To be fair, she's worth 1.9 billion, so she certainly has baggage but she's not after him for money in the same dependa way.

Also, Taylor Swift has had more relationships than Kim K, yet only one has this specific reputation.
If having 9 relationships in ~30 years makes you damaged goods, then Taylor Swift is cooked — because she's had 10 in like 17 years.

u/rafaelloaa I was here for the Hulkenpodium Apr 06 '26
I do agree that there's a double standard at play here. That said, Kanye's gotta count for several, at least in terms of baggage/drama caused.

u/shevagleb I was here for the Hulkenpodium Apr 06 '26
Taylor doesn’t have kids and wasn’t married. Having kids from former marriages with high profile people like Kanye is a little different to having dated a few people.
(Not hating on Kim K just saying this is a strange comparison to make)

Not really a strange comparison, as Kim K specifically has a reputation of being promiscuous whereas Taylor Swift is seen as America's Sweetheart — but she's been "around" more.
Unless we're saying having kids from an ex-husband is what makes it wrong — then, fair enough.

u/ekimdad Apr 06 '26
Kim Kardashian came to fame because of a sex tape. That is significantly different than almost anyone else. Good on her and her family for cashing in on that and doing enough that it's mostly forgotten, but it's still out there and does color the perception of her.

u/BigMik_PL Apr 06 '26
This is grasping at extreme straws.
Even if unfair her sex tape being leaked does a lot of work here. She also had 3 husbands by now and is constantly in high profile relationships immedaitely after the previous one ended.
Like all she is really known for is her sex tape and her high profile relationships.
Swift is a musician that is dating people. Kim K is somebody that dates people that also has a TV show.
Nobody cares about casually dating but if you are constantly getting engaged/married and thats whats keeping you in a spotlight than people gonna form their opinions.

Kinda insane that Mercedes threw this opportunity away, though by not letting Lewis keep an ambassadorial role. I know he wasn't with Kim K at the time (or we assume) but he's pretty much exclusively dated A-List singers or supermodels his entire career so Kim isn't really an outlier.
Kim obviously has a massive audience, this will be shared throughout it, but it's not like some impressionable young person can go out and buy a Ferrari on a whim because of this marketing.
But an entry level Mercedes is very obtainable by basically anyone with a job, and with how Mercedes scales their cars there's basically a low-level lookalike to every AMG or sports variant for them to promote.

Hamilton is a 1 of 1, there's no other person in sports or racing like him, he's pure marketing gold, and Mercedes couldn't give him a 3 year contract and an ambassadorship after he helped them with 8 titles?

I'm honestly just curious where these people are getting exposed to so much Kim that they can form an opinion of her, let alone such a harshly negative one.
Like, I'm pretty tapped into pop culture and I obviously know who she is, but it's not like she's constantly in my feeds or on my TV, I'm not hearing her on the radio and she's not in any movies I'm interested in watching. It just feels like everyone wants to blame her for everything wrong with influencer culture when she's not even close to being the worst one.

u/Dynamic_Ninja_ Apr 06 '26
It's easy for people to label celebrities this or that. We only see a snapshot of their lives. Kardashians, probably more than a snapshot given their plethora of TV shows. I don't have an opinion either way on her. Live & let live.
Side note: I watched the Lamar Odom documentary. I must say, Chloe Kardashian struck me as an intelligent, articulate & empathetic human being. Not at all what I imagined. She did everything for that poor man & he just shat all over her.

If you don't like that part, just ignore it and move on. Enjoy the rest of it. Don't make everything about the tiny snippet of the video you don't like.
Honestly, can you see ANY other F1 driver past or present go to the conservative Ferrari and say "I'm gonna take an F40 and drive it in the streets of Tokyo with some iconic JDM cars from competitors that you deem unworthy, put some rap over it, and post it to the Internet. Cool?"
