Barely over a week ago, Younes Bendjima and Kourtney Kardashian broke up — and it was ugly.
Now, Younes is no longer her boyfriend or boy toy. He’s just another young hottie trying to make it.
Vanderpump Rules star Jax Taylor spotted him “slumming it,” and couldn’t resist rubbing a little salt into the wound.
Jax Taylor bumped in to none other than Younes Bendjima at the gym.
At least, he noticed that Kourt’s very recent ex was also there, keeping his body in model shape.
(A lot of celebrities end up using the same gyms — a lot of regular, run-of-the-mill L.A. residents use those gyms, too)
Jax, however, was not in the mood to follow any sort of bro code or minor celebrity solidarity.
In fact, he whipped out his phone and snapped a mirror selfie — one that included Younes in the mix.
Jax added in a caption to needle Younes.
“When kourtney kardashain dumps you, ” Jax wrote. “And you have to slum it like the rest of us at a normal gym.”
It sounds like Jax does not think much of Younes’ recent lifestyle of being Kourtney’s kept man for two years.
“No more [Fiji] diamond water either,” Jax teased. “Got to drink that smart water now.”
That’s right — he even made fun of Younes’ water bottle.
Some might point out that Jax is being a little hypocritical.
First of all, though Younes swears he never cheated on Kourtney, it’s believed that cheating accusations are central to their split.
If Jax thinks that this makes Younes the bad guy … well, Jax has zero room to talk.
Second of all, Jax has an estimated net worth of $ 500,000 — and some believe him to be the wealthiest non-Lisa star of Vanderpump Rules.
A reality star worth a half-million doesn’t really qualify as “the rest of us.”
And we’re guessing that any gym that he might attend wouldn’t qualify as a slum.
“They really want me to be the bad guy,” Younes has commented on social media.
“F–k your Hollywood bullsh-t,” Younes wrote, lamenting that a person “cant have fun with your friends no more.”
Younes’ commentary even took an accusatory tone, asking: “dailymail Where are my 12 other friendssss? Nice catch tho.”
“Once again you guys failed,” Younes proclaimed. “I’m not attached to this ‘life’ so you can’t touch me.”
“I know who I am where I’m from and where I’m going and that bothers you,” Younes declared. “Only one opinion matter the one of my lord. Have a wonderful day.”
We’re not sure exactly why Jax decided to potentially start a beef with Younes.
But it’s clear that he wanted to roast the erstwhile boy toy and didn’t really care who knew.
Younes doesn’t really come across as a loser in this narrative. It looks like he’s still living a decent lifestyle.
And, unless Kourtney (or, more likely, Kris) decides to blackball him in the industry, Younes has plenty of exposure to boost his modeling career.
Plus, Younes might write a tell-all book. That would be one way to cash in — but it would also be the way to guarantee that Kourtney never takes him back.
