On Tuesday, Kim Kardashian caused yet another controversy with a Snapchat post.
In the background of a Snapchat selfie, people though it looked like she left two lines of cocaine on her table. The celebrity swiftly released a statement explaining it was sugar. Later, she came up with another explanation: It was just the pattern on her marble table.

Late Tuesday night, Kardashian posted a Snapchat video with a different explanation. Wearing the flower crown Snapchat filter, she explained that the two white lines on her hotel table was just... the table itself. It was part of the marble pattern. She filmed a close-up of the table to shut down her doubters.

Some of Kardashian's fans attributed the cocaine accusations to jealousy. The whole affair is just another part of her fame.
