Kim Kardashian helps pay $500,000 bond to free former death row inmate Richard Glossip

Kim Kardashian reportedly helped pay the $500,000 bail that secured the release of former death row inmate Richard Glossip, who spent nearly three decades behind bars in Oklahoma for a 1997 murder conviction that was later overturned.

Glossip, 63, walked out of the Oklahoma County Detention Center in street clothes on Thursday after a judge granted bond while he awaits a new trial in the killing of motel owner Barry Van Treese. The U.S. Supreme Court vacated Glossip’s conviction in 2025, ruling prosecutors allowed false testimony during his original trial.
