Khloe Kardashian: My Friends Are SNAKES and THIEVES!
Subtweeting is usually about someone having bad manners or letting someone know that you know.
It isn’t usually about crime.
But Khloe Kardashian shot out some tweets about a friend stealing from her … and is straight-up asking if she should go to the police.
“What would you do if you found out a friend was stealing from you?”
That was her tweet, seemingly out of nowhere, on Thursday.
But that wasn’t the end of what she had to say.
“Would you cut off the friendship and let God handle it? Or would you go the legal route?”
That was her second tweet, a clear follow-up to the first.
We know that the Kardashians subscribe to a very specific sort of Christianity, and we can respect that as much as we can respect anything about the Kardashians, but simply cutting off a friendship won’t stop them from stealing from the next person, you know?
She did clarify that she did not mean her friend, actress Malika Haqq, who had been named in some of the response tweets. “No, guys! Malika is my sister! Never ever ever! We ride for life.”
“Way TOO many shady people in the world. The grass is cut LOW. I see a few snakes.”
It’s a little unclear if that last one is talking more about the unnamed, “hypothetical” thief … or the responses that she was getting on Twitter.
Maybe both.
You know, if pregnancy rumors about Khloe and Tristan Thompson are true, this could be the hormones talking. But maybe not.
The strangest part of all of that is the bit about going to the police, right?
For most of us, Twitter is a great way to keep up with friends in real time, follow the news, have occasional brushes with celebrities, and make what we will of the occasional covfefe.
But for Khloe, it’s apparently a place to ask for legal advice.
But we think that we know what was going on there, and she wasn’t really asking for advice.
Because anyone who might have actually been stealing from her would probably want to stop at that point. Being caught is scary enough, but police involvement would be so much work.
Hell, they might even break off the friendship themselves out of fear that Khloe would turn them in.
The true purpose of subtweeting isn’t to share your situation with others, it’s to have your tweets read by their unnamed subject.
Khloe was sending a clear message.
If we hear that she’s called the cops on somebody, we’ll know for sure that it wasn’t received.
Kathy Griffin: Donald Trump is Ruining My Life!
A few days ago, as you"ve surely heard by now, Kathy Griffin released some images from a photo shoot she did with Tyler Shields.
In the most scandalous photos, Kathy was holding a model of what looked like Donald Trump"s bloody decapitated head.
It did not go over well.
In one fell swoop, she managed to piss off the entire internet — and she even deeply disturbed Trump and his family.
She was fired from a few gigs, dragged all to hell in the media, both traditional and social … it was bad.
And though she released a video apologizing for the photo shortly after it was published, today she did a press conference addressing the ongoing controversy.
In the conference, which Kathy did alongside her lawyer, she was very emotional, and at one point, she even broke down.
"I don"t think I will have a career after this," she said. "I think he … I"m going to be honest, he broke me. He broke me, and then I was like, "No, this isn"t right.""
She said that she was sincere in her original apology, but that she feels that Trump and his team are trying to turn the controversy into a distraction.
About her CNN firing, she said it was "sad" and "hurtful."
"There"s a bunch of old white guys trying to silence me, and I"m just hear to say that"s wrong," she continued. "You don"t have to like me, but you shouldn"t silence a comic."
She also pointed out how strange it is that the President of the United States is going after, in her words, "D-list comedian Kathy Griffin."
As she said in her apology, she did cross a line with the photo, but she still feels like the backlash is extreme.
After all, she"s hardly the first famous person to criticize Trump in such a brutal way, but she"s the first to get destroyed over it.
Check out the press conference in the video below:
Chris Cornell"s Brother: My Heart Is Broken!
Losing a sibling is one of the hardest experiences that there can be. Many fans reacted to Chris Cornell’s tragic death without even thinking of what his brother was going through.
It turns out that his brother, Peter Cornell, was at first thinking of himself and other family members — before thinking of how fans were grieving.
He shared a deeply emotional Facebook post for his late brother’s fans, along with some photographs that really hit home.
“It’s been difficult to put words together. My heart is broken. Chris was always just my brother,” Peter wrote.
No matter how famous someone is, to family, they always are and always will be just family.
“Sometimes we only needed to just be in the same room and just be present. That was enough,” the grieving brother added.
And that’s a relatable sentiment, but what he shared next — his deep empathy for his brother’s fans and their loss — was especially powerful:
“It wasn’t until this week, it really hit me how he belonged to the world. That he is an icon and a legend. That being said, I am so sorry to YOU for your loss.”
Peter also shared a pair of photos, depicting the first and last times that he and his brother were together.
Pictures are powerful, and this is a heavy subject. Not everyone has photos from beginning to end like this.
Peter went on to talk about how artists impact more people’s lives than they could ever meet.
“Artists, actors, musicians. We rely on these people to lift us up. To inspire us and distract us in times of trouble,” he wrote.
And he ties that right back into talking specifically about Chris:
“Chris protected us when we needed him to. His one of a kind-ness surrounded us like a suit of armor. He was a warrior and a wizard. A howling wolf and a trusted mentor.”
That’s a really beautiful description. Most people are, understandably, struggling even to string words together after a loss like this.
Questions regarding Chris Cornell’s cause of death have been controversial to say the least, but Peter didn’t really touch on that.
Instead, he spoke about his brother’s life.
“My brother gave freely of his gifts and it was never a struggle. He kept himself from the saturation of celebrity in such a humble way.”
Celebrity status is okay, but it’s always impressive when people never seem absorbed or changed by their fame. And who would know better than his brother?
“The power and anger and passion of my brother’s music was always genuine, original, and legitimate.”
You don’t need a technical understanding of music to understand that.
“He was the powerful, sensitive, fragile, angry, mystical creature that will exist forever in his body of work. And he did it for ALL of us.”
But, as much as he’s processed, he’s still working his way through it. And he will be for a long time to come.
“I will never wrap my head around his passing. I’ve been in shock since I heard the news. I can’t and won’t let him go,” Peter concluded.
That’s understandable and, for too many people, deeply relatable.
Hug your loved ones and make sure that they know that they can come to you for help, folks.
