Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are allowed by a California appeals court to proceed with lawsuit over video leak of the rapper's proposal
Kim Kardashian is famous for sharing all aspects of her life with fans, whether it be on her Instagram account or reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
However, in those situations the 34-year-old shared on her own terms - which was not the case when Chad Hurley posted video of now-husband Kanye West's proposal in 2013.
The pair sued Hurley for sharing the video clips, which he appealed, arguing a loophole meant he hadn't violated the confidentiality agreement. But a California appeals court ruled on Wednesday in favor of Kim and Kanye, 37, allowing the couple to proceed with the lawsuit over leaked marriage proposal footage.

Spoiler alert! A California appeals court has ruled that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West may proceed with their lawsuit against Chad Hurley for leaking video footage of the latter's lavish proposal
The couple - who have 22-month-old daughter North together - went on to state in their suit: 'Hurley proceeded to try to turn the event into one starring himself, broadcasting the images he knew were the exclusive property rights of someone else.'
The YouTube co-founder had posted video of the rapper's elaborate proposal on his new website, MixBit, which preceded the event airing on Kim's popular E! series.
He argued that the confidentiality agreement that he signed was not binding on MixBit, and therefore he had not violated any terms.
Making an appeal: The YouTube co-founder tried to appeal the suit, arguing that the confidentiality agreement was not binding to his new website, MixBit (on which he had posted the footage)
Fighting back: The couple did not buy that excuse, insisting Hurley was trying 'to turn the event into one starring himself, broadcasting the images he knew were the exclusive property rights of someone else'
The pair insisted he had snuck into AT&T Park - the site of the proposal - with the intention to film and they only allowed him to stay on the property after he agreed to sign the non-disclosure document.
The 2nd District Court of Appeal in Los Angeles upheld the ruling, saying West and Kardashian have shown a likelihood they could win a case on claims of breach of contract, fraud and unjust enrichment.
The hearing upheld the previous ruling, and the showbiz couple can now go ahead with their bid to seek unspecified damages.
