardashian, who was an attorney. She has taken steps to obtain her law degree, with the California bar exam set for 2025, while already facilitating clemency for individuals like Alice Marie Johnson, who was serving a life sentence, and Erik and Lyle Menendez, who were charged with their parents’ murder in 1989.
