Kim Kardashian is doing her best to navigate a very complicated media landscape. Her ex-boyfriend, comedian Pete Davidson, is moving on with a stunning and younger model Emily Ratajkowski.
The official response is that she does not care about what is going on in the life of the former Saturday Night Live star. The truth is probably a little bit more nuanced than that.
Her ex-husband, Kanye West, is still grabbing negative headlines, and from time to time, he drops her name to get even more attention.
West was spotted with her former boyfriend, Ray J, enjoying dinner at Giorgio Baldi in Los Angeles on Sunday night.
Additionally, it has been reported that she has shown private photos of his ex-wife to former employees. Kardashian is said to be “disgusted,” and she is investigating the matter.
However, she is still committed to a successful co-parenting journey with the controversial rapper.
The SKIMS founder also has to deal with fans who want her to cut ties with Balenciaga over an ad campaign featuring children holding teddy bears in bondage.
The fashion giant has apologized, but social media is asking Kardashian to do more. The reality TV star has put out a statement, but activists say it did not go far enough.
It read: “I have been quiet for the past few days, not because I haven’t haven’t been shocked and outraged by the recent Balenciaga campaigns, but because I wanted an opportunity to speak to their team to understand for myself how this could have happened.”
She also added: “As a mother of four, I have been shaken by those disturbing images. The safety of children must be held with the highest regard, and anything against it should have no place in our society – period.”
Kardashian, sensing that the controversy is not going away rapidly, also shared: “I appreciate Balenciaga’s removal of the campaigns and apology. In speaking with them, I believe they understand the seriousness of the issue and will take the necessary measures for this to never happen again.”
She concluded: “As for my future with Balenciaga, I am currently re-evaluating my relationship with the brand, basing it off their willingness to accept accountability for something that should have never happened to begin with — & the actions I am expecting to see them take to protect children.”
Commenters on social media are still not seeing things the way she does. They continue to believe that she is making the wrong move by being loyal to the fashion house.
Kanye West’sWest’s ex-girlfriend, actress Julia Fox, is coming to the rescue. She finds that Kardashian is being unfairly treated.
Fox said on TikTok: “Why are women being blamed for a MAN’S mistake? It’s the internalized misogyny for me.”
The fashionista previously said she only dated West to take him off Kardashian for a little while.
Kardashian wants to keep the focus on her business ventures, but it is clear that some of her exes and associates are making it harder every day for her to do this.
