It had been reported that she was an 'annoying' date who wouldn't dance with billionaire mogul Richard Lugner despite a $500k pay check.

MailOnline have reached out to Kim's representatives who have so far been unavailable for comment.
The site also claims that Kim - who stayed for around an hour and a half after the incident before leaving - finally made her exit when another man made a racial remark.
TMZ report that a man offered to dance with her 'if the orchestra played N****rs in Vienna', referencing Kanye's song N****rs In Paris.
Backing out already? TMZ claim Kim left the Vienna ball following a series of unfortunate events, including billionaire Richard Lugner 'trying to get her alone'
The 81-year-old billionaire host Richard told reporters during a photo call at his Lugner City mall that the reality star was not doing what he wanted.
'Kim is annoying me because she's not sticking to the program,' he said. The 33-year-old was reportedly paid $500,000 for her services.
But to make matters worse, TMZ also report that Kim 'told her people Lugner was aggressive', grabbing her and asking her to lose her security to be alone with her.

Any regrets? Kim clearly looked uncomfortable throughout the night as she stayed close to momager Kris
This incidents are believed to have been caught on her Keeping Up With The Kardashians camera crew.
The reality star certainly looked uncomfortable earlier in the day on Thursday as she attended a press conference with the senior citizen in front of his shopping mecca in the Austrian city.
Mom Kris Jenner seemed to be thrilled, however, with the appearance, as she was seen laughing and smiling while her daughter fulfilled her obligations.
Lugner's gripes about the future Mrs Kanye West had to do with how much time she would spend with him, according to the report.
Up for grabs? Kim was reportedly unhappy after a man asked her to dance at the Vienna Ball on Thursday
Alluring: Kim's look was more sexy than regal
A trooper: Though he had insulted her, the Kardashian Kollection designer still took Lugner's arm as they walked into the event with mom Kris Jenner to her left
She won't dance with the guy: Lugner's issue with the reality star was that she would not get close to him during the ritzy event

Awkward: Kris does her best to keep the billionaire entertained while Kim looked desperately bored
The European tycoon had expected Kim and her mother to be by his side soon after they landed from New York City.
But instead they went to a Schnitzel restaurant to film scenes for their E! reality show.
'She’s filming and so she doesn’t want to have me around,' he told a group of reporters. He added, 'The guest should be with me and not anywhere else that is not agreed upon.'
Paris Hilton was his guest in 2007. Carmen Electra and Dita Von Teese have also flown to Vienna to be with the business owner for the Opera Ball.

Furious: Kim was performing her duties but she looked livid

Another gripe Lugner had was that she didn't want to dance with him. He announced in a press conference that at 11:45 p.m. during the ball, the beauty would join him on the dancefloor.
But Kim added that it would not be her, but her mother dancing with the grey-haired man. 'I’d rather watch the dancing,' she explained.
Proving that he really isn't a fan of the looker, he even joked that he had had cosmetic procedures - 15 shots of Botox - just as Kim has, according to Radar.
'What’s good for [Kim] is good for me too,' he said.

A very old tradition that became a new ritual for celebrity loving Lugner...
The Vienna Opera Ball (Wiener Opernball in German) is one of the highlights of the Viennese carnival season.
Every year the auditorium of the Vienna State Opera is turned into a large ballroom. On the eve of the event, the rows of seats are removed from the stalls, and a new floor, level with the stage, is built.
The ball was first held 1935, but was suspended during World War II.
Lugner's tradition doesn't date as far back; the businessman started the tradition of taking a celebrity date (who is paid a fee) in 1991.
Inviting celebrities to his mall, Lugner City, helped make Richard's name and fortune and ushered Austria into a more celebrity-driven era, so he's a fan of the personal appearance... and this event is its apogee.
In 2010, Lindsay Lohan became the only celebrity who failed to show.
He's been accompanied so far by: Gina Lollobrigida, Harry Belafonte, Joan Collins, Ivana Trump, Sophia Loren, Grace Jones, Sarah, Duchess of York, Raquel Welch, Faye Dunaway
Jacqueline Bisset and Nadja Abdel Farrag, Farrah Fawcett, Claudia Cardinale, Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock, Andie MacDowell, Geri Halliwell, Carmen Electra, Paris Hilton
Dita von Teese, Nicollette Sheridan, Dieter Bohlen (originally meant to be Lindsay Lohan, Larry Hagman, Karima El Mahroug aka Ruby the Heart Stealer and Zachi Noy, Brigitte Nielsen, Roger Moore and Mira Sorvino.

Lollobrigida has accompanied Lugner twice, in 1991 and 2013.
Mother Kris looked ecstatic to be a part of all the hoopla. She smiled from ear-to-ear in a black suit with a low-cut top that displayed her cleavage.
At one point she stood near her daughter as she gave a short speech.
Standing off to the side and holding a bouquet of flowers, Jenner almost looked like a bridesmaid to the white-clad Kim who was standing close to the tycoon.
Celebrities who have attended the opera with Lugner in the past have reportedly been paid for their appearances.
Leaving so soon? Kim looks sombre as she makes her exit with momager Kris and their entourage
Numbers as low as $150,000 and as high as $500,000 have been whispered about.
There has also been reports that the women get to borrow expensive jewelry for the Ball.
Lindsay Lohan was memorably a no show at the event in 2010 after promising to appear.
In 2011 Lugner made a misstep when he paid Karima El-Mahroug €40,000 (£34,000) to be his escort.

Unbeknownst to Lugner, Karima was also known as 'Ruby The Heart Stealer,' and was one of Silvio Berlusconi's infamous 'bunga bunga' girls.
In February 2011, Berlusconi was charged with paying for sex with Mahroug between February and May 2010 when she was under 18.
He was also charged with abusing his political powers in an attempt to cover up the relationship.
On 24 June 2013, Berlusconi was found guilty of paying El Mahroug for sex when she was 17 years old, and of abusing his powers in an ensuing cover up.
It's understandable why Kris and Kim wanted to flee the US this week.

On Thursday RadarOnline reported their show Keeping Up With The Kardashians lost 500,000 viewers in one week.
Season nine has had some very disappointing numbers overall with the season premiere at 2.56 million viewers.
The show used to see almost almost 3.4 million viewers in its hey day. That's almost 100,000 more viewers than now.
Outraged: Kim was said to be understandably unimpressed after a man attempted to 'mimic' her fiance Kanye West
Still, the show has been renewed for several more seasons, according to TMZ, in a deal that will be worth more than $40m.
Kim has been spending more time in Europe as she is planning her summer wedding to West there.
According to UsWeekly, the event will take place just outside of Paris in May.
On Wednesday Kim told E! that the ceremony will be small and intimate.
