Yes, definitely. It’s her M.O.: “There’s a special place in hell for women who tease me,” while ganging up and releasing diss tracks about other women.

Whoa. Weird to see someone using their multiple accounts one right after the other!

On the other hand, Taylor very clearly tells Kanye that he should do whatever he wants and tells him that she appreciates him asking because an artist shouldn’t have to ask about what lyrics to include.

The thing is, if the line was done better, it could have made her seem like the cool girl who isn’t above a little self-deprecating humor. She clearly discusses something similar to that being the case, when the album released. But she was also smart enough to know that if the line didn’t work, she could play the…

ugh.

It’s already been said that the call took place in New York, which has a one-party consent law (only one out of however many of the callers needs to consent to the recording in order for the recording to be legal and admissible in a court of law), but in case anyone is curious about federal law or state-by-state…

Lawyer here... yes technically recording someone without their knowledge is against the law but a) it’s only a $2500 fine, I think Kanye and Kim will be happy to pay up if required to, and b) there are a LOT of loopholes involved here... this was a video of him on the phone with her, not a direct recording of a phone…

except you can clearly hear where she says something to the effect that he’s right “no one knew who i was”. she literally agreed with him LOL.

The thing that infuriates me is that its obvious from the videos that she was aware of and approved the sex line, but somehow even if she didn’t hear it, his use of the word bitch, as commonplace as it is in rap, is where she draws the line. It’s ridiculous

It’s all moot, no one is arresting Kim/Kanye for making the recording, but I really don’t think a person can have an objectively reasonable expectation of privacy if they are on speaker phone.

On the episode tonight they discussed that and said it was in NY. They’ve definitely been planning this for a while.

Ah. In that case, the laws might be different. They might not need her permission.

The thing that infuriates me the most about the whole “bitch” part is that she LOVES flaunting her friendship with Kendrick Lamar. The same person who has a hit song called, “Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe.” If you’re gonna claim to be a feminist, you can’t just pick and choose what’s going to outrage you. You can’t just…

Kim isn’t stupid. She introduced these recordings in her GQ cover one month ago. Since then, gossip items suggest Taylor’s team has worked to keep them private via cease-and-desist letters. That means Kim’s legal team has been involved in the matter.

She didn’t record that in California, did she? Because um ... hmm ... I hope she had Taylor’s permission to record.

The ranch dressing on the side somehow helps with the concept of this picture.

In case that’s not cute enough for you, here’s baby Drake.

I have to read teenage bad handwriting as part of my job. It def says Jimmy.

Nearly spot-on skin-colored tights.

Her mistake was in believing that people in general are as big of assholes as she is.. the response, however, gives me the teensiest, tiniest bit of faith in humanity.
