An historic moment in reality TV history is the diamond earring incident involving Kim Kardashian that occurred on Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Even after more than a decade, it continues to be a subject of memes and internet references. Interestingly, Kim herself has embraced the joke surrounding it.
In a recent Instagram post featuring a series of bikini snapshots, Kim playfully acknowledged the incident with a single yet significant emoji. Alongside photos of her donning a stunning turquoise blue bathing suit that perfectly matched the serene ocean and sky backdrop, she added the caption, “Just a reminder ????.” Completing her beach look, she accessorized with sleek black shield sunglasses and styled her long dark hair in effortless beach waves.
Fans swiftly caught on to the callback moment, leaving comments that referenced the earring mishap. One fan humorously remarked, “She's finding her earring,” while another quoted Kim's sister Kourtney's memorable response, humorously writing, “KIM THERE ARE PEOPLE DYING!!”
In case you need a refresher, Kim lost her diamond earring when she was playfully tossed into the ocean by her then-boyfriend Kris Humphries during a family trip to Bora Bora. In a moment of panic, Kim exclaimed, “My earring's gone! Oh, my God, I'm gonna cry. My diamond earring!” As Kris dove in to search for it, she added, “That costs $75,000. It won't be in the sea, we can be sure of that.”
