💣 “BRO… THAT’S FAKE SKIMS!” — Dansby Swanson Causes a Stir After Accidentally Buying FAKE Kim Kardashian Lingerie, Goes Online Begging Fans: “Does Anyone Know Where to Get the REAL Ones?”
In one of the funniest — and most unexpected — stories to hit MLB Twitter this week, Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson accidentally found himself at the center of a lingerie scandal that has fans absolutely losing it.
According to fans, Swanson ordered a few pieces from Kim Kardashian’s ultra-popular SKIMS collection — reportedly as a gift for his wife, Mallory Pugh. But when the package arrived, something seemed… off.
The material looked cheap, the tag was misspelled (“SKMINS”?), and the color names didn’t match any official SKIMS lineup. That’s when Dansby took to social media, posting a hilarious video saying:
“Bro… that’s FAKE SKIMS! I’ve been scammed. Somebody help me out — where do I buy the real ones?”
Within minutes, fans flooded the comments. Some offered links to the official SKIMS website, others joked that Swanson had just become the first MLB player to fall victim to a “fashion fumble.”
One fan wrote:
“Dansby got more fake SKIMS than the knockoff market in Bangkok.”
Another added:
“At least he didn’t get caught wearing them — imagine that press conference!”
Even the official SKIMS account seemingly noticed the chaos, liking several posts that mentioned Swanson’s name.
Meanwhile, teammates reportedly couldn’t stop laughing during Cubs practice. One insider told TMZ Sports:
“The guys were crying. Someone even taped a fake ‘SKIMS’ tag inside his locker. It’s become a running joke now.”
Despite the embarrassment, Swanson handled it like a pro, ending his follow-up post with:
“Lesson learned. Always check the seller. And Kim, if you see this… I just wanted to support the brand!”
Fans are now calling for Kim Kardashian herself to send Swanson a real SKIMS care package — because honestly, after this viral moment, he’s earned it.
Twitter is calling it “the most wholesome scandal in baseball.”
And honestly? They’re not wrong.
