DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — A state-owned newspaper in Dubai is reporting that authorities are investigating a centre for the disabled after it hosted and publicized a visit by Kim Kardashian West.

A story in Tuesday’s edition of Emarat Al Youm says the investigation focused on Rashid Center for the Disabled not getting prior approval for the visit by Kardashian West.

It also says authorities are concerned about T-shirts bearing Kardashian West’s image that were being handed out during the Jan. 16 visit.

Dubai officials and the Rashid Center for the Disabled did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Associated Press.
