KIM KARDASHIAN REVEALS KANYE WEST CAME UP WITH 'SKKN' DESIGN: During an Instagram Live, Kim Kardashian revealed that Kanye West came up with the design for her SKKN skincare line. She said, “And of course, my creative process wouldn’t have been complete, and I always give credit where credit is due, without Kanye, without Ye.

Meanwhile, Terry Carter’s family has promised to bring the case back to court in the near future. Carter’s daughter Crystal told reporters “It’s unfortunate, but the jury worked very hard. It feels good to know we were the majority. We look forward to trying the case again to get victory for my dad. To get justice.”
