Kim’s stirring up trouble again, this time by supposedly on the lookout for a new beau. The latest gossip has her setting her sights on LeBron James and Usher, despite their marital bliss. And Kanye’s not holding back, airing out Kim’s alleged history of chasing after married men.
But what’s the real deal with Kim’s reported pursuit of LeBron and Usher, and how does Kanye fit into the picture? Let’s dive in. The Kardashian publicity machine has been working overtime lately, pulling out all the stops to keep the family name in the headlines. From Kim’s highly publicized fling with Pete to Kylie’s rumored romance with Timothy Charlemagne, the drama never seems to end. But these PR stunts aren’t quite hitting the mark like they used to. It’s no secret that the Kardashian clan’s star power is fading; their social media presence isn’t what it once was, Kylie’s cosmetics empire isn’t booming like before, and their Hulu show isn’t the smash hit they had hoped for.
For months now, it seems like the Kardashians, especially Kylie, have been dealing with one PR disaster after another. First, there was the fallout from the AstroWorld tragedy, then Kylie faced criticism for body-shaming Selena Gomez, which cost her millions of followers. And then there’s Kim, who’s now trying to boost her TikTok presence by featuring her daughter North in almost every video, probably because her own solo efforts aren’t getting much attention.
It feels like we’re witnessing the Kardashians’ downfall from their peak of popularity. But they’re not going down without a fight—they’re determined to stay relevant no matter what. Kanye recently claimed that Kim’s fear of losing her fame drives her to extreme measures, like pursuing married men just to keep people talking about her. In their world, any publicity is seen as good publicity, and it looks like Kim’s already putting that into action—she recently made headlines for all the wrong reasons when she showed up at Tristan’s basketball game.
So, it was kinda weird, you know? Tristan and Chloe aren’t even a thing anymore, and Kim has been all over Tristan for cheating on Chloe. So, fans were scratching their heads when they saw Kim showing up to his basketball game. But turns out, Kim wasn’t there for Tristan at all. She caused a stir by posting this flirty pic she snapped of LeBron during the game on her Insta story. But unlike the other guys Kim’s flirted with before, LeBron wasn’t having it. He looked seriously annoyed in the photo, and can you blame him? The guy’s married to Savannah, his high school sweetheart. They’ve been together forever, even have a kid who’s practically an adult. So, people were really ticked off at Kim for pulling this stunt, especially since LeBron’s taken. Social media went nuts, calling her out for being disrespectful and desperate. It got so bad that Kim ended up deleting the whole post. One person summed it up pretty well, saying, “She can chase after all the hotshots she wants, but going after married men? That’s just plain wrong and sad. She needs to get some respect.”
But that’s not where Kim’s misadventures ended. There was another incident, just about a week before this one, involving Usher. It all kicked off when Kim attended one of Usher’s shows in Las Vegas, accompanied by her hairstylist, Chris Appleton, and his husband, Lucas Gage. Kim turned heads with her stunning appearance, rocking a tight leather dress and glamorous makeup. Throughout the concert, she seemed more focused on capturing videos for her social media than actually enjoying the performance. It was pretty obvious she had an agenda. Before long, rumors started swirling online after a video surfaced of Usher singing directly to Kim during the show.
Now, Usher’s known for his onstage antics, often serenading fans to make their night special. But Kim somehow managed to twist it, making it seem like Usher was romantically pursuing her. In one of her Instagram stories, she dropped a hint, saying, ‘Finally made it to see Usher, but my girls are mad they aren’t here, so I just had to come back with them ASAP.’ Just like with LeBron, this post rubbed people the wrong way because Kim knew Usher was happily committed to his girlfriend, Jennifer, with whom he shares two kids. Yet, despite this knowledge, Kim continued her flirtatious antics, leading fans to speculate about a potential romance between them.
Rumors swirled about Kim’s alleged attempts to suggest Usher’s interest in her, gaining traction especially when TMZ, known for its close ties to the Kardashians, penned an article insinuating Usher serenaded Kim. However, this fabrication was likely Chris’s handiwork to stir up buzz. The piece claimed, “Kim Kardashian received special attention from Usher, enjoying prime seating at his residency and a personal performance.” Yet, it’s whispered that Kim initially aimed for a wealthy soccer star, only to face disinterest due to her mismatch with their preference for privacy. Sources reveal Kim’s solo attendance at consecutive soccer matches in Paris and London, despite her lack of genuine interest in the sport, signaling her quest for a high-profile romance. Adding fuel to the fire, a viral video captured Kim musing about her dating prospects, expressing a desire for a lawyer or doctor, hinting at a deliberate pursuit in various settings. However, her endeavors seem fruitless, prompting her to rethink her strategy, contemplating encounters at hospitals or law firms in hopes of finding her ideal match among scientists, neuroscientists, biochemists, doctors, or attorneys.
This interview really shed light on Kim’s shallowness. Unlike most people who choose their partners out of genuine love, Kim seems to prioritize the shock factor of her relationships. Kanye, her ex, is reportedly ready to expose her antics, such as hinting about her desire to marry Tom Brady. He’s urging her to turn back to her faith and not let negativity dictate her choices.
But Kanye isn’t the only one calling out Kim’s relationship behavior. A close friend of Pete Davidson spilled to Heat magazine that Kris Jenner, Kim’s mom, pushed Pete to propose, even planning a staged engagement for the show. But Pete wasn’t having it, finding the whole thing tacky and repeatedly pushing back.
What’s your take on all this? Do you think Kim’s penchant for attached men is a problem? And how do you feel about the Kardashian clan’s reputation taking a hit? Share your thoughts in the comments,
