I know I have to cover a Kardashion story when there are suddenly feminist thinkpieces being written about some scene in Keeping Up with the Kardashians. So let’s get into it. In Sunday’s episode of KUWTK, they were showing scenes of the family preparing to go to the Met Gala. As everyone remembers, Kim wore that crazy Mugler corset-dress which gave her a “wet look.” It didn’t really seem on-theme, but sure. She was one of the most photographed people on the gala red carpet, which was Kim’s goal. Kanye was also there, but apparently he did not approve of Kim’s whole sexy look:
After almost a year of preparation, Kanye waited until the last second to make his feelings known—because apparently, Kim’s look is all about him!
“Like, the corset, underwear, all that vibe…I just feel like I just went through this transition of being a rapper and lookin’ at all these girls,” he said. “I didn’t realize that that was affecting, like, my soul and my spirit.”
Kanye also made it clear that he’s not super into Kim showing off her body since he’s “someone that’s married and in love and the father of what’s about to be four kids.” Naturally, Kim wasn’t having this ridiculousness and seemed visibly pissed, saying, “The night before, you’re going to come in here and say you’re not into the corset look? You’re giving me really bad anxiety….I don’t need any more negative energy.”
Kanye still pressed his point, though, saying, “You are my wife and it affects me when pictures are too sexy,” while Kim shot back, “You built me up to be a sexy person and have confidence! Just because you’re on a journey and you’re in a transformation doesn’t mean I’m in the same spot with you.”
Kanye spent years bragging about Kim’s body and her sexiness and how much money she earns from selling her image as a pin-up bombshell. And now he wants her to tone it down? Horsesh-t. And this is totally about Kanye’s newfound preacher vibe – he suddenly wants Kim to be his conservative (MAGA?) church wife. And I would tell him to GTFO too.
Other stories involving Kim… her Halloween decorations are so funny/dumb: she’s doing a very chic pale-green pumpkin/gourd arrangement in a pile outside her house. And Kim has also posted a ton of photos from the Armenian baptisms of her children – go here to see.

I hate when people suddenly have this transformations and expect you to change with them too. My sister and I still don’t speak we used to party hard together then she became saved and then she slowly cut me out off her life. Smh
My daughter’s SIL did the same thing. They had her husband’s vasectomy reversed because having sex is for procreating only. Her children get 3 presents at Christmas because that is all that Jesus received. They, maybe, see them twice a year – Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Yes, some people only live in extremes. And if you find actual balance, they get critical. Bieber is another one whose pendulum swung too far to the church.
My sister did that, too. Evangelical when she married. We were never particularly close, but she makes no effort to know my kid. She had 5, and my mom and I kept trying to keep them in our lives by visiting and having them stay with us. I could never have all of the kids at once, but I am grateful that she didn’t keep her kids from us. Her hubby is an evangelical narcissist, and she supports his every decision.
So did my sister. It created a huge wedge in her relationship with the rest of my family. We were fine with her new belief system (not for us but her choice) but she judged the hell out of us for not joining her at this fundamentalist church.
So did my sister. Turned 18 and met some older super religious lady and bam! Southern Baptist cult with 4 kids and we hardly talk. To be fair, we’ve never been close as I am not a bigot and I don’t believe in religion. It’s torn my whole family apart, my parents try to get them to put them in school but they just won’t because they want to shelter their children and it’s just sickening and sad.
While on the one hand I can “sort of” understand where Kayne is coming from – she is his wife and the mother of his children. But as Kaiser so aptly pointed out, he literally built her up and bragged about her sexiness/hotness for YEARS!!! Now you want her to tone it down? Yeah, GTFO
I remember years ago when she said she was going to tone down the sexy and then once he entered the picture she was practically his babrbie doll(he did the same to Amber Rose) and even convinced to do the full frontal Paper cover.
@Keekee EXACTLY! He would full on brag about her all the time! He really has issues, no offense.
No, man. It’s a huge red flag when a man tries to control a woman like this. A lot of red flags with Kanye, however. Kim seems to ignore them, for the most part
Yep, huge red flags. I actually watched this episode Sunday, I’ve seen maybe 10 episodes over the years when nothing else is on, but Kim shut his bullshit down very quickly. I was actually surprised because it did seem like she was his little puppet Barbie doll for years. I figured she did whatever he wanted, but nope he stormed out of the room and she rolled her eyes and shrugged her shoulders, good girl!
Kim answer was on point. That’s all I have.
This. Men are not entitled to pure/modest wives, and the woman’s clothing and purity (or lack thereof) do not ‘make the man.’
I wonder if we can see the changes in her already? I wonder inside how often she second guesses herself and her choices
I wonder how replaceable she feels given that he cloned her after Amber Rose
Her fashion has been majority dire since Kanye. I know now a fashion darling but god knows how (not the Mugler). I remember when he had someone fix her wardrobe.
His bland aesthetic which is now de rigueur.
His move to Utah
His becoming a preacher
Her being told to tone it down
Where does it end? Wherever it stops it will no doubt be blamed on her in the end…..
Yes, I respect her a lot more after hearing her answer. Good for her.
Kanye gonna Kanye. It’s totally misogynistic. He will have her wearing mu mu’s soon and next year he will want her to be half naked again. I still don’t believe these two are in love. He is her chosen sperm donor and she is his dress up doll.
I really do love that Met Gala dress though. She looked gorgeous.
They are two narcissists who have zero chemistry. She got children out of him and he got someone to dress up. I don’t think they even live together.
@minx, THIS. I’ve seen better chemistry between a potato and an onion.
but potatoes and onions REALLY ARE great together
100% misogynistic. And on the abuse spectrum. Red flag.
He is being abusive by saying that stuff and thinking that way. I don’t think she’s actually in love with him so his words probably don’t have the same effect as they would if they were a legit couple. Hopefully it doesn’t escalate to anything else, you never know with Kanye.
Kanye really is a nutcase.
Not too long ago Kanye talked about his porn addiction. He said before meeting Kim he would watch her “tape” hundreds of times and that’s probably one of the reasons he became infatuated with her. Now he’s all religious and wants her to change. Dude you knew who you were marrying ! But also the show is scripted and fake so it may all have been just for ratings as they do.
Unpopular Opinion: Kim looked great that night. It wasn’t exactly on theme, but whatever.
Kanye’s being ridiculous and I don’t want to talk about him. I can’t stand him.
Agreed! I think it was on theme- The current cover girl going as an amped up version OF HER COVER is on-point camp. It was well thought out and executed.
Kanye can take a walk….
While I disagree about the dress, I 100% support your second statement, so let’s go back to talking about the dress.
‘ol jackass.
I’ll take “Fake ass storyline that PMK came up with to give her prize grifter some feminist cred and an out in case of a divorce” for 10, Alex.
Why do people keep falling for this?
That was my first guess too, everything with them is always fake for TV.
But I can also totally believe he’s “changed” and wants her to also, because he’s a controlling narcissist.
Thank you. Fakety fake fake.
There’s a LOT about PMK et al that’s fake…
However…I’d bet REAL MONEY…that was NOT!
Besides…we ALL KNOW that Kanye wouldn’t LOWER HIMSELF to lend his…ahem…talents to a fake story-line….
Do I think the Kardashians lie for attention? Pffft, of course.
After all the stunts he’s pulled, am I willing to give Kanye the benefit of the doubt? No. I’ve seen Kanye do worse than this with my own 2 eyes.
Agreed. Anything to make this family “real” I suppose. This isn’t the first storyline to give her an out, it’s just the latest in a string of “evidence” when it happens. Feminist lawyer breaking free from the man… in season 739 of KWK…
Her “sexiness” hurts my soul too.
Since when are big rubber fakers sexy? Or a face so full of botox and fillers that it can’t express emotion?
I think he meant to say “trashiness”.
☝Part of the problem.
Trying to stifle women and shut them up based on your own one sided views…. that’s the problem
Criticizing both sexes for calling women trash (and other dehumanizing slurs) based on female modesty is not ‘stifling women ‘ or ‘telling women to shut up’. Holding both to the same standard when it comes to how women are treated is equality, actually.
No one is being stifled. IMO KK is so ridiculously contrived there is nothing remotely sexy about her but pointing out that trashy when used to described a woman’s look is pretty firmly based in sexism isn’t stifling you. You gave your opinion, someone else gave theirs. Your ability to speak your own opinion was not curtailed in any way. Being responded to =/= censorship
@Neverremember: 👏👏👏Truth. #TheyALLKnow
I know people keep saying this, but I can’t see this marriage lasting much longer.
he’s gone full Church Lady MAGAt, and she isn’t going to change her method of moneymaking any time soon. they’re never together. Ye needs to be medicated to be healthy, and he refuses to do so. what’s to say that he wouldn’t take his piousness to another level while in an extreme manic phase and decide that she needs to repent (die) for her “sins” of being sexy and showing her body? not being sarcastic here. if I were her, I’d worry about my and my kids safety.
I’m completely over Kanye but it’s a little irresponsible to insinuate that someone with no known history of domestic violence is suddenly going to kill his wife and kids. These are the types of negative stereotypes that both black men and people with mental illness constantly have to deal with.
but Leigh, sometimes it does happen like that. no history of any physical abuse in a family and then one day the mom or dad freaks out and kills the spouse and kids. skin color doesn’t play a part.
I’m not insinuating or implying that he’s likely to do that. I’m just saying that it happens, Kanye is unwell mentally, and who knows what he’s capable of. “it hurts my soul” is pretty dramatic/extreme language. if I were her, for HIS safety and my own, I’d want him to be healthy.
That’s a good point though. Possessive, misogynistic attitudes about female modesty and purity are behind a lot of femicide and different forms of violence women and girls face. That doesn’t necessarily mean that this will happen with these two. Hopefully it doesn’t. But demonizing and dehumanizing real and hypothetical immodest women is a part of the culture that people have gotten too comfortable with, and the emphasis is put on women toler8ing it rather than on dealing with it. It’s connected to victim-blaming too.
This is the very basis for “honor killings”. Keep that in mind.
You’re right. Links don’t always work properly, but Sheena Pradhan had a good piece on it a few years ago.
Kanye is walking a very thin line between acting mentally stable to very unstable, we’ve all seen him going through his manic phases before, triggered no doubt by going off his meds. So now that he’s proselytizing his fundamentalist religious beliefs we have no idea how far he will take it. Will he become a new self-professed messiah? Will he demand that Kim wear long robes and stop wearing make-up? I think this will become a real bone of contention in their already wobbly marriage and could very well end up with, at the very least, some mental/emotional abuse. Kim’s a tough one though, she’ll ride this through and if her marriage ends, oh well, she’ll find herself another man in a New York minute.
She is not sexy.. she seems like a ‘thing’
wtf?!
They make beautiful children.
That’s all I’ve got.
they really do. all four of those kids are cuties.
Ok.
He’s a sexist a-hole. Good for her for shuting that sh*t down.
This, and an immodest woman or girl has just as much right to stand up for herself as the girl or woman who was genuinely trying to be a classy good girl. Saying otherwise is inequality.
Ironically, since she got with him she’s become so OTT injected and waxed and tweaked and squeezed into his ugly clothes that she’s just about the complete opposite of sexy.
He had her doing some truly awful ads for his “clothing line” also.
She looks so overly altered now, it’s weird. I think that dress is really pretty and interesting, but she looks like a cartoon now and ruins it.
+1. You’re right on with all of your points!
Yeah, and it’s hard to believe that that house is really her taste. I went through a KUWTK watching phase a few years ago and she had a Mediterranean style house that was so gorgeous. She was so proud of it and it seems to really suit her. Her house now is beyond weird.
No one lives in that house .
Yet another reason Kanye can fuck right the fuck off! Now I’m cheering for Kim, First of Her Name, Mother of the Vultures of Culture, KARDASIAN!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Goddamn it folks, we are really in an extinction event. *sigh*
I don’t know if this was faked for the show but he’s done this before. Remember how he idolized Amber Rose and when he got with KK talked about having to take 30 showers first? Like AR was now dirty and disgusting? He’s a misogynist.
Yep. That was, and he is misogynistic. Too bad others will encourage it sometimes by shaming girls for not being chill about it.
In my opinion, if anything, she’s sleazy sexy!
I hate when people blame his BPD for his political views and misogyny.
Truth.
Mental health may adjust your filter or your connection with reality. It doesn’t make you a racist, homophobe, or sexist.
Period.
This entire piece is straight out of The Onion.
Kanye literally has a bar that says “You’re such a fuckin’ hoe, I love it”. This wasn’t that long ago and he was referring to his wife. He’s becoming more a hypocrite the more religious he becomes which isn’t surprising.
Self-righteous, delusional (believing in imaginary things) and admitted mental illness is a toxic combination. He’s being allowed to deteriorate because the Jesus freaks think because he slaps god on everything it’s OK.
It’s not going to end well.
Sometimes I wonder if they’ve ever even had sex…
You’re not the only one….
Me too. Neither seems very sexual to me. Ray J said they would stop sex so she could fix her makeup. Despite her attempts at sexual allure, I don’t think she’s that into sex.
The biggest headscratcher to me isn’t Kanye but that her hideous outfit with her increasingly horrifying body is considered sexy.
It’s being reported he’s the religious one YET Kim and her kids were the ones who just went to Armenia to get baptized lol. I think they both just use “religion” as they feel fit. In other words, to get pr for an album or whatever it is Kim is promoting.
Because it’s all about him.. gtfo Kanye!
I don’t mean to sound negative but what is/was her transformation? Getting in shape and losing the baby weight? She really is stunning.
extensive plastic surgery
You can clearly tell she’s had a lot of work done head to toe. That figure is not from exercising or dieting. If so, she would have lost weight in her boobs and ass but for some reason the women in this family get bigger boobs/ass but smaller everywhere else hmmmm. Also, just go back to the first season of KUWTK and you can clearly see the amount of work she’s had done on her face too…her beautiful Armenian nose is gone and NOPE it’s not from “contouring”. She really does think we are stupid.
I can’t stand fucking men w double standards. This MF talked mad shit about Amber Rose. Fuck him and his transformation. And the guys that said anything to get into my pants, then dumped me afterwards for being “too easy.” BITCH YOU WERE THERE TOO!
And if you take your time, you’re a tease and a prude.
A.M.E.N
I have to say, I think this is a good look for Kim (but probably for no one else in the world). This is her image and it’s so on point. She does this look very well. She was also on point in her comments to Kanye.
I’m just counting down to that divorce announcement.
Good on Kim. She deserves credit for this.
The Kardashian sisters and mother are executive producers of the show. If they wanted the scene cut out they could have easily done it. It was left in there for a reason. I think Kim is done having kids, she doesn’t need Kanye anymore.
I believe this to be manufactured drama. They’ve got everyone talking about it and them, right? Kris probably wrote every line of dialogue between them between stirs of her cauldron.
Mel, yes, you are right, of course.
