The celebrity site TMZ.com reported yesterday that Lil' Kim had racked up more than $1 million in unpaid taxes.
Kim's publicist responded to the article by releasing the following statement:
"It is a known fact that for some time TMZ has been running stories on celebrities or well known persons of interest and providing the general public and media with publicly accessible information on random celebrities and their private matters with the internal revenue service, this [sic] does not come as a surprise, as it is Tax Season and is a sell-able media opportunity,it is for no other reason that Kimberly Jones (a/k/a: LIL' KIM) is now the target of such random media scrutiny. As it pertains to the story that was ran on TMZ (February 4,2012) regarding Lil' Kim, we would like to inform fans, media, and the general public, that LIL' KIM has hired professional attorneys to handle this matter (embellished by all standards via the media), and that she, along with her team of legal experts are working cooperatively and diligently with the I.R.S and federal authorities to amicably resolve the situation."
