But not a good mom, as was suggested. |
Sometimes people with awful values and no real character can be successful and even have loving, affectionate families. I know families like this IRL too -- big families where they spend lots of time together and are very supportive of each other, but they are supporting one another in doing unethical, materialistic, sometimes downright awful things. Which totally undercuts any admiration I might have for their tight knit family. If the Kardashians had the same close knit culture but they did things that reflected my values, I'd appreciate them. Instead they are very, very supportive of one another starting exploitative businesses (using their surgically modified appearances to sell makeup and underwear to insecure women, selling phone apps to people addicted to their phones, selling their TV show to bored people streaming reality shows to escape their unhappy lives). They support each other in getting into, and then out of, dysfunctional, screwed up relationships with men who often have huge problems, which the entire family enables and supports as long as the relationship is profitable. They support each other in spending huge sums of money on pointless materialistic crap, while doing very little philanthropic work or even just trying to live responsible, meaningful lives. I don't think Kris looks "vibrant and put together." I think she looks plastic and weird. I do not have to admire their close family relationships nor do I need to admire their financial success. |
She built a business on her daughter’s 🐱 being seen by millions. Jesus. |
+1. So well put, thank you. |
| She's smut peddling trash. Sold her daughters for thirty pieces of silver. |
30 300 TONS of silver, at today's prices actually. |
|
Who's Who of trash, but Melane Griffith?

| I'm sad anyone cares about any of these people. Fawning over celebrities really?! |
I didn’t receive an invitation. I would have loved to have been in attendance. |
Yes, we all know this. But here’s what I find weird about that response: Kris didn’t sell the tape. Rather, she found a way to take back control of a situation and turn a crisis into a positive outcome. I find it baffling that everyone seems to forget that Kim was victimized. It’s not like her mother created the situation and pimped her out. Rather, she responded to the public victimization of her daughter by helping her regain control and ultimately using it to propel her forward. Instead of winding up a victim, she became wildly successful/powerful. Regardless, I’ve been impressed by how Kris has remained a de facto mother to Scott and the way she’s equipped her daughters to be nurturing. Heck, Khloe is a saint for taking care of her ex who overdosed and whomever that disabled kid is that she’s essentially raising. Those Kardashians are loyal and stick together, and that is rather remarkable in Hollywood. Kris seems genuinely loving. PS - I’m really not a fan. I don’t watch reality tv, but this stuff has been shoved down our throats for years and that’s my takeaway. |
This is a really good point. Makes me think of Mafia families or other crime families. |
Yes, your comment certainly suggests that you have no idea who these people are and do not follow their story at all. I fully accept your narrative that Kris Jenner is not/has not been making money off of pimping out her daughters and that she was actually some sort of heroine in that respect. |
| I guess Jeff Bezos has plenty of money to throw Kris Jenner a multi million dollar party after asking Amazon drivers to pee in a bottle to save time and money. |
So you think it would have been better for Kris to sit back and let her daughter be ruined by a sex tape? How very noble of you to insist that victims politely eat $h!t with a spoon while abusers win. You do you, pp. Some of us are glad Kim had the last laugh and won. Good for Kris for fighting back and ultimately building a bulletproof empire for her family against all odds. I suppose Kim is lucky you aren’t her mom. |
Was this written by a bot? Jesus Christ. Yes, only the very luckiest girls are born to moms who will exploit them sexually to make money 🥹 |
