Julia Fox's Shocking Reveal - She Dated Kanye West Only To Get Him Off Kim Kardashian's Back

Actress and model Julia Fox has finally opened up about her short-lived relationship with Kanye West. On Monday, she took to TikTok after a user commented, "I just wish you weren't dating a famously violent misogynist and anti-semite." RELATED: Taylor Swift Serves “Karma” to Kanye West 13 Years Later – And It’s MagnificentThat's when the fashion muse broke her silence on her highly publicized yet brief relationship with Kanye West in January, the beginning of West's strange antics since his split with wife Kim Kardashian. Why Did Julia Fox Decide to Date Kanye? Julia said in her TikTok video, "I was just going to write about it in my book...but I'll just tell you guys for free. The man was being normal around me..." She detailed the time in Kanye's life when he met her, and says that "he hadn't been doing anything out there yet," when they first crossed paths romantically. Apparently, West, 45 pursued Fox, 32 first. She had just rose to fame after her critically acclaimed role in 2019's Uncut Gems alongside Adam Sandler.

He even encouraged Julia Fox to reply saying she had 'bad text etiquette.' Fox says that initially, she was reluctant, fearing that talking to a celebrity as famous as Kanye West would be boring.But then she says she had sudden change of heart and decided that she would attempt to get him to like her, and that would finally get him to leave Kim Kardashian alone. Fox says that she's a very determined person, and at the time, she believed that whatever she set her mind to, she could do it. Julia Fox Made An Attempt to Help KanyeMaybe Fox was onto something? She says that during the month that they spent together, West wasn't on "Twitter or any forms of social media" and he didn't even talk about his relationship with her. "We only talked about clothes and weird ideas and plans and hopes and dreams for the future and our childhood and education." Fox says that it was a beautiful time. But soon enough, Kanye started tweeting again and that's when she decided that she was not interested in the relationship anymore. RELATED: Amber Rose Exposed Kanye’s Cruel Bullying And Used It To Create Something IncredibleFox insists that she was merely trying to help, and soon enough she realized that Kanye was not interested in her help, although that was the basis of her forming the relationship with him. "I was delusional and thought that I could help him," she said. "But that didn't work and now we're here." Before she ended her TikTok, Fox made a point to credit Kanye West's reputation as an artist, and said that she doesn't want to "sh** on that," and to reduce his whole career to his bad moments, but she expressed her solidarity with the Jewish community.

In January 2022, she self-published an article for Interview Magazine which caused a media frenzy. In the article, titled, "Date Night," Fox says that she met Kanye in Miami on New Year's Eve and the pair shared an "instant connection." She detailed that the rappers energy was "so fun to be around, and he had me and my friends laughing, dancing and smiling all night."

Julia described the gesture as "a real Cinderella moment."Never Judge a Book By It's CoverKanye West and Julia FoxMany were quick to say that Julia Fox 'stole' Kanye West from Kim Kardashian and used Kanye for fame, but it's important to always take a step back before passing judgement.RELATED: Kanye West’s Difficult Battle with Bipolar DisorderJulia's chance to clear the air has been highly overdue, and she wasn't afraid to point out her vulnerabilities as well as the respect she has for Kim Kardashian and the rest of the Kardashians. Oftentimes, the media loves to pit two women against one another, and the truth is often never reported.

Kanye West Dropped by Adidas - Why Is Reese Witherspoon Speaking Out?

Kanye West is back in the news this week, and this time it’s not because he ripped a microphone from Taylor Swift’s hands at an awards ceremony or Tweeted out wrenchingly personal details about his divorce from Kim Kardashian or changed his legal name from Kanye Omari West to simply “Ye.”RELATED: Why We Need to Talk About Kim Kardashian’s Emotional Breakdown Over Her MarriageNo, this time it’s much worse; this time, this controversial and troubled artist has engaged in outright hate speech. The silver lining is that this time, he is not being permitted to live down what he has done. And celebrities are calling him to task.What Did Kanye West Say That Got Him in Trouble? No stranger to tirades and outbursts and speech that most would never dream of, Kanye West crossed a line on October 9, 2022, that was shocking even coming from him. The rapper sent out an inscrutable and reprehensible tweet, “I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE The funny this is I actually can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda”.RELATED: Amber Rose Exposed Kanye’s Cruel Bullying And Used It To Create Something IncredibleHate, threats, and madness all in the space of just 51 words. And those 51 words were made all the worse as West did not take the step any sensible person would have after such ugliness — profuse apologizing and attempted atonement. Instead, over the next few days, he doubled down. And he did that most notably on a podcast called Drink Champs. West said of his remarks: “the thing about it being adidas is like, I could literally say anti-Semitic s--t and they can’t drop me. I can say anti-Semitic things and adidas can’t drop me. Now what? Now what?”Not only was West demonstrating an ego and arrogance so large as to seem almost farcical, but he was also openly admitting that his comments had been anti-Semitic. Is Anti-semitism a Problem in America?According to NPR, in recent years as many as one in four Jewish people in America reported they had experienced anti-Semitism in the past year. Not that they had experienced it ever, let’s be clear, but within just the 12 months prior. And according to You Gov America, 50% of Americans see anti-Semitism as a problem. And finally, note that per NBC, Americans have a shocking lack of accurate knowledge about the Holocaust, with as many as 10% of respondents to a survey completely lacking knowledge of it, while others denied that it happened.RELATED: Slogans Meant to Spread Hate – How One Street Artist Uses Them to Bring People TogetherTo be clear, few Americans are actually anti-Semites, but it only takes a few hateful people to do hurtful things, and those things can move beyond words into violence all too easily. For now, take the anti-Semitic demonstrations that occurred on Los Angeles’ 405 Freeway following Kanye West’s remarks as a stark reminder that hateful people are among us. These freeway anti-Semites hung a banner reading “Kanye is right about the Jews” from a highway overpass and flashed the stiff-armed Nazi salute at passing cars.What have been the reactions of companies that work with Kanye West?Kanye West wearing "White Lives Matter" shirt during Paris Fashion WeekKanye West is not just a rapper, but a businessman who once had an estimated net worth of two billion dollars. That figure has already plummeted, according to Forbes, and if this last week is an indicator, his wealth is sure to drop more in the near future. The fallout from his hateful rants is not a mere loss of standing and reputation, but it has had a severe (and completely deserved) financial effect.While multiple companies quickly cut ties with West, Adidas held out until earlier this week to sever the decade-long Yeezy collaboration. As news broke of West's anti-Semitic rantings, people flocked to social media urging the German athletic brand to reconsider working with West. Yeezy-branded products account for approximately 6% of adidas’ sales. Finally after a "thorough review" Adidas listened to the urgent appeal and dropped Kanye. RELATED: Kanye West’s Difficult Battle with Bipolar DisorderIn a press release, Adidas said in part: “Adidas does not tolerate antisemitism and any other sort of hate speech. Ye’s recent comments and actions have been unacceptable, hateful and dangerous, and they violate the company’s values of diversity and inclusion, mutual respect and fairness.”Adidas is just another company on a growing list that refuses to work with West: Balenciaga and Chase Bank both dropped the rapper, he has been blacklisted at Vogue, dropped by his agency, CAA, had a documentary project scuttled, and restricted from Instagram and Twitter. Even Johnny Depp's Lawyer Camille Vasquez refuses to not work with West.Is No One Holding Kanye Accountable?And all of that is as it should be. But for many days, West was allowed to effectively stand on his soap box and spout hate without being challenged. Even after he tweeted the first anti-Semitic message, he was still invited on the Drink Champs podcast where he again doubled down on his comments. RELATED: Why Kanye West’s Admission That He Was Wrong In His Marriage Is More Important Than We ThinkWhen interviewed by prominent journalists with major outlets, such as Chris Cuomo of News Nation and Piers Morgan on Piers Morgan Uncensored, he was given a platform to rant rather than being excoriated for hate speech. (Though, granted, Morgan may have tried to extract more of an apology had West not cravenly walked out of the interview.)The good news is that many people have indeed spoken out against West and have spoken up for the Jewish community. Politicians, social media users and celebrities of all stripes are making their voices heard, and indeed their voices speak for multitudes.What Did Reese Witherspoon and Other Celebrities Say of West’s Anti-semitic Remarks?In recent days, a myriad of celebrities has spoken out about West’s remarks including Oscar winning actress Reese Witherspoon who was quick to voice her opinion, “Anti-Semitism in any form is deplorable. In person. Online. Doesn't matter where. It's hate and it's unacceptable. Completely understand why my Jewish friends/ colleagues are frightened for their families. This is a very scary time.”Witherspoon also shared Jessica Seinfeld's (author and comedian Jerry Seinfeld's wife) now-viral post, “I support my friends and the Jewish people.” Among other notable celebrities to add a voice to the conversation was Kim Kardashian, who did not name West directly but clearly targeted him when she tweeted, “Hate speech is never OK or excusable. I stand together with the Jewish community and call on the terrible violence and hateful rhetoric towards them to come to an immediate end.”RELATED: Ewan McGregor’s Response to Racist Star Wars Trolls Attacking Moses Ingram Was Powerful – But SadFriends star David Schwimmer wrote on his Instagram, "Whether or not Kanye West is mentally ill, there’s no question he is a bigot. His hate speech calls for violence against Jews. If you interpret his words any other way and defend him, guess what? You are racist. If we don’t call someone as influential as Kanye out for his divisive, ignorant and anti-semitic words then we are complicit. Silence is complicity.”Actor Josh Gad dispatched a mini essay in response to West that read in part, “For 30 years, my grandparents … repeated one phrase to me again and again: 'never forget.' You see, when they were children, they were rounded up, tattooed with numbers like cattle and separated from their families.... I vowed to never forget, but never imagined I would have to once again fear the dangers of this blind and ignorant hatred towards my people... I'm going to make this super clear: Kanye West is a raging f--king anti-Semite.”Others who added their heartfelt words of support for the Jewish community and who lashed out at Kanye West were comedian Amy Schumer, actress Florence Pugh, journalist and author Katie Couric, actress and businesswoman Gwyneth Paltrow, and many more.USING YOUR VOICEWhat West said (and then repeated and expanded and amplified) was horrible, but his views do, sadly, represent the views of some. But West’s hateful speech has led to an outpouring of support for Jews in this country and has produced overwhelming evidence that most support inclusion and tolerance, not anti-Semitism and hate.RELATED: Malala Yousafzai: Raise Your Voice for the Many Who Can’tWhile some people chose not to hold West accountable during his interviews, many celebrities and non-celebs came forward and spoke up. Most of us don't have the reach, clout (or fan base) as celebrities like Witherspoon or the Kardashians, but it doesn't matter. It's important to use our voice to say when something is wrong and hold others accountable for their actions. Because even one small voice can help influence outcomes.KEEP READING: Why Maya Angelou Stopped Speaking – and How She Found a Voice that Changed the World

Taylor Swift Serves “Karma” to Kanye West 13 Years Later - And It's Magnificent

The bizarre story of the feud between Taylor Swift and Kanye West, a feud that for many years also involved West’s now ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, began in a moment seen by millions on live TV and replayed countless tens of millions of times in the years since. Surely you know the exact moment well, but just in case it’s not on your mind, or to get it there freshly, let’s do a quick revisit.The date was Sunday, September 13th, 2009, the place was New York City’s Radio City Music Hall, and the event was the MTV Music Video Awards. As Taylor Swift, then just 19 years old, took the stage to accept an award for the Best Female Video of the year, Kanye West, then a 32-year-old man, rushed onto the stage and ripped the microphone from the teenager’s hand. West shouted: “Yo, Taylor, I'm really happy for you, I'mma let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time! One of the best videos of all time!" RELATED: Taylor Swift Makes Surprise Appearance at Nashville Club that Launched Her Career, Inspires Fans With Her HumblenessWest then raised a middle finger to the audience and stormed off the stage, soon to be ejected from the awards ceremony, and leaving a befuddled Swift — and a befuddled audience and world at large — to wonder what had just happened.And though few could have known it at that wild moment, one thing that had happened was the commencement of a bitter feud that would simmer, and at times flare, between West and Swift for years to come.A Look at the Long and Storied Feud Between Kanye West and Taylor SwiftKanye West and Taylor Swift at the VMAs (2009)As noted, it all started on that fateful Sunday night in September of 2009, a night which Beyoncé apparently cried behind the stage, shaken by what West had done, while Pink is said to have told West off right to his face.The day after the incident on stage, West said on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno that he had been wrong for what he did, and on Ellen he would later blame the outburst on emotions and alcohol — in other words, he was drunk and out of control, and it wasn't his fault. Swift later revealed that in the first few days after the VMAs, West called her and offered a seemingly sincere apology, which she accepted.RELATED: Kanye West’s Difficult Battle with Bipolar DisorderIf he apologized and meant it, and she accepted it, would not that be the end of the story? Yes, but the story doesn't end there.The next year, in 2010, Swift released a song called “Innocent” which was an ostensible sleight aimed at West. Among other lyrics, it contained the barbed and very specific line “32 and still growing up.” Remember West’s age at the time he ran onto that stage?Then, in mid 2013, West went ahead and fully withdrew his apology, saying: “I don't have one regret. If anyone's reading this waiting for some type of full-on, flat apology for anything, they should just stop reading right now. I have, as a human being, fallen to peer pressure." To be clear, he meant he had “fallen to peer pressure” to apologize for interrupting someone else’s moment and making it fully apparent he felt he was in the right.Are Taylor Swift and Kanye West Friends Now? Surprisingly, in 2015 there was a thaw and even a warming between the two. They were seen in close proximity at an awards show and West even teased at an upcoming collaboration, saying: “he wants to get in the studio, and we're definitely going to go in. Any artist with an amazing point of view, perspective, fanbase, I'm down to get in the studio and work. I don't discriminate."Swift quickly denied these plans, saying they had no collaboration planned, but expressed personal fondness for the man. And later that year, in a moment that would have been hard to believe six years earlier, Swift introduced West at the MTV Video Music Awards and even poked fun at his wild intrusion in 2009. Swift has gone on record with Billboard, saying she believed West was two-faced.RELATED: Amber Rose Exposed Kanye’s Cruel Bullying And Used It To Create Something IncredibleBut in early 2016, things took a turn for the worse again. In his song “Famous” on the album The Life of Pablo, West included the lyrics: "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex. Why? I made that bitch famous.” The entente was over.A bit later in 2016, as she accepted a Grammy award, Swift spoke out, clearly referencing West when she said, in part: “…to all the young women out there, there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame. If you just focus on the work, and you don't let those people sidetrack you.”Taylor Swift and Her Feud with The KardashiansKim Kardashian, then still married to West, would later claim Swift knew of the lyrics all along and was faking being hurt by them, but Swift denied this while, admirably, supporting Kardashian, saying she knew the woman was under pressure, and not swiping at her or West.RELATED: Why Kim Kardashian’s Redemption Arc Is Surprising, But PowerfulThere was much back-and-forth between the West and Swift camps for the rest of 2016, and in 2017 Swift released a song that seemed to again swipe at West, “This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things.”Despite that, from 2018 through 2019, things calmed down again, but then, even as West’s life began to fall apart, the confusion over whether or not Swift knew of the lines in “Famous” resurfaced and set But now, a couple more years on, it seems the feud is over, and not because the two are chummy again, but because West is heading down and out and Swift is riding high.A look at Swift’s Song “Karma”Is Taylor Swift’s song “Karma” really about Kanye West? The singer hasn’t said so and is playing her cards close to her chest. She has yet to talk about the theories on her song but on close inspection of the lyrics, a guess, yes, seems a safe one. Consider the opening lines:“You're talking s--t for the hell of itAddicted to betrayal, but you're relevantYou're terrified to look down'Cause if you dare, you'll see the glareOf everyone you burned just to get thereIt's coming back aroundAnd I keep my side of the street cleanYou wouldn’t know what I mean”Does that unnamed “you” sound like anyone we know? Maybe someone who was recently excoriated for antisemitic remarks? Or someone who couldn’t well keep quiet while his family was being dragged through a horrid divorce? Someone who has now lost major partnerships with brands like Adidas and who is being routinely lambasted in the media and mocked on social media? Someone, in other words, like Kanye West?RELATED: Taylor Swift Discovers Pregnant Fan Is Homeless And Shocks Her By Buying Her A HomeAnd then let’s take a look at Taylor Swift’s reputation right now — and yes, that should call to mind her 2017 album named Reputation that topped charts and sold more than a million copies in its first week of release. Swift is generally considered to be smart and savvy, polite and caring, strong but kind, and very much in control of her career and her image. In other words, she is almost the polar opposite of Kanye West, who is wild, unbalanced, and controversial and who very likely does, as Swift sings in “Karma,” feel frightened to have that proverbial look in the mirror given how many people he has wronged — or “burned” as she puts it — along the way.Taylor Swift Proves the Best Way to Fight Back Is to Simply Live on Your Own TermsOver the years, even as Kanye West has grown ever more publicly unhinged and erratic and has fallen farther and farther from favor with fans and his own family, Taylor Swift’s proverbial star has only risen. Granted, at last check West’s colossal wealth of around $2 billion far outstrips Swift’s estimated $450 million, but this only proves that money is a poor measure of character — and besides, Swift is wildly wealthy anyway, and is more than 12 years his junior at that.The most impressive thing is that, despite the fact that she could take jabs at West whenever she wants and in ways that would be seen around the world — Swift has nearly a quarter of a billion followers on her @taylorswift Instagram alone, for example — she has rarely taken a swipe at him. It’s as if she cannot be bothered by the pettiness of it all. RELATED: Taylor Swift Pays $6k to Cover a Fan’s College Tuition – And Changes Her Life ForeverSwift was deeply rattled by that moment at the MTV Music Video Awards as she has admitted in interviews many times. Surely she as dealt with much anger and anxiety and frustration caused by West over the years, and admirably she has, for the most part, done just that: she has dealt with it.The Taylor Swift LessonThere is a certain graciousness in allowing the hate and turmoil to run off your back that many find difficult. It's never easy to turn away from the drama but instead lean into what you know you can control, love, and ultimately succeed at.If “Karma” and other Swift songs are about West, perhaps she’s been doing a bit more than keeping her chin up and living her best life. Perhaps this lyrical wordsmith has taken a note from the finest wordsmith of them all, William Shakespeare, who wrote: “If you wrong us, shall we not revenge?” Indeed West wronged Swift, but she has won the day.KEEP READING: What You Need To Know About Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez’s Alleged Feud

The Real Reason Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson Split - Are Public Relationships a Good Thing?

Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson began dating in October 2021 soon after the socialite and SKIMS founder hosted Saturday Night Live. Pete Davidson is an SNL alumnus, known for his humor and very chilled-out personality, which is what initially attracted Kim – that and their shared on-stage kiss. Although an insider recently unveiled that the couple has split after nine months together.RELATED: The Most Relatable Moments In Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson’s Relationship After a complex divorce from now ex-husband Kanye West, Kardashian's goofy and fun-loving relationship with Davidson was like a breath of fresh air. While many were convinced that their relationship was a publicity stunt, they also had fans rooting for them. Davidson was featured on a few episodes of the hit reality show Keeping Up With the Kardashians where their audience got more insight into their somewhat unconventional dynamic.What exactly did the insider have to say about the real reason Davidson and Kim split and what did West, the father of Kim’s four children, comment on the whole situation? Let’s talk about their relationship so far and if we can expect to see a friendship in the future!Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson’s Relationship TimelineKardashian and Davidson’s relationship was hot and heavy from the start. After their Jasmine and Aladdin sketch on stage that ended in a brief smooch, Kardashian felt drawn to the comedian and actor. Even though they initially claimed that they were simply friends, it was confirmed in November that they were in fact dating.The couple’s relationship immediately took off. Davidson was featured in episodes of Keeping Up With the Kardashians where we caught glimpses of the couple in their natural habitat. Davidson also accompanied her on many red carpets including the MET Gala. The duo had no shortage of Instagram content and the @kimkardashian page was instantly filled with photos of the two on vacation, sharing kisses and sweet moments.Throughout their relationship, Davidson managed to sprinkle some anticipated ink on his body for his girl. He’s known for getting tattoos from prior relationships and then covering them up post-breakup. We’re curious to see how he covers up his “My girl is a lawyer” tattoo and his Aladdin tattoo alluding to how the two met.RELATED: Why We Need to Talk About the Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian Dating RumorsAn insider told People magazine that the two reached a mutual and natural end. “They’ve definitely been slowing down,” the insider said, “Things heated up quickly in the beginning when he could travel back and forth to see Kim and spend time with her, but his schedule has gotten so packed.” With Davidson in Australia for work, it’s understandable that the distance disrupted regularly scheduled programming between the two. “Pete is still super bummed, though, about the breakup,” the insider continued, “They really hit it off and had a ton of fun together, but it feels like it ran its course.”To further confirm the breakup, a second source told People, "It was an amicable split. They had discussed ending their relationship for a bit. It wasn’t sudden, and it was a mutual decision. Getting back together is not in the cards right now.”Pete Davidson’s Relationship With Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s ChildrenOn the topic of tattoos, the most controversial one that Davidson has in regard to his relationship with Kim features her and her four children. The tattoo reads “KNSCP” which are the initials of Kim, North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm in chronological order of birth. That’s not the only time we’ve seen Davidson warm up to her children.RELATED: Pete Davidson Revealed His Biggest Dream — But Does It Include Kim Kardashian?He was photographed hanging out with North, letting her sit in his lap while he drove Kim’s Pink Moke electric car. His willingness to participate in their lives is not a surprise given his recent interview with Kevin Hart in his Peacock series Hart to Hart. Davidson told Hart that he’s “definitely a family guy.” “My favorite thing ever, which I’ve yet to achieve, is I want to have a kid. That’s like my dream,” he tells Hart. Hart asked about the role marriage plays in that dream to which Davidson replied, “I mean, that’s the way I hope it goes, yeah.” At the time that this was filmed, Davidson and Kim were together and thriving.While Kim’s kids were certainly not Davidson’s biologically, it was clear that he cared about them. Given his dream of fatherhood and the way he described wanting to find purpose through that, this breakup feels like heartbreak for anyone who was rooting for their family to grow.Kanye West Vs. Pete Davidson Feud ExplainedKanye West has said many questionable things online. While some of his posts are direct and unwavering, some of his comments are cryptic. After Kardashian and Davidson’s relationship announcement, West entered into a very public online battle with Davidson. The rapper accused Davidson of destroying his family and constantly berated him online. He even went so far as to post private messages between Kim, Davidson, and himself.RELATED: One Word Kim Kardashian Used To Let Kanye West Know The Marriage Was Over, Here’s Why It WorksGiven West and Davidson’s rocky history over the last year, the public was on edge waiting for his response to the breakup. Unsurprisingly, West took to Instagram to share a photoshopped image of a New York Times newspaper with the headline: “SKETE DAVIDSON DEAD AT AGE 28.” This is a reference to West’s slightly disturbing music video for “Eazy” in which he depicted Davidson’s death rapping that “Everyone lived happily ever after except Skete”The post has since been deleted and neither Kim nor Davidson have commented on West’s post or the breakup as a whole.Can We Expect Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson to Remain Friends Post-Break Up?The story of Hollywood exes is never-ending. There will never be a shortage of both amicable and chaotic splits between entertainers. While some breakups have been dramatic, ending with court custody battles and nasty comments online, there have been some really wonderful friendships to come out of them.Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow are just one example of how you can overcome the ending of a romantic relationship to forge a new and improved friendship. The two have remained in contact and have fond memories of their time together. They’ve recently collaborated for Paltrow’s brand Goop, showing that it’s possible to move forward after a breakup.RELATED: How Rihanna & A$AP Rocky Proved Friendship Is Essential to RomanceAnother example of celebrity exes who have come together as friends after splitting up is Joe Jonas and Taylor Swift. The two dated in 2008 when Jonas allegedly broke up with her over the phone. Swift regrets calling him out and the two have reconciled over the years. Not only have the two been seen together hanging out, but Jonas’ wife and actress Sophie Turner is a major Swiftie! She even attended Swift’s SNL performance of “All Too Well”.It can be challenging to get over a relationship that was amplified by media coverage. Having your business made public can put a strain on anyone. It gets even more complicated when children as involved. That being said, we’ve seen celebrities overcome these challenges and prevail as friends. Kim and Davidson have yet to address their breakup in the media, but it’s with high hopes that they will use their time together to bond as friends for life.KEEP READING: Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo Had to Break Up to Realize They Were Meant to Be

Pete Davidson is a comedian and Saturday Night Live (SNL) alumni. He was an important part of the SNL cast for eight years, finally confirming his last episode in May 2022. While he may be known for his great sense of humor, his tabloid coverage mostly centers around his love life these days.Davidson’s relationship with Ariana Grande in 2018 gave him a romantic appeal he never had before, and after their breakup, he continued to date a slew of Hollywood A-listers. But, Davidson has grown up a lot since his failed engagement with the Grammy Award winner. In fact, in a recent conversational style interview with comedian Kevin Hart, Davidson opened up about fatherhood.RELATED: Why We Need to Talk About the Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian Dating RumorsSo, what exactly does fatherhood mean for the 28-year-old?

Although messy, their breakup yielded something great for Kim and possibly for her children as well — Pete Davidson.In October 2021 after Kim hosted SNL, the two were rumored to be seeing each other. After denying the headlines for a while, claiming they were “just friends”, it was confirmed in November that they were officially a couple.Since then, their whirlwind romance has been filled with vacations, red carpets, and tons of online smooches.

Hart got the answer to that question before anyone could even ask!Hart asked The King of Staten Island star to clarify where marriage plays into this dream of being a father and whether he expects the two to come hand in hand. “100 percent,” he responded, “I mean, that’s the way I hope it goes, yeah.”From this heart-to-heart on Hart to Hart, it’s safe to assume that Davidson sees a future with Kim which hopefully includes some more children running around and some half-siblings for the Kardashian-West crew.Dreams of Being a Parent: Is Pete Davidson Just Old-School?Society has become more accepting of parenthood in a less traditional sense. Many women are choosing to have children later, fathers are more likely to opt for paternity leave and so many other developments in the journey to parenthood have become normalized over the years. Most of the world has come to look at parenthood in a much different way, acknowledging that some may even choose to not have children.RELATED: Why Kim Kardashian’s Redemption Arc Is Surprising, But PowerfulAs little as 20 years ago it seemed that we lived to conceive, now we live with the purpose of living for ourselves first. Individuals have shared their opinions and reasons for not having children while some young families have used social media to showcase what it means to be a parent and a family. It's important to acknowledge that one dream does not trump the other.Like many others, Davidson dreams to have a family of his own. He feels that he will find purpose in fatherhood, which is a common desire. Like all other dreams in life, we choose to do things that will bring us the most happiness but that may not always include children. There are many different ways in which we can define family, but all definitions lead back to being surrounded by love.KEEP READING: In Defense of Kim Kardashian: How She Earned Her Riches and Fame – But Not the Hate

One Word Kim Kardashian Used To Let Kanye West Know The Marriage Was Over, Here’s Why It Works

The relationship between Kim Kardashian and Kanye West has many well-documented ups and downs in the 13 years since they started dating. They got married. They had four kids. They got divorced. West had multiple public breakdowns while Kardashian held her head high and tried her darndest to stay out of the drama for the sake of her sanity and for her kids. While Kardashian and West were together they made headlines globally. Now that they are in the midst of a divorce, they are still making headlines – but of a different sort. RELATED: Why We Need to Talk About Kim Kardashian’s Emotional Breakdown Over Her MarriageIn October 2021, Kardashian started dating Saturday Night Live’s Pete Davidson and this set West off in a big way. He recorded a diss track, made a video burying a clay effigy of Davidson, and made several not-so-veiled threats on social media, which have since been deleted. Understandably, Kardashian hit her breaking point and it was during her monologue on SNL on October 9, 2021, that she uttered the one word that made West walk out in the middle of her monologue and planted the seed of retribution for Kardashian that has been growing ever since. Kanye Made a Big Gesture for Kim the Morning of Her SNL AppearancePARIS, FRANCE - MARCH 06: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West attend the Kanye West Ready-To-Wear Fall/Winter 2012 show as part of Paris Fashion Week at Halle Freyssin,et on March 6, 2012 in Paris, France. (Photo by Michel Dufour/WireImage)On the morning of Kardashian's inaugural hosting of Saturday Night Live, Kanye West had a package delivered to her room. In it was the 2007 sex tape that catapulted Kardashian into fame along with the original computer and hard drive it was on. The tabloids claimed that there was additional footage of the infamous night with Ray J and were threatening to release it. RELATED: Why We Need to Talk About the Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian Dating RumorsKardashian , now a 41-year-old mother of four children, was understandably upset about the possibility of her kids one day seeing their mother in flagrante delicto. West may have saved the SKIMS founder with this act (if the original owner has never heard of the cloud). However, what happened later that day during her monologue proved it was too little too late. What Kim Wanted and What Kanye Wanted Were Too DifferentWhen it comes right down to it, no one is ever going to know exactly what happened behind closed doors (in Kardashian's world this means the rarely used phrase 'off camera'). West's bipolar disorder and resistance to treatment are well documented, a situation Kardashian dealt with for more than a decade.RELATED: The Shocking Truth Why Kim Kardashian Is Leaving Kanye WestIn the end, what West wanted was a loyal wife but what Kardashian wanted was a loyal friend. She could no longer be the wife West demanded and he proved he wasn’t the loyal friend she craved. The One Word That Made Kanye Walk Out on Kim’s SNL MonologueOn October 9, 2021, Kim Kardashian made her debut as a host of Saturday Night Live. By all accounts, she crushed it, coming across as charming, sweet, funny, self-deprecating, and friendly. One person who did not love the monologue was her soon-to-be ex-husband. As she made light of the media circus that is her life, she joked that the reason she divorced West, 'the best rapper of all time,' and 'a talented, legit genius' was because of his 'personality.' But the reason West was so upset and stormed out mid-monologue was not the comment on his personality, it was because she said they were divorced. In West's mind, she should have said that she 'filed for divorce' because he was still trying to win her back and the divorce was not finalized. RELATED: The Shocking Truth Why Kim Kardashian Is Leaving Kanye WestWhile divorce is inevitably hard on anyone going through it, it can be tough on couples in the spotlight. Paparazzi lurks behind every car waiting to catch celebrities at their worst moments. To go through something as heartbreaking and life-changing as a divorce with cameras tracking your every move adds more fuel to a devastating fire. Kim and Kanye’s Divorce has been WildKim Kardashian filed for divorce from Kanye West in early 2021. In the aftermath of the filing, West made several high-profile moves to either get back together or creep her out. He made public statements declaring that they were or would be back together. He bought a house across the street from the home he used to share with the family to be closer to his four kids but it also puts him with a clear view of the comings and goings of Kardashian and boyfriend Pete Davidson (whom he’s made threats against).Oh, and as was revealed on the May 11, 2022 episode of The Kardashians (which was filmed in November 2021), West trolled Kardashian, saying her career was over due to a dress she wore to the Wall Street Journal Magazine’s Innovator Awards. During their marriage, West styled the celebrity superstar, taking her from tabloid fodder to appearing on the cover of publications like Vogue. Now Kardashian wears what she wants and West doesn’t like it, even texting her a photo of Marge Simpson wearing a similar dress, according to Cosmopolitan.RELATED: In Defense of Kim Kardashian: How She Earned Her Riches and Fame – But Not the HateIn March 2022, Kanye wrote in an Instagram post that said he hadn’t seen his kids, “This was on my daughter’s back pack (SIC) whe n I was “allowed” to see her last week. This is why I go so hard for family. I am wired to protect my family at all cost as the priest of my home. Don’t worry Northy God is still alive.” Kardashian was quick to respond, “Please stop with this narrative. You were just here this morning picking up the kids for school.”Kardashian has tried to, in her words, take the high road. In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, during which the former talk show host commented on how well she’s handling West, Kardashian said, “I think that’s just who I am, and I always had such a good example in my mom and my dad and their relationship. So I’m always just hopeful, and no matter what goes on, it’s the father of my kids. I’ll always be protective. I always want my kids to just see the best of the best. I just try to—as hard as it can be sometimes—I do try to ignore it and try to do whatever’s best for the kids. Take the high road.”Where Are Kim and Kanye in the Divorce Proceedings Today?Kim Kardashian filed for divorce in February 2021 after seven years of marriage. In March 2022, a judge officially granted her a request to have her legal status changed from married to single. She requested this change in status in December 2021, effectively legally ending her marriage to West. Being declared 'legally single' means the divorce is split into two parts. The first is Kardashian's single status and the second is settling the custody plans for their four children and splitting finances.RELATED: In Defense of Kim Kardashian: How She Earned Her Riches and Fame – But Not the HateAs of this writing, no formal custody arrangement or announcement of the finalization of their divorce has been made. In late May, West released the song True Love, which contains the lyrics “Wait, when you see the kids? I’ll see y’all tomorrow/ Wait, when the sunset? I see y’all tomorrow/ Wait, when I pick ‘em up, I feel like they borrowed.” The song continues, “When I gotta return them, scan ‘em like a bar code/ Wait, no hard feelings, but these feelings hard though/ Wait, who got the kids in those ‘What are those?’”West may think that no good deed goes unpunished and he is the victim in this story, but Kim Kardashian continues to hold her head high during the tumultuous time and favor humor over negativity. Kanye’s fourth attorney recently quit.KEEP READING: Amber Rose Exposed Kanye’s Cruel Bullying And Used It To Create Something Incredible

Amber Rose Exposed Kanye's Cruel Bullying And Used It To Create Something Incredible

When it comes to relationship goals, the controversial world of celebrities can be a revelatory pool of the best and worst examples. Kanye West's tumultuous romantic life falls squarely in the latter category, especially since he split up with Kim Kardashian. But right before he dated the reality star, the rapper was in a romantic relationship with model Amber Rose. RELATED: Why Kanye West’s Admission That He Was Wrong In His Marriage Is More Important Than We ThinkRight before he met Rose, the singer was engaged to fashion designer Alexis Phifer in 2008. But the sudden death of his mother, Donda, brought an end to their on-again-off-again relationship and soon Kanye found his next muse — Amber Rose. But the “Heartless” singer’s love for Amber was short-lived as the model was soon left to face his mean comments and relentless bullying, which continued even years after the couple parted ways.Kanye West And Amber Rose’s Fairytale Love Story, A TimelineIt was via Ludacris’ music video for “What Them Girls Like” that Kanye first came across Amber. The video in question features brief appearances of many women, but there is no denying that Amber stands out. Kanye was quick to approach her with the proposition of flying her to LA so she could star in the music video for his song “Robocop.”In a chat with The New York Post, Amber recalled how she thought someone was pulling a prank on her when Kanye called her and introduced himself. Convinced that it was a call made in jest, she hung up on him, only for Kanye to call her again and assure her before making the offer again. RELATED: The Shocking Truth Why Kim Kardashian Is Leaving Kanye WestWhile the video never saw the light of day, it served as the catalyst for Amber and Kanye’s new friendship to progress and soon the “Fame” singer found herself at the Grammys as his guest. In a chat with The Post, Amber shared that at the time, she and Kanye weren’t dating and were still just friends nor did they grace the red carpet as a couple. For the event, Kanye bought her an expensive Chanel bodysuit. While Amber was moved by his gesture, what made her fall in love with him was Kanye’s admission that he didn't care that she was an exotic dancer. He was like, ‘I don’t care if you’re a crackhead. I don’t care if you’re a prostitute. I just want to be with you.’ That’s what made me love him.AMBER ROSEFrom there, the couple was inseparable and often graced many high-profile events hand-in-hand, including 2009’s infamous MTV Video Music Awards (where Kanye stormed the stage during Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech), which marked their first red carpet appearance. RELATED: 40 Funny and Inspirational Quotes from Kanye WestDuring this time, Amber's career as a model also took off and she walked her first runway show at New York Fashion Week in 2009. She posed for a Louis Vuitton print advertisement featuring Yeezy’s sneaker line and also starred in many music videos. How Amber’s Romance With Kanye Became A NightmareIn 2010, the couple made the decision to temporarily part ways, but it soon became evident they wouldn't be getting back together. Though Kanye officially started dating Kim Kardashian in 2012, Amber revealed that the duo started seeing each other while she was with the rapper and the elder Kardashian sister was in a relationship with NFL Reggie BushThey were both cheating. They were both cheating on me and Reggie with each other.AMBER ROSEFor Amber, Kim was nothing short of a “homewrecker” as she revealed in a chat with Star Magazine that the reality star used to send her pictures to Kanye and encouraged him by calling and texting him. Amber said that she tried to reason with Kim via email but the latter never bothered to respond. RELATED: In Defense of Kim Kardashian: How She Earned Her Riches and Fame – But Not the HateIn her chat with The Post, Amber openly talked about how Kanye “can’t be faithful” and is someone who is “unfaithful with a lot of different women.” While she was aware that people thought she should “owe him [her] life” as her fame was a result of her association with the singer, she knew she didn’t deserve to be loved halfway. Amber soon found love in rapper Wiz Khalifa, whom she referred to as the “better man” and eventually married him in 2013, followed by the birth of their son. But by 2014, the couple separated, with Amber citing irreconcilable differences. But even as the years rolled by, Kanye West continued to find demeaning ways to remind the world that he was once in a relationship with her. In 2015, the rapper sat down for an interview on The Breakfast Club and was quick to make his infamous “30 showers” comment against his ex-girlfriend while addressing the war of words between the Kardashian family and Amber at the time, after the latter criticized the then 17-year-old Kylie Jenner for dating rapper Tyga. If Kim had dated me when I first wanted to be with her, there wouldn't be an Amber Rose. It's very hard for a woman to wanna be with someone that's with Amber Rose. I had to take 30 showers before I got with Kim.KANYE WESTKanye's insistence on verbally targeting Amber didn’t end here. In 2016, during a Twitter argument with Wiz over the title of his album, Kanye unnecessarily dragged her into the drama and commented how Wiz “let a stripper trap [him]”Amber Rose Chose To Take The Higher Road Against KanyeWhile Amber Rose was never someone who would take a beating lying down, she refused to stoop to Kanye’s antics and tweeted that while she could easily let the world know “who u really are and the things you've done to me,” she would refrain from doing so as she once loved him. So, instead of dragging out the issue and relentlessly trying to prove her worth while Kanye continued commenting about her, Amber chose to embrace heridentity and refused to let herself be defined by the constant slut-shaming. RELATED: Why We Need to Talk About the Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian Dating RumorsThus, in 2015, she launched her own version of the Toronto SlutWalk — the Amber Rose SlutWalk, an event which has since taken place in Los Angeles annually as an empowering movement boasting gender equality while openly shunning and calling out body shaming, gender violence, and oppression. Amber decided to help women who went through these experiences reclaim their confidence and understand how those against them tried to rob them of their willpower with their words. In a chat with Marie Claire, Amber shared that she decided to boldly embrace the misogynistic term as she realized she would be “called a slut whether I behaved according to other people’s standards or not [...] So, I decided to take the power out of that word and reclaim it. I said f—k it, hoe is life. But don’t get me wrong—this self-proclaimed hoe is a powerful woman and an unapologetic feminist,” she added.During her first SlutWalk, she bravely addressed how she has been consistently slut-shamed by Kanye — a man she loved but for whom she was “nothing but a stripper” and a “gold-digger.” But despite the fact that the words saddened and disappointed her, she refused to let them tamper with her positive outlook on life.People are ignorant, you have to be the bigger person and the positive person to forgive and move on.AMBER ROSEKanye allegedly also talked about Amber during his 2020 presidential rally in South Carolina, where he called her a prostitute and shared how only after “God purged him” did he find Kim Kardashian.But while Amber has often retaliated to his comments with fitting replies, she has always maintained that despite his constant bullying, she never said anything mean about him even though she had every opportunity to do so. I was quiet for so long. I could have got a reality show just off the fact that I was his girlfriend. I could have wrote a book just off the fact that I was his girlfriend. I said, you know what? I’m a real ass b—h. I’mma take the high road and work my ass off, and I’m going to get everything I get on my own, so nobody can be like, ‘Yo I gave her that.'AMBER ROSE TO COMPLEX.Seeing Kanye’s track record when it comes to his ex-girlfriend, there is no saying when he may decide to publicly ridicule her again. But Amber Rose has truly moved on, in every sense of the word. She has been dating Def Jam record label executive Alexander Edwards and gave birth to their son in 2019. As for the Amber Rose SlutWallk, she has been holding them annually without fail, not paying any heed to who lobs what criticism at her or the event. Kanye’s words ended up encouraging Amber to not let his perspective dampen her spirit and in the long run, she transformed the negative experience into her catalyst for fueling her mission to encourage individuals everywhere to embrace their sexuality. Today, Amber is a revolutionary symbol of what it means to not be apologetic when it comes to proudly owning and standing by your sexuality.

In Defense of Kim Kardashian: How She Earned Her Riches and Fame - But Not the Hate

Kim Kardashian may be one of the most controversial celebrities of all time, but does controversy mean she doesn’t deserve to be recognized for the good she’s contributed to the world?Many internet pundits are quick to criticize Kim for her wealth because she was "born into it." And she was, let's be clear. After all, Kim’s father Robert Kardashian was a famous lawyer, gaining renown after serving as a member of O.J. Simpson’s legal team in his 1995 murder trial.While Kim did grow up in the limelight, it’s easy to see that her current success -- in multiple businesses -- was all her own doing. Other than her hit show Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kim Kardashian is a business owner, and a damn good one at that. Between her billion-dollar Skims shapewear brand, her successful KKW Beauty makeup company, and her current ambitions of becoming a lawyer, it’s safe to say that Kim does not mind working hard.RELATED: Why We Need to Talk About the Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian Dating RumorsGrowing up under a spotlight is not easy. Everything you do is constantly dissected, leaving little room for mistakes and growth. Cancel culture in the last few years has hammered in this idea that no one is allowed to make an error in judgment without being persecuted online and Kim Kardashian has been a direct target in this witch hunt.Kim has a history of using her platform for good, even in the midst of all of her questionable moments. So, why don’t we ever talk about that?Is Kim Kardashian a Lawyer?Kim added a level of depth to her on-screen persona in her 2019 announcement that she was studying to become a lawyer. Many young women came out to say that they respected her desire for higher education, despite already having a successful career, as well as showing that being beautiful doesn’t mean you can’t be smart. We can’t help but wonder whether her late father Robert Kardashian inspired her to make this change in her life. In an Instagram post in 2018, Kim wrote “Last Year I registered with the California State Bar to study Law. For the next 4 years, a minimum of 18 hours a week is required.” Kim stated, “As my first year is almost coming to an end, I am preparing for the baby bar.” So, what exactly does that mean?Kim isn’t exactly a lawyer just yet, but she’s been using her journey to a law degree as an opportunity to advocate for many important issues such as police brutality, Black Lives Matter, and much more. Kim Kardashian Uses Her Platform for Advocacy Through campaigns and petitions, Kardashian has helped many prisoners get their lives back. From Alice Marie Johnson, Momolu Stewart, and Crystal Munoz to Tynice Hall, Cynthia Brown, and death row inmate, Brandon Bernard. There have been so many in between in which Kardashian advocated for, sending petitions to the court, writing letters to judges, and even taking their cases straight to the POTUS at the time.Other than using her law degree to review cases and help those who have been tried unjustly, she has also been vocal about other important issues, like the Armenian Genocide. Being of Armenian descent, Kardashian made sure to speak out on issues of war crimes, especially related to her heritage. She took to Twitter to say, “Today is the 105th anniversary of the Armenian genocide and I’m so proud that America has recognized this.” She’s also mentioned in the past that she visited the Armenian Genocide Museum with Kourtney and her children, acknowledging the 1.5 Million Armenians that were murdered.RELATED: Why Kim Kardashian’s Redemption Arc Is Surprising, But PowerfulShe also used her platform to advocate for pertinent issues such as police brutality and Black Lives Matter. In an Instagram post near the time of the death of George Floyd, Kim acknowledged that she experiences white privilege, as well as vowed to support the Black Lives Matter movement. She shared resources on her social media accounts as well as encouraged her large following to sign a petition in regard to the GoFundMe page for Floyd’s family.She also addressed the Black Lives Matter movement by acknowledging Alton Sterling, Philando Castille, Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown, Tami Rice, and so many others. In her post about the tragic police murders, she said that we must use our voices and the strength of numbers to demand changes in the judicial system.Kim’s passion for change has not only included using her own voice and enormous platform to bring cases of injustice to light, she is also actively pursuing an education in law so that she can continue these efforts. As shallow as we may label Kim because of her riches, her insistence to do good and change the broken justice system gives her the most credibility in our book.Kim Kardashian’s Charity WorkKim Kardashian is known for her many sources of income, including on-screen endeavors as well as her presence in the beauty and fashion spaces. She’s an entrepreneur who is often criticized for the sheer fact that she has money and may not have had to struggle financially to get there. Though, one thing that Kim has done over the years is give some of that money away. Charity is certainly not a foreign concept to Kim.Kim has used her brand of Shapewear, SKIMS, as a way to raise money for many family causes. In 2020, Kim proposed that her popular Cotton Collection would donate 20% of its profits to COVID-19 Emergency Response Program Baby2Baby, which provides essentials to children and families impacted by the pandemic. In the same year, Kim also announced that SKIMS would be donating $1 million to families affected by the global crisis, helping mothers and children in need.RELATED: 16 Kim Kardashian Quotes to Make You Care Less About What Others SayShe has also been dedicated to aiding disaster relief in the past. In 2017, she and her sisters donated $500,000 to Red Cross and Salvation Army after the disaster of Hurricane Harvey in Texas. Only a year later when the wildfires in California caused mayhem, Kim and her ex-husband Kanye West hired private firefighters to protect the houses in their neighborhood along with a $500,00 donation to causes related to fighting wildfires.Why We Don’t Talk about Kim Kardashian’s Good SideIt’s easy for us at home to criticize the rich and famous for being, well... rich and famous. But money and fame don’t make someone an inherently bad person. While Kim Kardashian has had her moments of ridiculous, outrageous behavior and her fair share of scandals, there’s another side to her that rarely gets the same amount of press. Kim has used her earnings and insanely large platform to advocate for important causes, donate to people in need and shine a light on the justice system in America. She has also chosen to educate herself further and pursue a career in Law; not because she needed the income, but because she wants to be a part of the change.This new age of accountability forces people to acknowledge their wrongdoings, but it can also be an unforgiving experience that entails major backlash, death threats, and the possibility of losing their livelihood. For Kim Kardashian, people will always be waiting for her to make the wrong move. Rather than expecting the worst from someone like Kim who seems larger-than-life, let’s focus on all the positive impacts she has made over the years.
