KIMYE NO MORE?

While I would NOT put it PAST Kris Jenner to have orchestrated the fall of democracy JUST to get the negative press off of her daughter — is there ANYTHING SHE CANNOT DO? I think with this one, the fall of democracy just happened to fall coincidentally with the ALLEGED fall of Kim and Kanye. Look, I really don’t care about their marriage or divorce but the news took over the socials for a minute…first it was the alleged break up reported in the bastion of journalism, Page Six. And look, I cannot believe I am saying this but KIM seems like way more of an evolved human than some…I mean she is getting people out of prison who should not be in prison. A pretty incredible story arc and one that should ABSOLUTELY be celebrated. Whereas Kanye is still being a petulant child and clearly has emotional meltdowns where he tries to bring everyone down with him. Publicly stating his wife tried to abort their first child was PARTICULARLY delightful. But the point is, she seems to have eclipsed him by a lot.

Now, if it were just a break up (again, not confirmed) that would be a quick news cycle and done and done. BUT then the crazy not so crazy let’s all be internet sleuths rumors started flying. People I don’t even think of as celeb gossips…like literally I would think of them as candidates for Pulitzers or Oscars were sharing TEA with me about what they “heard” or “saw” or were told by a friend who had a friend’s sister’s cousin’s boyfriend once see…you get my drift. What was the goss?

Could it be?

So yes…rumor had it that KIM was seeing VAN JONES of CNN. And I have to say I was like well…that makes sense. This is the next chapter. SOCIAL JUSTICE KIM is like a thing. I can get behind this. But then not to be outdone and thanks to our beloved TIKTOK, another more salacious rumor started to pop up. Forget Kim and Van…let’s talk Kanye and Jeffree Star, the social media star and make-up entrepreneur.

For those of you unfamiliar with Jeffree, definitely click on link above to his Wiki. He’s not new onto the scene, in fact started with MySpace and then became a YouTube star. He’s super social media savvy and has grown his fame into a real make-up business. SOME even say this is one LONG LONG LONG game of a collab with Jeffree and Kylie on a lip line but I cannot even process that level of grift so I am letting that go. The rumors started from what I can piece together due to Jeffree apparently being in Wyoming and in one pic, people decided that the reflection in his sunglasses was Kanye.

And there have been other men now coming out on TikTok saying they were with Kanye and showing text exchanges with his security guy coordinating the rendez-vous. ANYWAY…it is all sordid on all sides and I really actually DO NOT CARE but my FYP (FOR YOU PAGE) on TikTok was FILLED with stories about this so if I saw it, your kids are talking about it.

Here Jeffree responds to the rumors and I have to say, of all the characters in this story, I like him the most. RED BULL FOR BREAKFAST?? A bag of ONLY pink Starbursts? I mean…I have never related to anyone more…

So, that’s that for whoever is sleeping with who I don’t really care but we need to go there…post. You’re welcome. PS: I chose that pic of Kim and Kanye because after all the time I still think about her outfit a lot. Like the whole wet look and that waist and how Kanye looked like a gave zero fucks. It really lives in my brain, rent-free as the kids say.
