‘There was a takeaway order placed from possibly her hostie [a flight attendant],’ Ms Aiello told on Wednesday.

‘All we can say as a business is it’s a possibility this went to [Kardashian’s] plane and she could enjoy something on her way home.’

‘Just finished work and have copious amounts of Kimmy fans apparently. Here’s her bill,’ he wrote next to the bill, which was timestamped at 11.58 AM on Tuesday.
