Khloe Kardashian: Mother"s Day is Gonna Be Awkward AF
Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and you can guess which new mom is ready to experience the holiday in a whole new light.
Khloe Kardashian is talking to her fans about how excited she is for the upcoming holiday. Now that Khloe has welcomed her baby girl, this will be her first Mother’s Day as a mom.
But … things are going to be a little complicated, folks.
In a post on Khloe’s app, the new mom gushes about the upcoming holiday — which will be on Sunday, May 13.
“This Mother’s Day will be the most special yet!”
For her and for Kylie, since they both became moms this year.
“I still can’t believe I’m a mom.”
Quite frankly, she had an entire lifetime and then nine months to get used to the idea of motherhood. She hasn’t yet had one month to process Tristan being a serial cheater.
But she’s focusing on the positive.
“It feels like such an honor.”
But Khloe obviously knows that she’s not the only mother in her family. All of her sisters except for Kendall are also moms.
And so, of course, is her dear momager.
Khloe says that her new maternal status makes her extra appreciative of the other Kardashian moms.
“Now it feels even more important to honor all the amazing women in my family!”
If you guessed that this Mother’s Day talk was a segue into suggesting that fans might want to purchase some of Khloe’s clothing line … congratulations.
Not everything on Khloe’s list of suggested Mother’s Day items is from her Good American brand. But the hoodie sure is.
She also recommends a kimono, a digital photo frame, and rose soap petals. (That last one, I’m going to be honest, fills me with indescribable dread)
The price range goes from about $ 10 to nearly $ 600. So it depends upon how much you love your mom. (Kidding!)
Honestly? The whole post feels like it was written in March. It’s not just that she doesn’t mention Tristan Thompson’s cheating, but the tone doesn’t even suggest that anything is out of the ordinary.
Obviously, in real life, this has to be a very emotionally complicated time for Khloe.
On the one hand, she’s a new mother with a newborn daughter who isn’t even a month old.
On the other, Khloe has been humiliated all across the world. Her baby daddy has reportedly been cheating on her with five other women.
(And those are just the ones of which the public is aware; some speculate that Thompson may have had a woman in every port, so to speak)
Gearing up for Mother’s Day when you’re uncertainty about your future with your baby daddy cannot be easy.
You know what’s even more complicated than Mother’s Day?
Father’s Day is coming up in June. How do you celebrate that under these circumstances. Do you celebrate it?
Fans have been waiting for when Khloe takes her baby and leaves Tristan and Cleveland in the dust for L.A. … and it is rumored that Khloe plans to do just that before Mother’s Day rolls around.
But that gives her, like, a week and a half to leave. Even if the doctor leaves her behind, is she emotionally prepared to make that journey?
Because many will see her leaving Cleveland for Calabasas as her saying goodbye, forever, to the life that she had imagined that she would lead with Tristan.
Kim may have cut ties with Tristan, but for Khloe, this is a lot harder. She’s grieving a lot, and it’s probably hard to let go.
We absolutely wish Khloe a happy Mother’s Day. We only wish that it were under better circumstances.
There’s no good time to find out that your baby daddy’s penis has been taking a semester off to explore new experiences, but the literal day before you go into labor, two days before you give birth, has to be among the worst.
As she and her mother and all of her sisters except for Kendall prepare for Mother’s Day …
(Don’t feel bad for Kendall; she has her horses)
… They have to all be wishing that things were a little different. Khloe is certainly not the only one of them who has been disappointed by her baby daddy.
Bill Cosby Loses Temper, Lashes Out With Obscenities in Court
Months before his retrial, Bill Cosby got up on stage and joked about the accusations against him.
Bill Cosby was found guilty of sexual assault. He’s not laughing now. In fact, he reportedly lashed out and screamed obscenities in the courtroom.
So much for the kindly facade that he worked so hard to maintain for all these years, huh?
As it turns out, a rich and once-beloved celebrity can be brought to justice in this country.
All that it takes to acquire justice is a dedication prosecution team, a massive shift in cultural awareness of sex crimes, and, oh, sixty accusers.
Despite that, everyone was unsure of the verdict until it was handed down. And it sounds like Bill Cosby was really taken off guard.
According to multiple witnesses, Cosby’s surprise turned to outrage when the prosecution suggested that he be locked up before sentencing out of fear that he could flee the country.
When the prosecutor pointed out that they didn’t think that any amount of money could guarantee that Cosby would show up to be sentenced to spend the rest of his life in prison, the disgraced comedian reportedly stood up and yelled:
“I don’t have a private plane, you a–hole!”
Interesting to hear about standing and yelling, since Cosby has been shown as looking feeble and nearly blind … though some believe that his alleged infirmity was a calculated act to elicit sympathy.
Despite Cosby’s outburst, the prosecution’s argument that bail should be revoked did not convince the judge.
Cosby has shown up for every previous court appearance, and so the judge declared that it was unlikely and improbable that Cosby would flee the country to live out the rest of his days as a fugitive.
But the judge did acknowledge that it’s possible, so the disgraced comedian is confined to house arrest and will have an ankle monitor so that law enforcement can monitor his location and movements.
When Cosby is sentenced, even if his sentences are set to run concurrently, he is expected to spend the remainder of his life beyond bars.
Twitter’s response to Cosby’s reported antics reflected both satisfaction … and exasperation.
“The gig is up – not too disabled to rant and yell at DA in response to his guilty verdict!”
A lot of people are angered that Cosby would allegedly fake being frail in the hopes of getting a sympathy acquittal.
“Bill Cosby interrupting post-conviction court proceedings to curse out his prosecutor and yell that he doesn’t own a plane is my ‘quit while you’re ahead’ cue for this news cycle. See y’all later.”
Sometimes, the news can be frustrating as hell.
Cosby’s conviction is for the assault of only one of his many, many accusers.
He was convicted for three counts of sexual assault against Andrea Constand, dating back to an incident in 2004.
Unfortunately, most states have a statute of limitations that tragically prevents survivors of sexual assault from seeing justice done.
But many see Andrea’s court victory against Cosby as a blow for all of his accusers.
Considering that his sentence is, as we mentioned, expected to keep him imprisoned for the rest of his life, some feel that it is enough.
(Even though it isn’t the sort of vindication that would come with dozens of convictions)
We hope that, when this is over, that these women receive the peace and closure that they deserve.
Cosby’s outburst doesn’t necessarily mean that he’s willing to drop his carefully cultivated image of a frail, kindly man.
It may be that he simply lost himself in anger over his conviction and over the prosecutor who made that happen’s desire to put him behind bars sooner rather than later.
Even if, at this point, courting public sympathy can no longer do him any practical good, he may continue to assert his innocence out of habit.
Everyone wants to be liked.
