Kylie Jenner: I"m Hiding Stormi to Punish My Fans!!
Kylie Jenner shamed her baby daddy truthers, but it looks like she wasn’t content to stop there. It looks like she’s punishing all of her fans.
Take a look at this new photo of Kylie. She looks great sporting this natural look. But she puzzled fans when she cropped out her own daughter’s face.
If you think that the picture is weird, you’re right. But Kylie’s explanation is even weirder.
Kylie looks great in this picture. Her low-makeup look really lets her freckles show. Natural looks are a rare thing for Kylie, and fans are always happy to see them.
She captioned the image: “I spy with my little eye…”
But … though she definitely got compliments in the comments, fans were quick to notice that this is a very conspicuous pic.
It appears that she just … cropped baby Stormi out of the image altogether.
There’s a little bit of healthy vanity, which is usually fine, and then there’s whatever would drive a mother to excluse her precious baby from what could be a sweet mother-daughter photo.
What’s going on?
Fans were shocked and troubled by Kylie’s unexplained edit.
“She cUT HER BABY OUT.”
That comment reflects the shock and dismay that many fans experienced when they saw the photo.
“It’s okay you can still see her eyebrow.”
That comment, we imagine, was intended as sarcasm rather than comfort.
“It’s not her baby, I don’t think. It looks like North to me.”
That … is a bit of a reach. Especially since North is a good deal older than Stormi.
(In fact, North will turn five years old later this week, on June 15)
Kylie herself stepped in, writing:
“Yeah I cut my baby out. I’m not sharing photos of my girl right now.”
Kylie’s response was an explanation … but leaves fans with even more questions.
But looking back, this is part of a pattern.
Kylie hasn’t shared photos of Stormi in a while, and she’s even deleted some adorable photos of Stormi from her Instagram page.
In fact, the last time that she offered an almost-clear photo of her baby (that has not since been deleted) was on April 19.
Why is Kylie suddenly so shy?
We may have a theory.
It has to do with this guy, Tim Chung.
Now, we know that Kylie’s hot bodyguard is not Stormi’s father.
Unfortunately, some of Kylie’s followers latched onto the idea that he was secretly Stormi’s dad.
They made a show of fixating on certain facial features of Stormi’s (she’s just a baby!!) and comparing them to both Travis Scott and Tim Chung, a police officer and part time model who is also Kylie’s bodyguard.
But really, this “theory” that was barely even a rumor arose from two things:
One, fans were bored with Kylie’s happily-ever-after narrative with the baby daddy she’s only been seeing for about a year and her cute little baby.
Two, fans were thirsting hard after Chung. Just look at him. And they found it easy to imagine a gorgeous 19-year-old (at the time) Kylie spending some one-on-one time with her bodyguard.
But that, folks, is why fanfiction exists. When people project their wishes on celebrities publicly, things get awkward. And we no longer get cute Stormi giggling videos.
Those rumors really upset Kylie (and honestly could hurt Chung’s career!!).
So … Kylie’s not letting the public see Stormi right now.
Is it because she just wants to avoid giving rumor-mongers any additional fodder to compare to anyone other than Travis Scott?
Or is it because she wants to punish people who make up stories about her life?
Either way, we kind of doubt that it will act as an effective deterrent. People just love juicy rumors.
And sometimes those rumors make a lot more sense than reality. That’s what makes them so appealing to so many people.
In the mean time, though, fans can just enjoy photos of sweet baby Stormi here. Take a look:

Blac Chyna: Getting with Lamar Odom to Punish Rob Kardashian?!
Earlier this week, something very bizarre but very intriguing happened …
Blac Chyna, Tyga, and Lamar Odom hung out. Together. In the same location.
It sort of makes sense for Chyna and Tyga to be spotted together — they do share a child, after all, and there’s always the possibility that they’re actually mature parents capable of getting along for the sake of their son.
But throwing Lamar in there makes it seem like they were attending some sort of support group for Kardashian cast-offs.
In reality, they were at a launch party for some app.
But isn’t that first thing so much more fun to think about?
And, according to a new report from Hollywood Life, Chyna did take the unique opportunity to be crafty and conniving.
“Blac got Lamar’s number and she plans to use it,” a source claims.
Use it for what, when she needs something off a high shelf?
Not quite.
“She wants to get together with him and figure out how he can help her — she’s going to pump him for as much information as she can,” the source explains.
Because remember, Lamar used to be extremely close to none other than Rob Kardashian — Chyna’s ex and the subject of her nasty new legal battle.
The source also says that “She’d love to hang out with him again, too, just because she knows it will mess with Rob.”
Another source says that she’s definitely still with that new man of hers, but “she’s very calculated,” and she’s not above “flirting” with Lamar to mess with Rob.
And a person who attended that launch party claimed that “Lamar looked enamored with Blac and couldn’t stop checking out her revealing cleavage.”
“They looked to be really close and comfortable with each other.”
So if Chyna actually does plan on using Lamar in her epic feud with Rob, it seems like he might be receptive to her advances.
Should be fun for the whole family — can you imagine Khloe Kardashian’s reaction if anything actually happened between Chyna and Lamar?
Meanwhile, yet another insider says that Rob is “a very emotional guy,” and even just seeing Lamar and Chyna hanging out together “is like a knife in the heart.”
Additionally, “Rob can be very paranoid at times and this has got his head spinning out of control. He’s imagining all the things they’re talking about and plotting behind his back.”
Apparently Rob is “convinced that Chyna is going to let Lamar on her side and find a way to use him in her advantage in the custody case.”
Which isn’t great, because Lamar and Rob used to live together, and he’s seen Rob “at his very worst.”
This source says that Khloe is telling Rob that Lamar wouldn’t do that to him, and “yes, he put her through hell but that doesn’t mean he’ll do the same to Rob.”
But that doesn’t mean that Chyna won’t try to get her claws in the guy.
This whole thing is just so spectacularly messy, right? It’s messy in a way that only the Kardashians can be.
And honestly, we can’t wait to see how it all plays out.

Tony Perkins Doesn"t Think God Creates Natural Disasters to Punish Gay People Anymore
As we all know by now, irony is rain on your wedding day.
It is also 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife.
But it’s ALSO this:
In 2015, the Family Research Council’s Tony Perkins spoke with a Messianic Jewish pastor named Jonathan Cahn.
The latter had previously implied that that Hurricane Joaquin, which caused endless damage t the Bahamas, was a “sign of God’s wrath” against abortion and the Supreme Court’s ruling that legalized same-sex marriage.
Perkins concurred, saying last year that while “those on the Left like to mock these things,” there’s no doubt about how “God is trying to send us a message.”
He went on to echo Cahn’s sentiments regarding U.S. leaders having “crossed a gigantic line” and “overruled the word of God massively” when they “legalized the killing of the unborn in 1973 and now we have the striking down of marriage.”
These comments were made in October of 2015.
Fast forward less than one year to the devastation in Louisiana at the moment, as extreme flooding has leveled thousands of homes in the state.
Perkins said on Tuesday that he and his family had to escape their house in a canoe over the weekend due to this natural disaster.
“This is a flood of, I would have to say, near-biblical proportions,” Perkins said on his “Washington Watch” radio show, adding:
“This is unlike anything we’ve seen before… It’s a matter of picking up the pieces.”
It’s an awful tragedy, one affecting a region that is still recovering from Hurricane Katrina.
Perkins said he and his family will residence in a trailer for six months while their home is under repair.
He’s fortunate to even have that option, as countless people have nowhere to go right now.
This time around, however, Perkins didn’t tie the recent flooding to divine intervention
He referred to the flooding as tool for inspiration, not revenge, changing his tune around because he was actually affected by this disaster.
He said these floods had been sent as an “incredible, encouraging spiritual exercise to take you to the next level in your walk with an almighty and gracious God who does all things well.”
In a 2014, however, on another “Washington Watch” broadcast, Perkins reacted to Colorado’s Civil Rights Commission unanimously upholding a judge’s finding that a baker unlawfully discriminated against gay customers… by using a Holocaust metaphor.
“I’m beginning to think, are re-education camps next?” he said on air.
“When are they going to start rolling out the boxcars to start hauling off Christians?”
In other words: Perkins likely thinks these floods are a “spiritual exercise to take you to the next level in your walk with an almighty and gracious God who does all things well.”
Unless you’re gay. In which case he still thinks they are an act of revenge.

Christy Sheats: Texas Mom Murdered Daughters To "Punish" Their Father
New details have emerged regarding the shooting of two young ladies from Katy, Texas.
Madison and Taylor Sheats were gunned down by their mother, Christy Sheats following a “family meeting,” according to neighbors.
Family friend Madison Davey told ABC-13 that Christy, 42, “was out to kill that day” when she called a family meeting in their living room. It also happened to be her husband, Jason’s birthday.
The couple were separated, but had recently reconciled. That day, however, the atmosphere inside the Sheats home was tense, and the girls got caught in the middle.
“He was the best dad ever,” Davey said of Jason.
“I would hang out with him and he loved being around us,” Davey recalled.
Davey spoke to Jason about what happened, and he recalled that he begged his wife not to shoot their kids.
“Just shoot yourself,” he said. “Make it easy on all of us, just shoot yourself.”
Christy refused, according to Davey, telling him “No, that’s not what this is about, this is about punishing you.”
Christy opened fire on her daughters, who ran out the front door with their dad.
Madison, 17, collapsed before she could leave the property, and while Taylor, 22, managed to make it as far as the street.
When police arrived, they found Christy over Taylor’s body, which she shot again after reloading back in the house.
When she refused to surrender, officers fatally shot her.
“I always knew something would happen, but I never thought she would do this,” Davey said.
“Christy was toxic for the family. She was mentally unstable.”
Now Davey is helping with funeral preparations for the girls, who will be laid to rest in Alabama this week.
“They were so funny — for sisters, you would think they would fight, but no.
“They loved each other a lot and were always laughing.”
The gun Christy used was a .38-calibur handgun, reportedly passed down from her great-grandfather as a way to “protect her family.”
No official reports have been published yet on any mental issues Christy suffered.

Jared Fogle Appeals Prison Sentence: Don"t Punish Me For My Thoughts!
Back in November, Jared Fogle was sentenced to 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to possession of child pornography and soliciting sex from a minor.
The judge in the case – clearly disgusted by the details of the investigation – threw out Fogle’s plea deal and gave the former Subway spokesman a heftier sentence than he was expecting.
Now, lawyers for Fogle are appealing the judge’s decision, claiming that their client is being punished for sexual fantasies that he never acted on.
Though there’s no question that Fogle possessed child porn and paid teens for sex (he openly admitted as much in secretly recorded phone conversations), his attorneys may succeed in securing a shorter sentence as a result of the phrasing the judge used at his sentencing.
“This defendant is obsessed with child pornography and having sex with minors,” the judge has been quoted as saying. “He fantasized about it in telephone conversations.”
By admitting that Jared’s fantasies factored into her decision, the judge left herself open to rebuke.
“We are loath to give the government the power to punish us for our thoughts and not our actions,” Fogle’s attorneys wrote in recently filed documents.
The appeals court has yet to decide if Fogle will receive a new trial, but even if he goes to court again and wins, the disgraced 38-year-old will be sentenced to at least 12 years behind bars.

Kendra on Top Season 4 Episode 4 Recap: How Long Can You Punish Me?!
As the fourth season of Kendra on Top rolls on, Hank Baskett finds himself a familiar situation, and in uncharted territory at the same time.
The familiar: His wife punishing him for getting fondled by Ava London (and, some argue, Kendra faking divorce drama for TV ratings).
The unfamiliar: Wilkinson trolling Hank by flirting with other men, turning the tables on her husband and pretty much driving him insane.
At the onset of Kendra on Top Season 4 Episode 4, Wilkinson was visiting her bestie Jessica Hall and trying to explain away kissing her costar.
She says they “accidentally” kissed, to which Hall’s mom, who was also there, says mockingly, “What, you tripped and fell on each other’s faces?”
Joking aside, it looks like K-Dubs has revenge sex on the brain, something that’s been hinted at as you know if you watch Kendra on Top online.
“I have some guys I’ve been texting lately that I feel are kind of not in the friend category,” Kendra reveals, and doesn’t sound too upset about it.
Later, Hank and Kendra start to chat about their bucket lists in life, and she scoffs at his, offending the guy with home bored she looks to be there.
She then basically admits as much, saying, “I’m a wild soul, and I think sometimes this traditional thing just bores the living s–t out of me.”
Damn, girl. That’s cold right there. Just ice cold.
Seemed like a refreshingly honest and candid moment, for what that’s worth, and given how badly her trust issues have been impacted of late?
Probably good that she met with her therapist later on. And that she discusses how she laughs in Hank’s face as a defense mechanism. Often.
More significantly, the topic turns to her increasingly flirtatious ways. “Why do I have so much fun getting a taste of the other side?” she asks.
When the second half of these back to back installments kicks off, Kendra on Top Season 4 Episode 5 brings Hank’s parents to town for a visit.
Baskett’s dad, Hank Jr., who along with Hank’s mom has been a very positive force in Kendra’s life, is currently in the midst of a fight with lung cancer.
We’re all carbon copies of our parents, and with Hank, he grew up trying to make them proud, but not communicating regarding the tough issues.
Sounds familiar to fans at this point, no doubt.
When the topic of Wilkinson’s estranged mother Patti arises, she is forced with a familiar dilemma: Does she reach out or put up a wall?
Ultimately, she decides to finally give Patti a call, Kendra is visibly vulnerable and affected by this even though her mom didn’t pick up the phone.
In another sweet and unusually unscripted moment, she promises daughter Alijah that she will always be there for her and will never judge her.
No matter what, both Hank and Kendra seem to intensely love and care for their kids, and for that, we can only hope they make this marriage work.
