It remains to be seen if the fur will really fly in the wake of Kim Kardashian's recent flour-bombing incident.

But if legal action is taken against the young woman who left the E! reality star in the dust—literally—she definitely has an ally in PETA.

While the animal-rights group has denied any involvement with what went down on the red carpet during the launch of Kardashian's new fragrance, True Reflection, in West Hollywood last week, a rep for the organization gave E! News the following statement:

"We don't believe Kim would be so shortsighted as to go after this woman. But if she does, we'll definitely look at how to maximize exposure to the cruel fur industry, and that could mean defending the activist if she wishes."

As to what exactly "defending the activist" means, specifically, there has been some speculation that it could include covering any of her legal expenses if charges were to be filed.

While Kardashian initially shared with E! News that she wasn't fazed by the flour-bombing, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians said she is definitely rethinking things.

"I said earlier, no, I wasn't [going to file a complaint]," Kim told us exclusively on Friday. "I am just going to think about it, because I don't want someone to think they can really get away with that. So we are going to handle that."

Stay tuned.
